Your treadmill, but smarter. Connect via Bluetooth, control speed and incline from your phone, and see every workout as a chart — all for free, no account required. No ads, no videos, no gimmicks — just you and your workout. Go further with Premium: custom programs, heart rate zones, Live Activity, Apple Health sync, and more. CONNECT & CONTROL • Instant Bluetooth pairing — remembers your treadmill for next time • Adjust speed and incline directly from your phone • Export and import workouts and programs — share or back up your data SUPPORTED TREADMILLS • Built for FitShow. • FTMS-compatible treadmills are supported, but FTMS implementations vary by manufacturer. Some allow full control (speed, incline, start, stop) and rich data; some allow data only, with no control over the belt; some restrict third-party apps almost entirely. FTMS itself doesn't relay every metric — steps, for example, aren't part of it. We can't guarantee every FTMS treadmill will work — support depends entirely on what the manufacturer permits over Bluetooth. • Live compatibility list before you buy: https://treadmill-assistant.com/docs/compatibility/ • Treadmill not on the list?

Turn it on in Settings › Experimental Features › History, and the History tab opens the new screen. Workouts are grouped by day with per-day totals, you can filter by sync status or date range, and expanding a workout shows speed, steps, cadence, pace, incline, elevation and heart-rate zones on one page. Select several workouts at once to sync, export or delete them in a single action. Switch back to the classic screen any time — and tell us what you find. TREADMILL CONTROL • If your treadmill ignores a speed change you asked for, the app now says so instead of leaving you to notice on your own. • Resuming after a pause on FTMS treadmills no longer sends a zero speed setpoint. • An ad-hoc workout with a duration target keeps the time you had already run when you resume from a pause. • More accurate step counts and distance on FitShow treadmills. • In passive mode, workout duration follows the treadmill's own clock. WORKOUT HISTORY AND HEALTH • Your history now reads from a single clock: the heart-rate graph, segment markers and the totals stay lined up with each other over a long run instead of drifting apart. • Heart-rate traces are honest about dropouts — a brief gap is bridged, a long one stays a gap rather than holding your last reading flat across it. • Ending a workout while it is paused now records the paused time correctly. • A .FIT export of a program workout contains one lap per segment. • A workout is no longer removed from Apple Health over a read-back mismatch. • Re-syncing several workouts at once no longer skips the ones after a failure. • More of the History screen is translated. SUBSCRIPTION • The subscription screen recovers on its own — if plans fail to load, Retry brings them back instead of needing an app restart. • If plans still refuse to load, you can send a diagnostic report straight from that screen. • Purchase-failure messages are now translated in every supported language. • The "Share Purchase Diagnostics" row in Settings now appears only when a purchase actually ran into trouble, rather than after simply opening the subscription screen. Plus the usual round of smaller fixes and polish. ### 2026.07.01 — 2026-07-06 • Garmin .FIT export (new): save or share any workout as a .FIT file for Garmin Connect, Strava and more — turn it on in Experimental Features, then swipe a workout to share. • Workout history detail (new): tap a past workout to see more — average pace and cadence, average and max incline, exact elevation gained and floors climbed, and where its calories came from (your treadmill, your heart-rate monitor, or a speed & incline estimate). • Apple Watch step counting (experimental): counts steps through your workout, shows a live count on the watch, and saves them to your workout and Apple Health. • FTMS treadmill step counting: treadmills that report steps over Bluetooth now show a live step count, saved with your workout history. • Settings sync: your app settings and health profile now stay in sync across your devices. • FTMS compatibility mode (experimental): smoother, more reliable in-app speed and incline control on FTMS treadmills — turn it on per treadmill. • Cleaner speed and incline display: during ad-hoc and free-run workouts on FTMS treadmills, your set speed and incline no longer flash or show wrong values as the belt starts up, ramps down to a stop, or while you pause. • Heart-rate calorie coverage (new setting): choose how much of a workout your heart-rate monitor must cover before calories are estimated from heart rate (default 70%). • Workout duration source: choose whether workout time follows your treadmill's own clock or real elapsed time. • Free-run START now shows your set incline grade before you begin. • Ad-hoc target fields now appear while an FTMS treadmill is stopped, not only when it is idle. • Fixed: distance freezing mid-workout on treadmills that report elevation gain; the live timer counting during pause; program duration saving one second short; and an Apple Watch countdown issue. • Experimental Features are grouped by type, each with its own help link — plus more bug fixes and polish. ### 2026.06.01 — 2026-06-20 • Apple Watch HR relay (experimental): your watch streams heart rate into the workout for gapless coverage, attributed to Apple Health as a single accurate entry. • AirPods/Beats live HR session (experimental): compatible AirPods and Beats earbuds can now drive in-app heart rate and write to Apple Health during workouts; headphones must stay connected to the phone throughout the session. • BLE HR sensor priority list: save multiple BLE sensors (chest straps, optical arm sensors, BLE-streaming watches); the app sweeps and connects to the first available. A BLE sensor that is enabled and connected at workout start always takes priority over Apple Watch and AirPods. • Static incline for flat treadmills and walking pads: give your treadmill a fixed grade so calorie estimates, elevation, workout history, and Apple Health reflect a real riser — even when the belt reports 0% incline. The treadmill's own reading stays visible. • Imperial body measurements: enter your body weight in pounds and your height in feet and inches, independent of the units used for speed and distance. • Ad-hoc workouts: pause now correctly holds your progress instead of jumping to the full target on resume. • Workout duration no longer includes the treadmill's pre-start countdown. • Calorie estimates stay reliable if your Apple Health profile is briefly unreadable. • Settings reorganized: cleaner Health Metrics section and a new Experimental Features area for opt-in early features. • Polish across the board: clearer workout history, more consistent layout on iPad, and assorted bug fixes. ### 2026.05.02 — 2026-05-30 - Kettler treadmill support — connect and run guided programs on most modern Kettler machines, with on-screen guidance to get the belt moving (firmware blocks start/stop commands). - More accurate workout times — duration now reflects your actual running time, without the treadmill's start countdown. - Reliable saves — fixed a rare case where a finished workout could be saved with zero distance or calories. - Steadier live stats — fixed treadmill stats freezing a few minutes into a workout on some machines. - Better Apple Health records — your treadmill and heart-rate device stay correctly linked to each workout, even after they disconnect. - Cleaner program sync — programs you delete now stay deleted across all your devices, with a warning when two share a name. ### 2026.05.01 — 2026-05-14 Apple Health, supercharged. NEW IN APPLE HEALTH • 1-minute Heart Rate Recovery • Walking + Running speed per interval • Running stride length per interval • Step cadence (per-minute samples) • Average METs + physical-effort samples • Submaximal VO2 max from steady-state segments • HR min / avg / max in workout metadata • Hiking activity type when incline fits • Indoor flag + program name on each workout • Active vs. basal energy split correctly — calorie totals more accurate ACCURACY + RELIABILITY • Timeline records actual segment runtimes, so splits in Health match what you ran • Pause: fixes zone undercount during paused time • More forgiving HealthKit write retries POLISH • Health settings unified under "Health Metrics" • Height read from Health with manual fallback MULTIPLE APP LANGUAGES • FR / ES / DE / PL ## Apps similar to Treadmill Assistant | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [PowerTread: Treadmill Training](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/powertread-treadmill-training/id6751471581) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Treadmill Pro](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/treadmill-pro/id6759807162) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [TreadTrail](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/treadtrail/id6743779943) | — | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Thrivify Connect: FTMS Pair](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/thrivify-connect-ftms-pair/id6743779419) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [InclineFlow](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/inclineflow/id6755155865) | 1.0 (2) | Free | Health & Fitness | | [Unsit Treadmill by InMovement](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/unsit-treadmill-by-inmovement/id6529536032) | 3.4 (5) | Free | Health & Fitness | ## Related topics [treadmill workout guided](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/treadmill-workout-guided) · [fitshow](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/fitshow) · [treadmill workout tracks](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/treadmill-workout-tracks) · [free treadmill walking app](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/free-treadmill-walking-app) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
