Wattbike, the pioneering indoor cycling brand trusted by the best elite sports teams, health clubs and high-performance facilities worldwide, announces today a new integration with EGYM, enabling Wattbike products to now connect directly with the EGYM Ecosystem and a member’s ‘Cardio BioAge’ score.
Designed specifically for commercial fitness operators, the integration allows health and performance metrics captured on Wattbikes, including a VO2 Max result, calories burned and virtual distance to feed directly into the EGYM platform. VO2 Max results obtained from the Wattbike will also directly impact the EGYM ‘Cardio BioAge’ score.
As operators increasingly prioritise personalised fitness experiences and measurable health outcomes, integrated health data is becoming a key differentiator for member engagement and retention. Operators can incorporate VO2 Max testing into onboarding journeys, quarterly reassessments and personalised member programming.
On the integration, Tino Tsolakis, VP Partner Relations, EGYM explains, “Wattbike is a globally recognised leader in performance cycling and cardiorespiratory assessment. By integrating their proven VO2 Max capabilities into the EGYM ecosystem, we are giving operators another powerful tool to deliver highly personalised experiences and measurable health outcomes. This partnership reinforces our commitment to building the industry’s most connected ecosystem for fitness and wellbeing.”
The Wattbike Healthspan VO2 Max check test gives valid, accurate VO2 Max estimates for the general population without invasive gas analysis and extra operational cost. A higher VO2 Max is linked to better health and a longer life. By tracking VO2 Max, gym members can monitor improvements in their fitness over time.
The Wattbike testing process has been trusted for over 10 years in the UK with British Army, Nuffield Health, Bupa Clinics, and tens of thousands of tests a year with Discovery Health in South Africa. The benefits of VO2 Max improvements and cardiorespiratory fitness have never been easier to achieve with Wattbike and EGYM’s integration.
Wattbike and EGYM allow operators to enhance member onboarding, drive deeper personalisation and create a more motivating training environment. Members can see their outputs clearly, track improvements and push themselves to improve measurable results.
“Wattbike is excited to join the EGYM family of connected partners,” adds Steve Marshall, Wattbike’s Head of Commercial. “We bring over a decade of experience in delivering VO2 Max estimate testing in labs and gyms globally and we are thrilled to combine with EGYM to bring this credibility to EGYM ecosystem globally.”
Wattbike and EGYM’s partnership provides operators with an ever-improving integrated training environment, allowing improved benchmarking and retention possibilities. Members can obtain actionable training insights, providing a clear fitness direction and greater motivation to improve their health and fitness outcomes.
The integration is now available and to support connectivity with the EGYM Cloud, Wattbike provides the required firmware updates. For compatible Wattbikes equipped with a PTS 2, NFC or RFID Reader, hardware can be purchased and retrospectively fitted where needed. This enables operators to seamlessly connect Wattbikes with the EGYM ecosystem and benefit from an integrated training experience.
