Turbo Trainer Advice

Download Trainerroad app, pair the KICKR to phone via Bluetooth, follow plan, yellow jersey?

You also use Zwift with that set up and that gives you some more options if you want to do some 'free rides', events, races etc. Zwift has quite a lot of training plans now as well so I'm sure there would be something suitable. Should say you'll probably get a better experience if you do get some kind of laptop, tablet though.

You don't need a smart trainer but it does let you do the computer game stuff like Zwift, Rouvy etc. Trainerroad is very training-specific and has AI stuff for calculating threshold etc. Not sure if Wahoo Systm is still a thing but it has complementary video stuff like yoga and circuits.

All of them them will work with the Core so I would just trial them and see what works for you.

As with anything fitness related, quality work little and often will get you a long way so pick an UI you think will be sustainable in the long term.

I’d like to buy a smart trainer and find a training plan to get faster/fitter, no specific goal.

I’m looking at buying the Wahoo Kickr Core. I have an iPhone, no laptop or tablet.
Tried watching some YouTube videos on this and I’m a bit lost, any advice is appreciated.

My partner wanted to add turbo training around commuting for some big summer trips.
I first set them up on Zwift, as I thought it was cheapest.
Didn't even see out the free 14 day trial before cancelling.

Assume Zwift spent all the VC money on sponsoring athletes and YouTube adverts.

Maybe some people get a kick from chasing avatars but for us, the interface for training, scheduling, finding workouts and feedback is terrible.

Now paying the extra £2-3 a month for TrainerRoad. Watched them setup an adaptive low volumne plan, super easy. The Progression levels, adaptions and upcoming red light features ontop of the excellent calendar, are just easy and they are just cracking on with getting faster without much faff.

You can make your own mind up easily, Zwift offer 14 days free, traineroad a 30 day money back guarantee if you want to cancel.
