The Future of Treadmills with Wahoo Fitness Founder Chip Hawkins

June 17, 2024

Chip Hawkins started his athletic career as a competitive cyclist and triathlete.


While training for events like the Boston Marathon, he became frustrated with the limitations of existing hardware and software for tracking performance data. This spurred him to start Wahoo Fitness, beginning as a hobby project building iPhone-connected sensors.


We discuss Wahoo's journey creating products like the Kickr smart indoor bike trainer and now the KICKR RUN treadmill. Chip talks about designing for his own training needs and bringing innovations like free run mode to treadmills.


He shares the vision behind the simple yet powerful Wahoo ecosystem as they break into new areas of connected fitness.


Whether you're a pro athlete or weekend warrior, you'll be inspired by Chip's passion for bringing a better training experience through smart design.
