FTMS Datafields for Garmin

Try Free, Unlock for Full Sessions

You can install and use the FTMS datafields in a free trial mode, limited to the first 10 minutes of each activity. During that time, all features are fully available — including Dynamic Training Profiles and any future enhancements — so you can verify that everything works with your smart trainer.

When you’re ready to remove the time limit, you can unlock the apps via an annual subscription handled securely through Gumroad. Pricing, unlock instructions, and full payment details are on the Purchase & Unlock page.

Prefer a one-time purchase? You can instead choose FTMS All Sync — a single application that supports all fitness machine types in one app, with full Dynamic Training Profile support.

What These Datafields Do

With these FTMS datafield applications, your Garmin device can connect to FTMS-compatible spin bikes, elliptical trainers, rowing machines, stair climbers and steppers, and treadmills. The apps collect power, cadence, speed, incline, resistance, and other supported metrics directly from your smart trainer and record them into the workout activity.

The exact metrics available depend on your specific machine and which parts of the FTMS Bluetooth standard it implements (for example, only some devices support incline control, power targets, or other data fields).
