Works with Fitbit program adds Peloton, Habit, and VR biking VirZoom

LAS VEGAS—The number of third-party apps and services that work with Fitbit devices is vast, and now the company added a couple more partners to its Works with Fitbit program. Fitbit announced that now its trackers can integrate and share information with the personalized nutrition and diet service Habit, the at-home biking system Peloton, and the virtual reality sports company VirZoom.

Habit is a service that tests your body composition and tailors nutrition recommendations and meal plans to meet your goals. Fitbit devices will share weight, body fat, and calorie information with Habit so it can update your personalized food plans. For example, if you want to lose weight but you don't exercise enough daily to achieve this goal, Habit will be able to use Fitbit's information to recommend a lower daily caloric intake with the proper breakdown of carbs, proteins, and fats to meet your goal.

Peloton and VirZoom have similar ways of using Fitbit information. Both can sync their activity data to your Fitbit account, and any completed routines will show up in the Fitbit app as a recorded exercise. You can also use Fitbit devices like the Charge 2 that track heart rate to monitor pulse throughout a workout.
