Could updates be added to compare how many are in the wait list to how many have been activated in the closed beta? I upgraded to the annual plan as soon as the news rolled out and have been at the edge of my seat since the announcement. Hoping to have a gauge to anticipate if it may be weeks or months until access!! :slight_smile:

Not sure if we’ll ever get the total number who signed up (likely too much strategic info to give away), but the original post does get updated with how many are in the beta (see below). It appears to have remained the same for the past week or so as they are fixing a bunch of bugs in the link the Ivy posted above your post.

Thanks, brotha!

My strategy is to pretend AT doesn’t exist and keep on keeping on the way I was before the big announcement

Excellent advice. I need to actually do the training in my plan before worrying about how a set of technologies in development might change the plan. Think stopping visits to threads with the words “adaptive training” in the title will be my first step.

how many TR usurers are there in total?

That is not a number they share. It’s typical for services like this to not divulge the quantity of paying members.

… unless you’re a publicly traded company like Netflix and use the metric to show investors how well you’re doing (until you’re not).

What ever there body count is I’m sure most of us here are on the very end of the list :slight_smile:

AFAIK, TR = Private, so no #'s for us.

Declined an adaptation just now. Had a really sh*tty day and ended up finishing my VO2max session at midnight. Marked it as very hard and the system clearly thinks I need an easier session next week… but I beg to differ (based on what I just did, I think on a better day I could manage harder).

I may live to regret it…

They have said about how many ‘rides’ they have, so you could probably make some educated guesses of how many active users they have. It would be a very wide range, as these rides include past history synced or uploaded, so whatever you pick as your ‘median number of rides’ per user will greatly affect the estimate you get.
Does anyone recall what the number of rides claimed was?

Around 100 million at the time of the AT podcast, I believe.

Last post from me on this off-topic topic here - 100 million rides, so I would say they have way less than 1 million active users. Thinking a bit more about this, this likely mainly serves to set a cap on estimates of subscribers, as people who no longer subscribe still have rides in the system unless they have asked for them to be deleted. I have 1200ish rides in their system, but I don’t know where that fits compared to the ‘typical’ user. You could also try to back-calculate based on estimated expenses (employees, rent, servers) and look at how many subscribers it takes to support that. I have a feeling that neither of these will be particularly accurate, as the legacy pricing complicates the revenue based estimates.
My guess is somewhere in the (large) ballpark of 100k paying subscribers.

I’ve intrigued about this in the past and guessed 20-40k.
A decent clue is the number of staff employed - as TR has not raised any large external investments, their revenue has to cover the salaries.

TR staff must find our musings hilarious.

I’m not on the beta, but this has been fantastic for my training because I’m finding workouts that tailor exactly what I’m looking for even without AT.

I am sorry, if it is too much to ask, but do you guys know how many people are IN AT already? :slight_smile:
Still patiently waiting in the queue :smiley: Also…I am a numbers guy and I am curious about how many people use TR for 3+ workouts/week as I HOPE that is the number of people I will be waiting for :man_shrugging:
Someone please answer my question :sneezing_face:

**Number of Athletes in the Beta-** 608 (Updated April 14th)

From first post in this thread - TR updates it periodically with a summary of status and known/fixed issues.

So one goofy thing about AT: I ran a custom Kolie Moore FTP test that (theoretically) ends with a ramp up to 15 minutes of VO2 Max. Of course it’s a test to failure so I quit well before that point. But the workout is still classified as level 9.9 VO2 Max. Unfortunately after I completed it, I I answered the survey question about why I bailed early as “time constraint” rather than “intensity”, thinking that would have the least effect on subsequent adaptations. But I was wrong, now my VO2Max is pinned to level to 9.9!

I spoke to support about it, apparently it’s too late to change the survey response and there’s no way to fix these levels behind the scenes. So it looks like I have to just choose easier workouts until it eventually adapts back to norma, I guess?

It would be really nice to go back and see what my prior levels were, or somehow ‘undo’ the level changes or adaptations. Not currently possible in beta, but hopefully an option at some point!
