Treadmill Pro

Overview

Treadmill Pro is an iOS mobile application designed to turn any standard or smart treadmill into a fully connected fitness station. Using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), it connects directly to modern machines supporting standard protocols like FTMS or proprietary walking pads without requiring external hardware. Users can manage speed and incline, track real-time pacing metrics, and sync health statistics directly on their device. The platform provides a clean, private, ad-free alternative to bulky native fitness consoles.
