I’ve traveled all over the world😊 ### 5/5 — Stunning *2026-05-06, version 3.13.09* A must for a treadmill ### 4/5 — Good but £££££ too much *2026-04-22, version 3.13.09* I enjoyed using this with my FTMS treadmill through Kinni app on my iPhone and using my Apple Watch as HR Monitor with Heart Cast. I wanted the Lifetime Membership as I don't do subscriptions but I'm sorry it costs more than a new treadmill so it's not happening - in UK the VAT takes it to just short of £500 - Im a pensioner and theres no scenario where I can spare that amount of money for an app. Guess I'm going to get to know Iceland really well then - it really is an awesome hike, well done BitGym ### 5/5 — Rudern durch Städte und Landschaften *2026-04-19* Nette Filme die einen vergessen lassen das man sich grade anstrengt, preislich etwas zu teuer, aber 8 Euro sollte ein Raucher im Monat verschmerzen können, eine Packung weniger rauchen schon ist sie für lau ### 2/5 — Na ja *2026-04-14* Wurde als Alternative zu Kinomap installiert. Abo abgeschlossen und letztlich doch nicht die Erwartungen erfüllt. Viele Videos sind meiner Meinung nach mehr für das Laufband und bis auf ein paar wenige aber gute Videos, zum Radfahren geeignet. Die Videos in sehr guter Qualität mit teilweise sehr informativen Beiträgen. Vielleicht kommen ja im laufe eines Jahres noch ein paar erweiterte Videos dazu. Trotzdem ein paar Sterne. Die Qualität ist gut und für den Lauf- Wasser - und Radfahrer , mit Sicherheit eine sehr gute Wahl. Update nach gut 2 Monaten Leider , leider nicht mehr zufrieden. Viele der Videos scheinen KI generiert. Es wird durch Menschen, Gegenstände hindurchgefahren, was den Schluss zulässt, dass die Aufnahmen nicht echt sind. Habe einige Touren auf YouTube verglichen und da bewege ich mich als Radfahrer auf echten Touren. Das Abo wird auf jeden Fall gekündigt. 14. April 2026. Heute eine Mail bekommen bezüglich der Rezension. Danke für die Info. Wenn BitGym mit einer hoch professionellen Software arbeitet, dann sollte doch der Versuch unternommen werden, eine realistische Tour zu bekommen. Die Aufnahmen sind zu Flüssig! Ruderer fahren übrigens Rückwärts und nicht vorwärts in die Szene Auf einer gängigen online Plattform kann ich Radtouren abfahren die keine Super Filmqualität haben aber sehr authentisch sind. BitGym ist ein sehr gutes Programm aber teilweise nicht sehr realistisch. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share this — we appreciate all honest feedback. We want to respectfully set the record straight on one point, for your benefit and anyone else reading this: BitGym tours are 100% real-world footage, filmed on the ground by our human crews. There is no fabricated footage or stock footage involved in any tour in BitGym. The ultra-smooth quality that may have raised your suspicion is the result of our proprietary stabilization software, filming rigs and editing process, refined over the past decade, combined with the skills and experience of our hard-working filming and editing team. High-quality image stabilization can create a floating, frictionless look that feels unfamiliar — but it's the same principle behind professional cinema and broadcast production (but optimized in BitGym for forward-motion video). Obstacles may appear to "slide past" the camera when the frames are stabilized for motion, which is sometimes mistaken for artificial footage. We understand this is a very important aspect to many people in today's digital content age, and it is to us and our craft too. To help address this we'll be sharing more behind-the-scenes content about the making of BitGym tours new and old, in addition to adding a statement to our website about AI use. In the meantime, we encourage anyone curious about this to reach out to us directly — we're a small team and happy to talk through how our footage is made. We take authenticity seriously, and we stand fully behind every tour in our library. We hope to see you try BitGym again, as we'll keep expanding our cycling and ride content. ### 5/5 — Quite amazing; I use it regularly and never get bored. *2026-04-08, version 3.13.07* Years on and now with a fast broadband connection, this is still one of my favourite apps. It just works. The only improvement I could suggest would be some sort of streak or cumulative points counter to reward frequent use. I can use it with treadmill or rebounder at home, and on holiday have sometimes just jogged on the spot! At the gym I just balance a phone or iPad in front of me on any equipment. You can ignore the rest except to demonstrate that I have been loving this app for years and it keeps getting better! [previous reviews … The app still works best for me if I download rather than stream, but that is my awful broadband! Also, the company response was great and they offered me a beta version that would download on 3G. So I am a happy bunny! I love this app. I would buy an ipad just to use Bitgym. Previous review: I was upset when I updated and it lost the 10 tracks I had downloaded to my vault as it will not download on cellular data and our broadband is so slow and flakey that downloads always timed out and streaming just didn't work. I worked round this by downloading 10 tracks on holiday while staying in a place with excellent wifi so I was devastated to lose them. However, I got excellent help from the team who offered me a beta version with cellular download and then also found that I didn't need it - they have made the download/streaming a lot slicker somehow so it works even with my steam-powered internet. The new version has some features that I love as well as some I hate (in an app that tries to make virtual exercise like reality, why introduce google glass style graphics that turn it back into a computer screen experience?) but overall it is clearly improved. So do upgrade, but be aware of the need to re- load tracks if you rely on the vault for use at the gym etc. also, there is another upgrade out - it would be great if the blurb could state whether or not existing downloads will persist. Thanks!! Original review: I'm giving this 5 stars even though I'm sure they will be improving it in various ways in the future, because this is just a killer app as far as I'm concerned. This is what computers should do. I can't believe how accurate it gets my RPM - spot on by the exercise bike's read out. I have always found using an exercise bike very boring, but the last two evenings I have gone way beyond the time I intended, just because I wanted to see what was round the next corner and get to the end of the trail. I haven't tried it on the treadmill yet. I think we've got a bit spoiled by expecting every app to cost 69p. Remember when Palm Pilot program's were £30 for not very much? My preference, I think, in an ideal world would be to have a pay-per-trail like in the virtual active app, only less, maybe 2.50. I'd probably buy a new one every week, so I'd actually pay more than the monthly thing, but maybe have some months when I would just repeat stuff. But hey, this app has transformed a used ebay bike purchase into a state of the art interactive machine! I could pay the monthly sub for years before I ended up paying what another reviewer paid for his iFit bike! I'm truly in awe of this app, and I really hope development continues and new tracks keep coming. Love it! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-03-19, version 3.13.06* This makes me look forward to the treadmill! Please, please, please add more Cardio Coach workouts. I’ve done them so many times that I say Sean’s words before he does! Lol. Please make more. :-) ### 3/5 — AirPlay so so *2026-03-04, version 3.13.06* Like the app and all the choices for scenery. Please figure out the buffering to make airplay better on a TV. Right now it’s very stop and start which is frustrating. ### 3/5 — Could have been great *2026-02-16, version 3.13.06* The quality of the videos is terrific and I would give that 5 stars. I also like that I can follow along the suggested RPE and manually adjust my treadmill. However I cannot immerse myself in the trails because these are not continuous - rather several sites from a location are stitched together. When it jumps to a new scene it is extremely jarring. As an example, I just did a Vancouver one for 35 minutes- had 6 different sites not even contiguous. Jumps from city to park and back again. I have tried 5 other videos and they all do the same thing. I cancelled my free trail for this reason. That is also the reason I can only give the overall rating of 3 stars despite the high quality of the video. As another aside I don’t like that I can’t search particular locations without just scrolling down a list (I.e. can’t search for Greece let’s say have to go down total list to find any). Most other fitness apps have better search function. ### 5/5 — Scenic delights *2026-02-07, version 3.13.05* Love this app, especially that I can do scenic rides and hear the nature sounds and not invasive music. ## Frequently asked questions about BitGym ### What does BitGym do?
