This collaboration integrates Ergatta’s engaging race-based workouts and the Meteor game, which provides personalized kinetic interval training that pushes users to their limits while keeping them engaged, into iFIT’s ecosystem. This will allow users to compete against themselves, other members, or iFIT trainers. The game-based fitness integration aims to transform traditional cardio workouts into dynamic, competitive, and entertaining experiences that have the potential to foster motivation and long-term fitness habits. Starting March 17th, iFIT Pro members can access these features on iFIT-enabled treadmills, with [rowing machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-indoor-rowing) to follow.
