Bowflex JRNY is an easy-to-use, fitness-focused artificial intelligence app that shortens the distance between you and your goals by learning from your abilities and then adapting with a personalized experience.

It's available on Bowflex 7 , 10 and 22 treadmills, as well as the first indoor bikes with lean-to functionality - the Bowflex VeloCore 16" and 22" . Max Trainer M6 and M8 cardio machines run the JRNY app in conjunction with their Max Trainer® app, which shares several features. All of these machines offer connectivity via Bluetooth® technology and/or Wi-Fi, allowing you to make adjustments and track and review your progress on a provided touchscreen or through your own smart device. 

You can purchase JRNY as a free or subscription service. The free version is a strong start, but the subscription service offers the full JRNY experience - making it an excellent value for anyone serious about creating a workout program worth keeping. It keeps users right on track with where they are in relation to their goals. Bowflex offers free trials of the full service so you can get a feel for what's possible.

Free service

You don't need a subscription to use the JRNY app. The free version offers a range of features to keep you motivated, on track for success, and celebrating your milestones, achievements, and personal bests. These include access to free workouts, free videos, journal and awards. For example, on the M6 and M8 Max trainers, you can access your initial fitness score, Max 7-minute, 14-minute and 21-minute intervals, manual workouts and any workouts that come with free videos. You can track time, calories burned, and other metrics to the invigorating rhythms of Bowflex Radio - or stream other music apps like Pandora and Spotify.
As great as that sounds (and it is great), JRNY has so much more to offer, and you can unlock it all with a monthly or annual subscription.

Subscription service (AKA the JRNY Experience)

The big difference between the free and subscription service is the quantum leap you make in personalized tracking and workout customization. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced exerciser, the subscription service offers:

• A comprehensive analysis of your current fitness abilities
• Customized workouts in a variety of formats
• Careful tracking of your progress
• Intuitive workout adjustments to keep the shortest distance between you and your goals - weight loss, increased endurance, strength building, or any combination thereof.

Your workout options are updated daily to enable your best progress and eliminate the plateaus that can quickly make a self-paced workout program obsolete.

Functions of the subscription service

• Dynamic Coaching - This informative, encouraging direct contact feature coaches and motivates you through personalized workouts with graphic, voice and audio effects. Bowflex cleverly uses visible but unobtrusive graphics to alert you when you're within the prescribed calorie burn range - along with other important information like time, heart rate, and more. You'll also hear audible cues like bells to tell you when to pick up the pace or cool down. - PLUS the friendly, encouraging voice of your virtual trainer challenging you to push through and cheering you on as you reach milestones in your workout. Separate audio track controls allow you to mix your voice, SFX and music to your individual taste.
• Customized Workouts - You'll receive unique, personalized workouts tailored to your fitness level based on a constantly updated analysis of your performance. Once you complete your initial fitness assessment, JRNY will publish your first recommended personalized workouts. On the home page, there is a time slider that allows you to change the length of a workout. If you want to adjust the intensity of your exercise, you can select "easier" or "harder" (or just stick with "recommended"). This will change the target burn rate for a workout. Your performance will inform JRNY how to best adapt to your current fitness level, determine what you want your next session to achieve, and offer new, customized workouts to help you reach that goal. You'll receive a new workout every 12 hours or as soon as you complete a recommended workout.Your old workouts will disappear as new ones are issued to keep you on track to keep improving. You can't repeat old workouts, but you can retest to get started again at the right point.
• Trainer-led workout videos. Bowflex has a new version of trainer-led videos. High pressure is out. Dedicated encouragement is the name of the game. The company's dedicated friendly but knowledgeable experts that you enjoy spending time with because every moment counts. Although they share these traits, this is a heterogeneous group, with each trainer bringing his or her unique qualities to his or her session. You can choose your favorites, and JRNY will remember your preferences as your new custom workouts are selected from an ever-growing library of trainer-led videos.
• Explore the world. You also have the option to take your workout anywhere in the world through the Explore the World™ app. This virtual experience allows you to transport your Bowflex workout to exotic global trails based on your device. Destinations include the Swiss Alps, the Scottish Highlands, or the Côte d'Azur
• Bowflex Radio. Nothing boosts your workout like the right music. Bowflex Radio offers your choice of real hits played by the artists who made them famous in 10 great formats - pop, rock/alternative, top 40, hip hop/rap, EDM/dance, country, 90s, 80s, international pop or international EDM. It adds to the enjoyment of your Explore the World adventures and allows you to choose which songs accompany your instructor-led workouts.
• Access popular streaming services. If you subscribe to popular entertainment streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and Disney, most JRNY-enabled devices can display them on your screen. Access is also available on the Max Trainer M9, which will soon be available from Flaman Fitness. It's a great way to keep up with your favorite shows or watch exciting new movies without losing valuable workout time on the couch. Make sure they're synced properly with your computer so you can jump on and enjoy.
