GEMRetro & Woodway

I recently purchased the GEMRetro module for my Woodway treadmill, and I am extremely impressed with both the ease of installation and the integration with Zwift.

The GEMRetro module is a small device that plugs into the safe port on your treadmill. Once installed, it allows you to connect your treadmill to Zwift and other cycling and running apps. The installation process is very simple and straightforward, and the GEMRetro module comes with all of the necessary hardware and instructions.

Once the GEMRetro module is installed, connecting to Zwift is a breeze. Simply open Zwift, select your treadmill, and start pedaling or running. Zwift will automatically calibrate your treadmill and start tracking your speed, distance, and elevation gain.

I have been using the GEMRetro module with Zwift for several weeks now, and I have been very happy with the performance. The connection is always stable and reliable, and my speed and distance data are accurate. I have also found that the GEMRetro module makes it much easier to control my treadmill from Zwift.

Overall, I am very impressed with the GEMRetro module. It is a great way to add ANT+ connectivity to your Woodway treadmill and integrate it with Zwift and other cycling and running apps. I highly recommend the GEMRetro module to anyone looking for a reliable and easy-to-use way to connect their treadmill to Zwift.

I purchased the GEM to use on my Life Fitness Club Treadmill with a safe port. I connect it to zwift run. Compared to all the other others, the gem is flawless! Never need to worry about power, warmup, accuracy compared to treadmill
speed, etc. It just works!! I feel sorry for the folks who spend tons of money on a home treadmill with a fancy display. They could have spent less and got a gym quality treadmill like the LF club and connected the GEM and be off and
running.

I loved the module so much, I have now purchased 4 of them to install into the safe port on my 4 life fitness club treadmills. This is the only way to use with zwift since it provides a100% stable never have to think about it interface!!!
