Peloton Heart Rate on Apple Watch

Hi all- when I am doing most activities with the Peloton App, my heart rate has no problem connecting. This is not the case, however, when I am running. To get an accurate heart rate to sync up I end up having to scroll to/using the heart rate app. Only then will it show in the Peloton app. Yes- everything is turned on in My Health.


Thoughts?

Hello threedblonde,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 


We understand that when you use the Peloton app for workouts that your heart rate doesn’t sync to the Health app. We are happy to help.


Per Monitor your heart rate with Apple Watch - Apple Support, “When you use the Workout app, Apple Watch measures your heart rate continuously during the workout and for 3 minutes after the workout ends to determine a workout recovery rate. If you don’t see your heart rate, check your settings.”


You can use the steps here to calibrate your Apple Watch: Calibrate your Apple Watch for improved Workout and Activity accuracy - Apple Support

"Calibrate your Apple Watch

  1. While wearing your Apple Watch, go to a flat, open outdoor area that offers good GPS reception and clear skies.
  2. If you have Apple Watch Series 2 or later, you just need your Apple Watch.* If you have Apple Watch Series 1 or earlier, bring your iPhone for GPS. Hold your iPhone in your hand, or wear it on an armband or waistband.
  3. Open the Workout app, then tap Outdoor Walk or Outdoor Run. To set a goal before starting, tap the ... icon.
  4. Walk or run at your normal pace for about 20 minutes.

If you don't have time to finish the workout, you can complete 20 minutes over multiple outdoor Workout sessions. If you work out at different speeds, you should also calibrate for 20 minutes at each of the speeds that you walk or run.

Whenever you walk or run outside using the above steps, your Apple Watch continues to calibrate the accelerometer by learning your stride length at different speeds. Calibration can also improve the accuracy of your calorie calculations in the Workout app, and the calorie, distance, Move, and Exercise calculations in the Activity app. "


If no resolution, please contact Peloton for further assistance. Let us know if you have further questions.


Take care.
