BitGym works on nearly every cardio machine, thanks to our camera-based tracking algorithm.
You can use the free version of the BitGym app without any obligation or the need to provide payment information. We encourage you to simply try it for yourself to see if it works well for your smart device, cardio machine, and internet connection.
Find our latest store links for various platforms on our home page.
See this article for more info about using BitGym with your cardio machine.
You may use BitGym across multiple platforms with a single subscription. If you use BitGym on multiple platforms, we recommend switching to a BitGym Direct subscription.

Unofficial - on a Chromebook or other ChromeOS device
As the ChromeOS is updated, it is capable of running various Android applications natively. However, the features present on the Chromebook may not often be recognized the same way by the Android software as on a tablet or phone.
If you are unable to install BitGym via the Google Play store on a chromebook, you can try installing it directly without the store.
Unofficial — on a computer/other smart device (Windows/Mac OS)
You may use BitGym with emulators such as Bluestacks or Android on Windows on other platforms (Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS, etc), including accessing your BitGym Membership.
However, BitGym is designed primarily for the platforms described in previous sections. We do not officially provide support emulator versions or any browser/desktop versions.
