Detect Gym Equipment Setting - Not Showing

i Found it finally! You have to go on your phone into the “Watch App” once there go to > Workout > Detect Gym Equipment and enable the option.

After that just open the Workout app on your phone and pair it with your Peloton

I fixed it on my watch. It has to do with a setting for you Activity. You may have it set to 13 years old or younger.

Hi ewchomp,

From your post, it sounds like you're not seeing an option to connect to gym equipment. Which watchOS version is the device running? If an update is needed, let's do that now: Update Apple Watch software - Apple Support

This support article may help: Use gym equipment with Apple Watch - Apple Support

Take care.

And you do have detect gym equipment turned on?

From your iPhone>Watch>Workout>Detect Gym Equipment

If that doesn't work

First try force restarting your iPhone by whatever method your version calls for.  As soon as you see the Apple logo force restart your watch by holding in the crown and side button for 10 seconds till you see the Apple logo then release.  Log into your iPhone and wait for your watch to boot, then log into it.

Failing that I'd try unpairing the watch from your iPhone then pairing it back setting it up as new.

Thanks for confirming. On the Apple Watch, tap Settings > Workout. Do you see the toggle button there? If not, let’s restart the watch: How to restart your Apple Watch

Take care.

Does your gym equipment support Gym Kit?

If it doesn't then it will never connect.

Where do you see that option? So far everything in this chat I have tried except this last change to the age limit but I can’t figure out where to change this. Shouldn’t it know my age from my account?

Did you ever figure this out? My brand new watch doesn’t show “detect gym equipment” either.

Thanks,

Alena

Thank you Randy. Interesting article but it is not related.

I called Apple support and they are looking into it. They told me that the toggle to detect gym equipment should be there.

I’m having the same issue and I am not amused.
