Connecting Your Treadmill

Connecting a treadmill that transmits BLE—sometimes called a smart treadmill—directly to Zwift is a breeze! When you’re ready, launch Zwift and follow these steps:

While we do support a variety of BLE enabled treadmills, not all models on the market are compatible with Zwift. Check out our article for more info on compatible running hardware.

If your computer doesn't have built-in BLE, or you'd rather connect through the Zwift Companion (ZC) app, you can use ZC as a bridge.

  1. In the PAIRED DEVICES screen, select RUN SPEED and select your trainer.
  2. Select CADENCE and then select your trainer.

  3. If you have a Zwift subscription and a Wahoo KICKR RUN, complete these steps to allow your treadmill to adjust your incline automatically:

    Exercise caution when using the incline control feature and be prepared for sudden movements. Always follow your treadmill's safety instructions.

    1. Select CONTROLLABLE and select your trainer.

    2. In the HEADS UP! window, select ALLOW to enable the incline control feature.

      • Select NO if you don't wish to use the incline control feature.

      •  You can turn the incline control feature off or on at any time from the Action Bar or the In-Game Settings.

      You can enable downhill incline control from the In-Game Settings.

  4. Once you're all paired, select OK.

See you on the road.
