Hyperborea

Compatible Machines

Hyperborea works with iFit-based fitness equipment manufactured by ICON Fitness. If your machine has an Android-based touchscreen console and your fitness app supports BLE FTMS, they should work together.

Compatibility

Your machine is compatible with Hyperborea if it meets all of the following:

  • iFit-based — manufactured by ICON Fitness / iFit
  • Android touchscreen console — not a basic LCD display
  • Android 7.1 (API 25) or higher
  • USB Host support — present on all known touchscreen consoles

Hyperborea's built-in catalog includes 270+ machine models across all supported brands and equipment types. The app uses a fully generic architecture with no model-specific code, so any machine meeting the criteria above should work.

Supported Brands

All of these brands fall under the ICON Fitness / iFit umbrella:

  • NordicTrack
  • ProForm
  • FreeMotion
  • Gold's Gym
  • Weslo
  • Schwinn

Equipment Types

Bikes, treadmills, rowers, and ellipticals are all supported. Hyperborea adapts its FTMS broadcast based on the equipment type, not the specific model.

Tested On

Hyperborea has been tested on the NordicTrack S22i. Because the app is fully generic and data-driven, other compatible machines are expected to work the same way.

How Detection Works

During setup, Hyperborea automatically identifies your machine and configures itself accordingly. If your specific model isn't in the built-in catalog, it falls back to sensible defaults for your equipment type. You can also manually adjust device settings if needed.

Other Brands

Hyperborea currently only supports iFit-based equipment. Other brands such as Peloton, Bowflex, and Echelon use different hardware and software, so they are not yet supported.

Support for additional brands is something we'd like to add, but we need hands-on access to a machine in order to develop and test against it. If you'd like to see your brand supported, let us know on Discord — especially if you're willing to help with testing.
