Guided first-time setup
When you connect equipment TerraFlo hasn't profiled, a guided setup walks through what it supports — you stay at the console, and a treadmill only moves when you start it.
Equipment
TerraFlo is built around Bluetooth FTMS treadmills, smart trainers, and the sensors you train with — and it learns what your exact machine can do during pairing, instead of guessing from the brand.
Brand names help you orient, but exact behavior depends on model, firmware, and what the device exposes during pairing. That's why TerraFlo interrogates equipment when you first connect it — learning which controls it accepts, which signals it sends, and where its limits are — instead of guessing from the name.
When you connect equipment TerraFlo hasn't profiled, a guided setup walks through what it supports — you stay at the console, and a treadmill only moves when you start it.
If your setup is not listed, register for beta and include the brand and model so TerraFlo can prioritize the right compatibility work.
Large-screen workouts are a named setup path because route video, room distance, and readable overlays all matter.
Dedicated sensors win: a chest strap outranks watch heart rate, which outranks equipment-embedded readings — so your best data is what you see.
Apple Watch and Wear OS watches can add live heart rate and workout recording where supported. Garmin, Fitbit, and other trackers are important setup signals for beta planning.
Beta registration asks what you train on so invites can match the equipment being tested first — brand and model make a real difference.
This table highlights beta-priority families and the kind of behavior users can look for. Exact compatibility still depends on model, firmware, and pairing results.

Each priority family has its own page covering pairing behavior, what TerraFlo reads and controls, and what to do if your model doesn't respond.
