Balancing Life and Training

“Like a lot of people I have to balance home life and work with my training; TrainerRoad allows me to do that. It gives me confidence that the training I’m doing will help achieve my cycling goals, in a time-efficient manner. The fact that it uses AI and machine learning to do this blows my mind!”
– Mad-not-mad

With AI-driven personalized training, TrainerRoad allows Mad-not-mad to effectively balance personal responsibilities while confidently pursuing cycling ambitions.

Great Value, Consistent Results

“Been a user for 4 years. Based on time available and budget, paying a coach doesn’t really work for me. AI functionality makes it really easy to structure my training and do well at my goal events. When my consistency is high and I fuel/recover properly, TrainerRoad has made me faster every time.”
– Jack R W

TrainerRoad’s structured plans keep athletes like Stephane motivated and improving consistently, even through challenging seasonal conditions.

Time Savings and Improved Consistency

“As a keen cycling enthusiast without a coach, I previously made my own training plans and spent a lot of time constantly editing/optimizing them. Adaptive training and automatic FTP assessments (no FTP tests!) are both god sends that save precious time and have squeezed so much more juice out of myself than I could have otherwise…I am a 100% better trained and disciplined athlete as a result of TR.” – Chrysos

TrainerRoad’s Adaptive Training and AI FTP detection save valuable training time and energy, significantly enhancing Chrysos’s discipline and overall performance.

Emboldening Ambitious Athletes

“Super effective. Perfect for everyone with little time but a lot of ambition.” – Bewertung

TrainerRoad is designed specifically to help ambitious athletes optimize every minute of their limited training time, delivering significant fitness improvements.

Exceptional App and Customer Care

“I am blown away. The training plans are spot on, and they adapt as you go. The new Master’s option has been great for me (at 52 years old). The ability to (very simply) make the workout available on my Garmin head unit and to make the screen similar to what you are used to in Trainerroad is fantastic… Being able to modify the assigned workout by selecting a slightly different workout based on your parameters (like time) is pretty powerful.

It is so refreshing to see a company like this dedicated to taking care of their customers and providing extremely high value.”
– Yohaan58

TrainerRoad’s responsive features and exceptional customer support help athletes like Yohaan58 continuously adapt and optimize their training.

Rediscovering Speed and Joy

“Long time user, many years of racing, riding. I went through a bit of a depression and significantly increased weight with the resultant loss of interest in riding…Finally, I had enough around the end of October ’24… and got on a Masters program with the purpose of a week in Girona at the end of April. What with life, kids, work, I was less consistent with this training… but I lost 25 lbs and, given the extreme efficiency of the time spent on the trainer/bike…I was prepared to have an absolutely wonderful trip to Girona… All in all, 325 miles of riding in 5 days with 25,000 feet of climbing, all on <8 hours per week training. The Zwift integration is what really allowed me to be consistent… Thank you TR!” – Otoman

TrainerRoad’s plans, features, and seamless Zwift integration kept Otoman engaged and consistent, resulting in significant fitness and enjoyment gains despite limited weekly training hours.

Unmatched Efficiency

“TrainerRoad is by far the most effective form of training I have experienced…never experienced gains in as little time on the bike as I have with TrainerRoad. With job and family responsibilities, effective/efficient training is a must and TrainerRoad knocks it out of the park!” – tballington

Efficient, structured workouts ensure athletes like tballington achieve maximum results despite limited training availability.

Worth Every Penny

“The results speak for themselves… This winter I went from an FTP of 259W to 283W without any extra time (and maybe less)…I have been able to comfortably tackle my longest rides ever, even a 125 mile event with 11,500ft of climbing. Things I love about TrainerRoad:

1. Fatigue detection – I love that TR pulls in your non-TR workouts/rides, takes their training stress into account, and lets you know when you are in danger of over-training. This has made not just training better but life in general. I’m much less likely to be crabby or tired because I haven’t balanced my training properly.

2. Plan builder – gives me the workouts I need to reach my goals and takes the mental load out of training. You don’t have to think about what workout to do, just follow the plan.

3. Adaptive training – If I’m sick, miss a day, or do an extra ride because it sounded too fun to miss, the plan adapts automatically.

4. AI FTP detection – No more ramp tests, unless you like that sort of thing. It has worked well for me and the workouts always seem appropriately difficult.

If you want to get fitter and faster, let TrainerRoad take the guesswork out of it for you.” – TheLongQ

Comprehensive features like Plan Builder, Adaptive Training, and Fatigue Detection consistently deliver significant fitness gains and improved quality of life for athletes like TheLongQ.
