Thanks for watching my top 10 indoor cycling video.


Correction: ROUVY no longer offer the ability to run on their platform.

If MyWhoosh is struggling to keep a user base right now, it’s because there are so many bugs in their app. I tried it for a week but, went back to another app for reliability. My training is too important to me to mess around with an app that works well part of the time. I have no doubt it will be great once they’ve worked out the kinks.

Great video, very informative. I use and like Wahoo SYSTM, the scenes and first-person peloton race videos are great, but they really need to up their AI/ adaptive features during a training plan. Currently there is no such feature. It’d be a shame if the only app with real scenery & first-person peloton views does not keep up with innovation and becomes obsolete

I always appreciate your cycling app overview videos, so I get an update on what’s new. However, I would separate the training focused apps (TrainerRoad, SYSTM and Xert) from the other apps. To compare TrainerRoad and Zwift doesn’t make much sense - two different worlds. In fact depending on how my season is going, I switch between training plans from SYSTM, TrainerRoad and Xert. Similar to you I always run in parallel Zwift or Fulgaz (in case I want to check out a route I am planning for my holidays). Thanks 🙏 and Happy New Year 🎉

Awesome review, Tariq. Thank you. The new workout AI generation feature in Xert is a pretty cool feautre in the space, something no other system does. We're adding more capabilities around it as well. It's a key part of an optimized training plan.

Thanks for the comparison(?)/review to these apps. I am just getting back into cycling - or more correctly just "into" as it has been so many years! I am a 75 year old retiree that spent too much time on airplanes and behind laptop screens without much exercise for way too long. I tend to use the trainer differently than most as it is most used in Summer as I live in Florida and it is HOT and HUMID as well as the cycling on roads is really a little sketchy with much traffic and very narrow bike lanes. I currently use Swift as it came with the trainer but will most likely change as the subscription expires. My personal issue on most I have seen is I am not interested in racing or social activities. I am only interested in finding training programs the will help me with weight loss, health and endurance. I only use cycling to get out in nature and with to do some bike packing once my leg strength and aerobics are better. Your overview was insightful and educational and will look forward to seeing more as things progress. Thanks again!

Just invested in a new Tacx neo 2t smart trainier, so I’m new to training apps and this review is excellent for me starting out…Thank you 🙏🏻

[madhavannarayanan]

The avatar on my zwift app stopped moving once I updated the swift app and the wahoo kickr core firmware update. So I will have to try a different App. Thank you for this detailed analysis!

[dave]

I have just purchased a new smart trainer, so I’m new to the virtual training world..this is an excellent review for me…many thanks 🙏🏻

[Ashraf_]

Thanks for best information ever in cycling applications but still Zwift is the most reliable and efficient application I try MyWhoosh I think still needs some work to improve.
Thanks coach I appreciate your efforts ❤

[frncsk]

Thank you Tariq as always for your videos. I have missed that you mention which programs are compatible with ANT+ or not.
For the rest, as always, very clear and concise. Thank you! :)

[nadernayo]

👏👏 .. you are right regarding mywoosh, I tried to download on my not so old laptop and i couldnt do it.. didnt meet requirement, it crashed on my Nokia tablet.. finally i was able to run it on my mobile,

[richcole]

Thanks. Any idea if workouts can be pushed to a wahoo device?

[gujenio]

Hi, thx for the video. How do you export a sesión training from trainerroad to swift? I have both apps, but I consider the TR plan are more effective and zwift more interactive and enjoy.

[boratrilha]

Which of these is it possible to upload gpx to cycle again on an outdoor route? I use Rouvy, but it is complicated to do this 😢

[josemariass]

Fulgaz has a lot of real world riding, really good if you want to be immerse in a real roads around the world 😮

[xxsilviarxx]

As someone who is new to cycling, I find it frustrating to figure out which apps will actually cater to my ignorance. I just watched your video after battling through Wahoo systm and trying to get everything synced up - I was incredibly frustrated at the opaqueness of how to get everything up and running smoothly. Calling it beginner friendly wasn’t my experience. 😅

[RayLee-es]

Hi Tariq. Great video. I was curious how you are able to run TrainerRoad and Zwift concurrently. There are several forums that exist but I would like your take. My smart trainer is the Zwift Hub classic. It has BLE and Ant+. could I run a synced TR program on my 530 edge connected via ANT+ and then connect Zwift to my iPad via BLE but making sure the Hub is controlled by Garmin and not Zwift? you have loads of experience so any input would be appreciated. Cheers and thanks.

[syedhamid]

Thanks for the vid.. very informative. however, I am very surprised that you have made no mention of Garmin Tacx. This must be one of the best virtual riding apps available.

[isaacliyenko]

How do you change the angle of camera in Rouvy?? I have only one
