Wattbike, the indoor cycling brand known for its use by elite athletes and sports teams, has announced a new integration with EGYM that allows its performance data to flow directly into the EGYM ecosystem. Designed for commercial fitness operators, the integration allows for the incorporation of VO2 Max testing into various stages of the member journey, such as initial onboarding, quarterly reassessments, and personalized programming.
The Wattbike integration specifically links to a member's Cardio BioAge score. This connectivity enables health and performance metrics captured during a Wattbike session — from the validated VO2 Max estimate to calories burned, and virtual distance — to feed directly into the EGYM platform. The VO2 Max result, in particular, a direct impact on the calculation of the Cardio BioAge score.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Connected Fitness Metrics
- Integrated equipment ecosystems are creating richer member profiles by combining workout outputs with health indicators that support more personalized fitness experiences.
- Bioage-based Programming
- Cardio BioAge scoring introduces a more accessible performance benchmark that can translate complex physiological data into member-friendly progress tracking.
- VO2 Max Personalization
- Validated VO2 Max testing within commercial gyms signals a shift toward elite-level assessment tools becoming embedded in everyday wellness journeys.
Sectors Adopting This
- Fitness Technology
- Data interoperability between exercise equipment and gym platforms is expanding the value of connected hardware beyond individual workouts.
- Health Clubs
- Commercial operators can differentiate memberships through recurring assessments that make progress measurement more objective and engaging.
- Sports Performance
- Athlete-grade cycling analytics entering mainstream fitness environments reflects a broader convergence of performance training and preventive health monitoring.
