Bluetooth FTMS

Treadmill compatibility

PulseWise works in manual mode with any treadmill. Bluetooth features depend on the treadmill supporting compatible FTMS services.

Best experience

  • Treadmill supports Bluetooth FTMS treadmill data.
  • Console is awake before scanning.
  • Treadmill is not already connected to another app.
  • Phone Bluetooth permission is allowed.

Manual mode

If your treadmill does not support FTMS, you can still follow guided workouts, adjust speed manually and use the full nutrition, weight and progress tools.

Connection can vary by treadmill model, console firmware and Bluetooth implementation.

Clear compatibility message

If a treadmill does not appear to support Bluetooth FTMS, PulseWise should explain that live speed, incline data and automatic treadmill control may not be available while guided manual mode remains usable.
