Sorry if this has been posted. I asked support about their cycling level descriptions as I did not find a description. Here is their response which was helpful.

To help users determine their level of experience on the JOIN cycling app, you can explain the different levels—Amateur, Intermediate, Advanced, and Pro—by describing how often and how long they cycle, which will then allow JOIN to plan their training accordingly. Here’s a breakdown of each level:
Amateur

  • Cycling Frequency: Occasionally, usually less than 2 times per week.
  • Duration per Ride: Short rides, typically less than 1 hour per session.
  • Description: Amateurs are new to cycling or ride casually. They might use a bike for leisure, commuting, or light exercise without a structured training regimen. JOIN will create beginner-friendly plans that focus on building basic fitness and improving cycling skills gradually.

Intermediate

  • Cycling Frequency: Regularly, about 2 to 4 times per week.
  • Duration per Ride: Moderate rides, usually ranging from 1 to 2 hours per session.
  • Description: Intermediate cyclists have some experience and ride more consistently. They might be looking to improve their fitness or enjoy longer rides on weekends. JOIN will provide structured training plans that help enhance endurance and cycling techniques, with a balance of intensity and recovery.

Advanced

  • Cycling Frequency: Frequently, around 4 to 6 times per week.
  • Duration per Ride: Longer rides, often between 2 to 4 hours per session.
  • Description: Advanced cyclists are dedicated and have a significant amount of experience. They often participate in events or races and are focused on improving performance. JOIN will offer advanced training programs that include interval training, hill work, and other performance-enhancing workouts.

Pro

  • Cycling Frequency: Very frequently, 6 or more times per week.
  • Duration per Ride: Extensive rides, typically 4 hours or more per session.
  • Description: Pro cyclists are highly experienced and often compete at a professional level. They have rigorous training schedules and specific performance goals. JOIN will create highly specialized training plans that include detailed periodization, peak performance strategies, and recovery protocols.

By selecting the appropriate level, users can ensure that JOIN tailors their training program to their current ability and goals, helping them improve efficiently and safely.
