Spivi + Keiser M3i Integration Highlights
Keiser M3i bikes are a fantastic option for integrating with Spivi! The M3i pairs perfectly with Spivi’s real-time performance tracking and gamification.
- Compatibility: Spivi integrates seamlessly with Keiser M3i series bikes. These bikes provide precise data such as power, cadence (RPM), and heart rate, which Spivi displays on its leaderboards and virtual environments.
- Interactive Leaderboards: Spivi can gamify workouts by showing metrics like power output, calories burned, distance, and rank directly on a shared display.
- Customization: Spivi works across multiple bike brands and equipment, so if you also plan to add non-bike classes (e.g., HIIT), you can use Spivi for both seamlessly.
- Integrations: Spivi offers a broader range of CRM integrations, providing flexibility for studios using various management systems.
If you already have Keiser M3i bikes or are planning to invest in them, Spivi would unlock their full potential by adding a layer of tech-driven engagement.

What Operators Are Saying
"Spivi is an important tool in my studio. It helps a lot with the sense of community and also the engagement of my clients. It helps the teachers and clients to measure the effort everyone is doing during the class, which makes the ride much more efficient and motivating for everyone."
