Last year, Strava dropped support for external Bluetooth and ANT+ sensors. Thanks to a new integration, Motosumo has a workaround.
Motosumo works with any Bluetooth-enabled indoor bike (including those with ANT+ sensors) and most heart rate monitors to record data from indoor cycling and group fitness workouts. The new Strava integration automatically uploads all your Motosumo workouts to your
Motosumo uses the sensors inside your smartphone to track fitness data during indoor cycling workouts. One of the metrics it can measure is cadence, i.e., how fast a rider is pedaling. Normally, you could only get this kind of data from an indoor bike with integrated software. Now, thanks to the new algorithm, all you need is a smartphone.
The algorithm is the work of Motosumo’s tech team, a mo
The revolutionary group fitness app has partnered up with Viva Gym, a fitness chain with studios in seven locations around the country.
After a successful trial run with 120 members at their Sunningdale studio, near Cape Town, Viva is now rolling out Motosumo in Walmer, Port Elizabeth, with plans to implement it across their entire nationwide chain by the end of 2020.

CEO and co-founder, Kresten Juel Jensen, looks back over 2019 and predicts what the new year has in store for Motosumo.
Motosumo, the cutting-edge group fitness app, has announced a partnership with Genae Fitness Club. The French fitness chain is one of the country’s leaders in group fitness, with over 5,000 members and a thriving indoor cycling community.
For years Genae has been making a name for itself as an innovator in the industry. “On several occasions we’ve been the first operator to embrace new technolo
338 gyms participated in #TrainForTrees, a week-long drive to raise money for #TeamTrees and the Arbor Day Foundation.
The concept was simple. For every 2,000kcals burned using the Motosumo app, we vowed to plant a tree. We were blown away by the response. Over 4,000 users from all over the world joined forces to turn their group fitness workouts into real-life, oxygen-pumping trees.

Revolutionary group fitness app Motosumo is thrilled to announce the appointment of its new chairman of the board, Nick Coutts. Nick will replace his predecessor, Nana Bule, CEO of Microsoft Denmark, who has been on the board since 2016.
“Naturally, we’re sad to see Nana leave,” said Motosumo CEO, Kresten Juel Jensen. “She has been a crucial part of our growth and success. Under her direction,
From 23 November to 1 December, competing gyms using the Motosumo group fitness app will have their calories converted into real-life trees planted by the Arbor Day Foundation.
Trees are pretty remarkable. And some scientists believe they could be a major weapon in the fight against global warming. Not only do they absorb CO2 and pump out oxygen, they also provide habitats for wildlife, minimiz
Motosumo, the revolutionary group fitness app, has just released a long-awaited Strava integration. Motosumo users now can send data from their indoor cycling classes or group fitness workouts straight to Strava. Great news for anyone who loves sharing and visualizing fitness data, comparing stats, and getting kudos and comments from their friends and family.
The new integration is the solution
Motosumo partners up with Spinning Center Gym, the first company to pioneer indoor cycling in Colombia.
There’s nothing new about exercising in a group. And yet, group training consistently tops lists for hottest new trends in the industry.
Which begs the question: Why?
Maybe because we’re getting better at studying the positive effects. Recent studies have confirmed what our ancestors already knew: exercising with other people is really good for you. Better, in fact, than exercising by yours
Medley, Sweden's largest privately owned operator of municipal swimming pools and fitness centers, has announced that they will be using Motosumo for group fitness activities in 10 locations around the country.
Medley has been looking for a solution like Motosumo for some time. They have a unique problem: 17 gyms around the country, all with different equipment. Each gym offering an extensive
Gym members are more likely to cancel their memberships if they feel like they're not making progress, having fun, or meeting new friends. Gamification could be the solution.
A one-app strategy sounds like an easy solution. Particularly for fitness operators. A simple case of getting all of your members using one app, for every possible service. Perfect. Except that it’s not. In fact, a one-app strategy can be counter-productive. And in the long run, can hurt your business.
COPENHAGEN/LONDON, 28 February, 2019
Heart rate monitoring is becoming increasingly popular as a motivational tool in gyms, but it can be expensive for operators to implement. Meanwhile, for members, many systems are quite restrictive; even if they have a heart rate monitoring device of their own, it might not be compatible with their gym’s set-up.
This was the rationale for the launch of W
