Garmin Launches Fit App and ANT+ Adapter for iPhone

Garmin has announced Fit, a new fitness app that lets users track speed, pace, distance, time, calories and other metrics, as well as its ANT+ adapter for iPhone, which allows users to pair Garmin ANT+ accessories with their Apple smartphone.

Available now through Garmin for $49.99 USD (around 35 EUR), Garmin’s ANT+ adapter for iPhone allows you to monitor and record your heart rate and cadence directly on your phone when paired with optional accessories.

For example, the footpod sensor allows tracking speed, pace, distance and run cadence when training indoors.

According to Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales, “Garmin Fit is the ideal solution for users who are new to the fitness tracking landscape and for those looking to stay totally connected.”

“To be able to utilize Garmin’s powerful fitness accessories with the same device that plays music, makes calls and uploads workouts automatically to share and analyze, makes Garmin Fit a must have app.”
