It has a bunch of generic gym bikes that don't have ANT+/BT but it does have 5 older style Wattbikes (which do ANT) so I was able to do a ramp test (much fat, so little power) and record it all on my Garmin 935 watch. I can also fit a test like that in every week (it's only 15 mins) whilst my daughter has her swimming lesson (as I get kicked out of the pool when her lesson begins).
The gym Wattbikes also have some programmes but I didn't have enough time to play with them and I doubt they'll be good enough - it's a shitty LCD screen so I'd rather go for something at home linked to Trainerroad or Zwift.
So, back to the original question, what are the cheaper smart trainers like Tacx Vortex and Bushido like? Good enough for a Cat 6 numpty who'd like, eventually, to get up to the dizzying heights of 3.5W/kg?
