Your indoor setup will vary depending on whether you'd like to use a smart trainer, a power meter, or VirtualPower™ as your power source. Do you have a free trial? We don't offer a free trial, but we do have a 30 day money-back guarantee.

The main difference between Trainingpeaks and Trainerroad is that TP is best for athletes who want a lot of performance data while working with a coach or functioning as their own coach, while TR is primarily for cyclists who want to ride indoors and want an app to create the training for them.

Since I started structured training with TrainerRoad, I've lost over 20 pounds and improved FTP by 53 watts. I used TrainerRoad to prepare for my first century with 10k+ feet of climbing. It worked flawlessly and gave me the confidence to tackle this accomplishment knowing I had put in the work.

While Zwift offers a virtual world for indoor cycling, TrainerRoad focuses on enhancing cycling performance through AI-driven training. Many Zwift users use both platforms simultaneously, allowing TrainerRoad to control their training regimen while enjoying Zwift's virtual environment.
