I trialed Zwift, TrainerRoad, Rouvy, Peloton and several free virtual cycling apps and found The Sufferfest to come out on top. Versatile, easy to use, as challenging as you’d like with the best test I’ve used for power/FTP numbers. Your wallet won’t ‘suffer’ as this is a well designed and motivating app to help you accomplish any goal. It’s not a workout, it’s a culture and a lifestyle. Maybe you can become a Knight of Sufferlandria. I am already stronger, faster, and have better form. I started from scratch at 40 years old, a month ago and I haven’t looked back. All backed by science, experience, and PROOF. Motivational videos, real time feedback, adaptive workouts, progress tracking, achievements, challenges, a great forum, and REAL WORLD CLASS COACHES at your fingertips.
Not only is the investment here a lot less expensive, this app is designed to make you a better cyclist. Backed up by world class coaches, trash your Peloton cart and log on. Pair it with your smart trainer, load up a training plan, and JUST DO WHAT YOU’RE TOLD to get faster, stronger, better, smoother, and more flexible. You want to crush it? You want to go from zero to a real cyclist? You want to slay the asphalt and chew up the tires of your foes? You want to see your improvements and track your performance in 4DP? Throw out your FTP-based training model and use The Sufferfest app. With decades of experience coaching athletes from seasoned pros to weekend warriors, the coaches at Wahoo Sports Science are committed to helping you achieve your goals.

Grounded in cutting-edge sports science and proven by victories in the most prestigious events in the world, SYSTM training plans deliver results. Every training plan is tailored to your fitness level and designed to deliver maximum gains with minimum time.
Add yoga, strength training, and mental training to your plan for truly complete training. Use the SYSTM Training Plan Builder to configure your own easy-to-follow, comprehensive training plan for road, multisport, cyclocross, gravel, mountain biking, and eSports. You’ll work at the exact intensity necessary to get stronger and faster, without wasting a single pedal stroke. Using 4DP®, SYSTM then tailors the power targets in your workouts so you get the most out of the time you have to train. SYSTM uses a comprehensive 4DP® fitness test to calculate your Rider Type, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and measure what you’re capable of across 4 critical performance metrics: Neuromuscular Power (sprint power), Anaerobic Capacity (1-minute power), Maximal Aerobic Power (5-minute power), and FTP (20-minute power). Other training apps set power targets based on a simple percentage of your sustained power (FTP). SYSTM works with most Bluetooth-enabled trainers and fitness devices so you can train to personalized power, heart rate and cadence targets. And if you want to stream your own content while doing a structured workout complete with on-screen instructions, fire up one of the ‘SYSTM NoVid’ sessions. You can even join your favorite Global Cycling Network presenters in the studio for a guided ‘GCN Training’ session that mimics an indoor cycling class.
