Music selection on coached runs
Could we have the choice to have the coached runs and rides without the music backing track and instead have our own music choice. Thanks
The video content of each coached video is shared with a non-coached video in a non-guided circuit. This means if you would prefer a version without music or without the coaching voice-over, it exists in the platform already.
In fact if you do not want the coaching voice-over, the other version is superior as it can be responsive to your speed in an analog fashion using BitGym’s tracking technology, whereas coached tours are binary — moving or not, because the video has to be synced to the audio.

Seems this problem with the horrible music playing in the background of the coached rides is just being ignored. Please fix or get better taste in music

I am an older woman and the music is really not for me - I hate it! I want to use my own music or coach with naturesounds. A a walk/run in the mountains for me chould be relaxing - but the music is really a pain for me and not at all relaxing.

Yes, This is the only issue I currently have with the app - I love to listen to my own music and love the coached work outs, now just to marry the two seamlessly would be perfect. Have my own music playing while also hearing Just the Coaches voice and not the apps own music. Sometimes this can be the only opportunity I have to myself to listen to my tunes but also need the coach to 'push me' that extra bit. Great Idea, please make it happen!!!

Did you say "mute the coach"? The coaches are great! And the music is chosen for tempo, I think. Perhaps they could offer a genre choice for the coached workouts. But if you want to mute the coach, mute your tablet and use your phone or a portable music device.
I use Amazon Prime music running in the background of the uncoached runs and rides.

Bitgym music in the forefront or the background of my own music spoils this app for me. I love the idea of the app, but we need to be able to mute the coach and the annoying musical interludes. It is the reason I have not purchased yet and only use as free on my iphone
