This happens because the app must remain open during your entire workout. If you minimize or close the app (for example, to change music or answer a call), the connection to the bike’s Bluetooth signal is idle. While the app keeps counting time, it cannot receive workout data from the bike in the background. As a result, your training history may show missing or incorrect values for distance, watts, calories, etc.
The intensity percentage displayed during your workout is a preliminary calculation. This value is recalculated and refined once the complete workout data is processed and stored in your workout history. This recalculation may result in a slightly different percentage being displayed in your history. Therefore, the 100% you see initially is not the final value.
If you exit the BODY BIKE app, for example, to change music or reply to a message while cycling, the app will lose connection to the bike. During this time, power and cadence data are not received from the bike, which is used to calculate speed and distance, although time continues to be recorded. This loss of data can be a reason why the intensity may not show 100% at the end of the workout.
The time discrepancy between Strava and the BODY BIKE app is due to how each platform handles time zone information.
Strava uses the timestamp in the file and the UTC offset of your riding location (based on GPS data) to determine the start time.
The BODY BIKE App may have a slightly different time formatting, potentially leading to variations in the start time and date.
To ensure accurate time display on Strava:
1) Go to your Strava account on the website. Open the menu from your profile picture and select Settings.
2) Ensure your location is set correctly. Try changing it to Los Angeles, saving, refreshing the page, and then setting it back to your current location and save again.
To use Strava with BODY BIKE, follow these steps:
Currently, our app (version 2.2.7 and earlier) does not have the capability to transfer data from an Android phone to an iPhone, or iPhone to Android phone.
BODY BIKE prioritizes your privacy and does not store any user data on its servers. While some users appreciate this, it also means that saving your training data requires additional steps.
If you’d like to keep your training records, you can connect to Strava. However, please note that any medals earned in the BODY BIKE app will not transfer to Strava.
For those switching devices (e.g., from Android to Android or iPhone to iPhone), you can transfer your data within the app. You can finde the transfer guides here
This feature is only available for Android 10 and above.
Make sure that your smartphone has the latest version of the BODY BIKE Indoor Cycling app installed.
If you need to update your app, it is important that you open the BODY BIKE Indoor Cycling app after the update to make sure that all you have all your medals and workouts.

Every week, you have the chance to earn one of each medal: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. The challenges for each medal change weekly.
To earn a Silver medal, you must first achieve Bronze. Similarly, you must earn both Bronze and Silver before unlocking Gold.
The small circle connected to each medal shows how many of that medal you’ve earned. Tap the medal to see the challenges and how many days you have to achieve them in, before the weekly medal reset and new challenges are set.
Our achievement system is designed to keep you motivated and engaged. It features 7 levels and 3 medals.
Levels:
1) Rider
2) Skilled
3) Expert
4) Athlete
5) Elite
6) Hero
7) Club
Medals:
1) Bronze
2) Silver (Requires a Bronze medal)
3) Gold (Requires a Silver medal)
Once you earn a medal or level, it’s yours forever! However, you can continue challenging yourself with new weekly medal goals.
To achieve the Athlete status, you must complete these three challenges:
– Earn 5 Silver medals.
– Burn a total of 40,000 calories.
– Reach 15% of your red zone in a single workout.
Every 7 days, medal requirements reset. Tap the medal at the bottom to view the new requirements and deadline.
For example, a Silver medal might require reaching 10% of your red zone, burning 1250 calories, and completing 3 workouts in a week.
Your achievements are linked to the app. Deleting the app without backing up data will result in lost progress.
The BODY BIKE Connect Indoor Bike and Performance Console transmit data using the ANT+ protocol. This allows you to receive data on any ANT+ compatible device, such as some outdoor bike computers and watches. If you’re using a phone or tablet without ANT+, you can purchase an ANT+ key to enable your device to pick up the signal.
Once you’re able to receive the ANT+ signal, you’ll need a software program to process the data. There are various options available, and new ones are being developed regularly. Some focus on data storage, while others use the data for interactive purposes, like games on a big screen.
One popular application for storing and analyzing data is MapMyFitness. You can download a guide to using MapMyFitness to help you get started.
Please note that BODY BIKE cannot provide support for ANT+ devices or accessories that you purchase for phones or tablets.
