How does the Activio remote control work?

With the remote control function in Activio, you as an instructor can simplify the management of training sessions. The feature is designed to save time and reduce stress – instead of having to rush to the bike to start your workout, you can do it directly from your mobile phone when you’re ready and on the spot. The remote control gives you a more flexible and stress-free experience as an instructor.
