Thanks for the video. After reviewing several bikes, I didn't realize the Echelon I ordered didn't have a computer (without the use of an app). I was planning on using it with an iPad and Apple Fitness+ which wouldn't have worked. Hoping my cancellation goes through!

I just want to say thank you again for your amazing reviews. I just got my Apple 4K preordered. And got my Vizio television ordered. Still sitting on the fence on which app I will use Apple fitness or peloton. Both seem to be amazing. Think I’ll do the free trials on both and see which one fits my lifestyle the best. But I love your down to earth approach keep the videos coming.

Amen to that! Best of luck, with your personal fitness goals!

Thanks for the review, yes I believe at this stage they both offer the same experience. However, on the Peloton, I can still follow the Cadence since the bike shows the cadence on the peloton app, so when the instructor says 80 Cadence, i can catch up. Yeah cadence does not show on the bike screen, but it shows on iPhone. I have a bowflex btw, which is basically the same as Schwinn IC4. Cheers !

Also what I like on Peloton, is that they mention resistance as well. And not sure how Apple calculates the Burn Bar only based on heart rate, if they don't read any data from the bike. But i believe there will be improvements with time.

Awesome, yeah C6 is supposedly the exact same thing. Cool tip about the cadence! I've found the camera angles that Apple Fitness+ uses to be more exciting and having other riders in the room "livens things up" too.

I'm also curious how the Burn Bar is calculated. I used to be an avid cyclist on road bikes but now that I'm a little fat, I find it funny that I'm always finishing "ahead of the pack." I DEFINITELY feel that Apple will accessorize the heak out of the experience. Apple Fitness+ could lead to the next wave of Apple devices that one could carry ton the gym with them (track reps for strength training, track cadence for cardio equipment, etc.). It should be a fun journey but I'm loving the Apple Fitness+ day one experience and have already cancelled my Peloton App. Since Apple One makes it affordable for the family, my can become part of the experience and I'll also get all of the other Apple bonuses (Apple Music, Apple TV, cloud storage, etc.)

Thank you for your video. I agree Apple+ fitness is a great option. And per Apple, they’ll be adding more and more training. I was wondering if you can pick your own music during a training video or you have to use theirs?

@IrixGuy

3 жыл бұрын

Great question! I’ll have to see if there is a way to choose your own music vs. what the trainer has chosen. Yeah, this is definitely only the beginning for Apple Fitness+

BTW I researched this, Thanks again for the excellent question! At the time of posting this, choosing your own music for Apple Fitness+ workouts does not seem to be an option.

It’s so nice to search exactly what I want to know , and see a normal guy not a spandex bike guy ! I’m just starting to decide a bike to try and I have 50 lbs to lose! so instead of an Schwinn e bike ( what I was searching i when I ran into this indoor bike ) I am deciding to not be lazy ! I’m deciding by the IC3 vs this IC4 ? If the Apple doesn’t pair with this can I use the IC3 w my iPad and Apple app ?

If you have Apple Watch and iPhone you could use the IC3 for Apple Fitness+ but i’d recommend the IC4. It’s a rock-solid bike and is extremely quiet.

have you tried BKool app? I'd really like to find an App with virtual rides that I can use with my IC4 that the screen tells you what to make your resistance and cadence. Pelaton instructions do this, but I don't always want to do a class. And their virtual videos don't give you any cues to work harder or easier or how steep an include is, so they aren't motivating.

I have not tried BKool but honestly after switching to Apple Fitness+, I don’t want to use anything else. My rowing machine arrived yesterday, so I track rowing, IC4 cycling and all of my outdoors hikes, walks and jogs using my Apple Watch. It’s the best experience for me.

Had to watch this video twice, because I stared at the Submariner wall clock about the whole time. Would like to find a GMT Master II wall clock like that.

Awesome! Be sure to subscribe to my channel and check out all of my Timepieces for Tomorrow videos. Search eBay for “dealer clocks” and you might get lucky! I’ve seen Daytona and many other variations floating around.

Does anyone know if it's possible to pair the IC4 with either Apple Watch or Apple TV for Apple Fitness so that cadence is tracked?

@IrixGuy

3 жыл бұрын

I don't think it's possible but I have heard mention of some after-market accessories. I just use my Apple Watch with Apple Fitness+ and watch the top "RPM" bar on the IC4. Apparently RPM is the same thing as cadence.

What application would you recommend that gives you a virtual ride with video. I dont really care for an instructor but would like to see the county views or beach views while riding?

@IrixGuy

You might want to check out FulGaz for that. Also, Peloton App has a few "virtual ride" types of things but it's primarily gym class style.

Have you done a video where you actually get on your bike, turn on your TV and do a workout with Apple Fitness+? I'd like to see that. Just talking about it doesn't give me an appreciation for how it actually works. Thanks!

So what you are trying to say is that ic4 is not supported by Apple fitness plus app. And you just rely on Fitness plus + Apple Watch. Bike is independent.

@IrixGuy

Yup. Peloton App pairs with the IC4 for cadence...Apple Fitness+ (version out now) doesn’t pair with the IC4 at all and just relies upon the Apple Watch. It works really well and I love Apple Fitness+ for my rowing workouts too!
