Your Machine. Your Metrics. Your Coach. Connected. MCF Thrivified turns your MyCloudFitness machines into a complete training system. Connect over Bluetooth and every session flows straight into your phone, your Apple Watch and Apple Health. Your machine doesn't have to retire with its app. MCF Thrivified keeps your MyCloudFitness equipment connected, tracked and syncing — with training tools the original console never had. Go further than that console ever could: battle bosses in Momentum Quest, ride real-world routes on a live 3D map, train along with guided videos, and get an honest daily read on how hard to push today. More Ways to Train: • Momentum Quest: Turn your workout into a boss battle. Hold live speed, power, cadence or heart rate targets, set from your own baseline, to wear each boss down. Beat one, face the next, and earn XP all session. • Virtual Journey: Pick a real-world route and ride it on a live 3D map that moves as you move. • Live Diagram: Speed, power, cadence, heart rate and calories as rolling live charts. Switch modes anytime, mid-workout. • Machine Control: Set resistance from your phone, or start a built-in bike program and let it drive the ride. Key Features: • Built for MyCloudFitness: Connect your machines over Bluetooth and start training in seconds. • Real-Time Tracking: Live speed, distance, power, cadence, calories and time, logged automatically. No manual entry. • Let's Move! Video Training: Guided workouts and programs, with your machine's live metrics beside the video. • Thrivify Stream: Say goodbye to boring cardio. Watch YouTube while you train, send it to the TV with AirPlay, and come back to a freshly curated playlist every day. • Apple Watch & Heart Rate Straps: Log from your wrist, or pair a chest strap for accurate heart rate and live zones. • Deep Workout Reports: Splits, pace, cadence, zones and your route with its elevation profile, exportable as PDF or image. • Apple Health: Workouts, calories and active minutes sync automatically. • Thrive Index: Balances Recovery and Strain so you know exactly how hard to train without burning out. • Stress Score: A daily read on your body's load from heart rate, HRV and sleep, so you can tell strain from real recovery. • Circadian Alignment: See how last night's sleep lined up with sunrise and sunset, and get tonight's ideal bedtime. • Thrive Age: The fitness age your health trends add up to, moving as you train. • Workout Weather: Hourly windows that tell you the best time today to head outside. • Coach Thrivify: AI workout tips and training insights, grounded in your own numbers. • Wellness Planner: Personalized workout and meal plans built around your goals and schedule. • Leaderboards: See where you stand among Top Burners, Top Walkers and Top Trainers, on a board that resets every 30 days. Compatibility: • Built for Bluetooth-enabled MyCloudFitness equipment. Check your machine's manual to confirm it connects over Bluetooth. • Resistance control and bike programs require a machine that supports them. • Sleep and recovery features require Apple Health and an Apple Watch or compatible heart rate monitor. • MCF Thrivified is an independent companion app, not the original MyCloudFitness app. Download now to start your free trial!
