For best results, complete the 4DP test as your first ride on the Wahoo Systm app which will then tell you which workouts you should focus on in order to improve your weakness and reach your cycling goals. With every workout, Wahoo Systm provides a detailed explanation of the power, cadence, and heart rate targets that you want to hit, all of which you can analyse post-ride in the training calendar. A real added bonus is the off-the-bike sessions included in Wahoo Systm, while you can also track and upload throughout your training plan. Wahoo Systm tracks your training and progress just like Zwift, and you can upload your workout files to other third-party apps after your ride.

Starting at £1,750 / $2,245, the Peloton Bike is the most expensive entry on this list, but it really is all-inclusive with 10 different types of classes to choose from, and live and on-demand workouts led by professional instructors available 24/7. With the Bike, you’ll get access to your personal metrics such as cadence and calories burned, and see yourself on the class leaderboard. The biggest catch with Peloton is that it’s expensive – the Peloton Digital app costs $19.49 per month without the Peloton Bike, or $39 per month with the Peloton Bike.

It is focused on helping you get the most out of yourself while pushing through a tough workout. Peloton is more about you vs you, rather than virtual racing, sprint segments, and experience points. On the Peloton Bike or Peloton Digital (Peloton’s training app), you can track your indoor cycling workouts and compete against yourself and the leaderboard. The high-energy, music-pumping, instructor-led classes of Peloton are like no other.
