In short

What we did

The challenge: connect a treadmill to a live community

A thin treadmill is only as smart as its app. Treadly needed an app that links to the treadmill over Bluetooth, shows steps, miles and calories in real time, and makes a solo walk a shared, live one with friends and groups.

  • Control the treadmill from the phone over Bluetooth
  • Track steps, miles and calories in real time
  • Run live group and one-on-one workouts
  • Keep friends motivated with ranks and awards

The solution: connected control, live workouts, community

  • Connected treadmill control

    The app pairs with the treadmill over Bluetooth: a speed control from 0 to 5 with steps, miles and calories on one dial, and the share of the net calorie goal reached.

  • Live workouts

    A live group walk shows the time left and who is walking, and invited friends join with Yes or No. Walkers can also invite a friend to a one-on-one video workout.

  • Groups by interest

    Browse top groups and groups for you, such as outdoors, yoga or boxing, and keep your own in My Groups.

  • Friends and requests

    Friends and friend requests sit next to groups, with a Friends Ranks board of steps and calories.

  • Profile and awards

    A profile with age, height, steps, awards and groups, and a Follow or Unfollow button.

  • Messages

    Chat with a friend, with the time of each message and photos in the conversation.

Walk

Climb the Friends Ranks

Every walker sees friends ranked by steps and calories, synced from the connected treadmill, so a short walk on a small treadmill still counts.

  • Friends Ranks by steps
  • Calories next to each friend
  • Medals for the top three
