Nike and Apple are partnering with major gym equipment manufacturers, including Life Fitness and Precor, to make their cardio equipment Nike + iPod compatible. That means gym members will be able to track workouts by plugging their iPods into the equipped treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes and stair climbers.

At participating gyms, including 24 Hour Fitness nationwide and Virgin Active Health Clubs internationally, members will be able to use the technology to track their workouts and log their data on nikeplus.com. The data converts to "CardioMiles" so exercisers may set goals and participate in challenges with runners and with users of other cardio equipment, and the information also can help personal trainers at gyms.
