Just recently got started with Zwift. I was quite hesitant at first, mostly because I didn't know exactly what I needed to set it up and get it to work, but it turned out to be pretty easy. And the fact that you can try and ride a climb like Alpe d'huez was a big motivator.
Thanks Manon....I wish I’d known these tips and tricks before I signed up 8 weeks ago....Still my FTP has almost doubled using the 4 week FTP Builder and (4 weeks into) 10 week FTP Builder...I started by not being able to finish the training session, now it’s rare that I don’t finish....Keep the great videos coming Manon & GCN Team
Perfect video to get started on Zwift. Great overview of all the basics you need to know, very well explained. Also, the length of the video was perfect. Great job Manon and GCN.
Perfect timing for me. Just started on Zwift this week! Thanks for the tips 😊 I just need to know how to stop myself from setting off full gas with all those other cyclists to chase down! I must learn to ignore ‘Close the gap!’ Great fun though! I did a few ‘crossover’ sessions using GCN training sessions while riding in the Zwift world. I could concentrate on what Hank was telling me to do, so I was less inclined to chase down everyone! Lol! It’s all good fun, but my legs are feeling it!
Thank you Manon, this was really helpful. I joined the Zwift family today after my Wattbike arrived. Loving it so far but I think I need full-on airconditioning!
Well explained although I missed a budget price level for the different options and more exactly which packages go together. Also, if it's possible to get started with the trainer and a laptop and then build on top of that later on
I've been trying to buy a Wahoo Kickr Core since October,LBS.Wahoo UK Wiggle,Sigma,Wheelbase all out of stock, Looks like I'll be out on the 'Gravel bike' again,when the ice has thawed out.. #Keepin it real...
Starting to think about getting one of these for next winter. Looks like the graphics could use some solid work, but as far as a whole experience, looks pretty nifty.
Zwift looks like it's fun and could be a useful off season training tool. Not sure why so many are angry about this video. Jealous? I am just a bit. I'd like to have a trainer like that and it's not a new concept. People have been using trainers for years.
A regular trainer stand combined with the speed sensor is all you need to use Zwift. The only downside is that the resistance you feel on the bike will not adjust automatically based on the elevation you're riding on in the game (like a smart trainer would). But it will still allow you to measure your power, speed, and interact with the rest of the virtual riders.
Yes, all the communication will be processing via Zwift Companion, an app you have to download separately. Then, there's a message center. You can text from there. Ride on;-)
I’m interested because I’d like to virtually connect my 8years old to his grand father’s, who are in two different continents. Grandpa train to stay in shape, and my son loves to bike. Please let me know if zwift is the right app for this
how do you get your phone/ tablet to show on the tv? if the smart trainer is using the bluetooth of the device how can one then project that device display to a big screen? Can a laptop be used with zwift while the phone/tablet is connected via bluetooth to trainer?
If I'm riding in Watopia, and I see someone in GCN kit at the side of the road, and it says M. Lloyd...I'm stopping to assist. If it says D. Lloyd, and I have a shot at a KOM, I'll call someone (Hank) on my cell to come and assist. :)
Delivery takes longer because of corona , i ordered somme brake levers in early march but they arived in mid may , considering it usualy took 4-5 days normaly
Zwift basically calculates your speed by combining cda from your bike, wheels and rider height with the power to weight ratio you are putting out. Different frames and wheels will alter your in game speed slightly depending on the course
How this works if you suddenly go uphill in the virtual race, I imagine that ideally application should automatically send information to your bike to increase resistance, but I guess it doesnt work like that? Can someone explain? Thanks!
Brilliant vid Manon. I have a basic set up just to keep fit in the winter. I don't race etc, but try and do 12 miles each night. Love it. Your vid included all users rather than people with smart trainers. Good stuff. 👍
Im having issues getting my cadence sensor connected properly... either it doesn't provide a reading, provide "infinite" numbers or connects eventually and provide accurate readings... any suggestions?
Can I please ask you to clarify the following?: If I have a smart trainer like Wahoo Kckr 2 or 3 or 4, and a swift account / subscription and a smart TV, can I play swift (and my ride) directly through my smart TV? Or do I have to play it through Apple TV? If I have to go through Apple Tv, do I need the Apple TV box even if I have Apple TV installed as an app on my smart TV...?
I can get my home trainer to connect to Kinomap and MyHomefit but it does not connect to Zwift .... it is an i-Console+0056 system. anyone have any tips ??
But is it so expensive I would love to do it but just can’t afford £13 a month for only maybe once or twice a week it there a cheaper way to get on it or a cheaper app that does the same, or just go out on the bikes ? Please help thanks 😊
I just started using this app. I am still in the trial period and I am very confused. This video helped thank you. I have a question for you if you don't mind, where the numbers are saved? Every time I go in the cadence and speed sensor reads cero. Does any numbers get saved if you walk away in the middle of a race? I am still in the trial period and I am very confused. This video helped a bit.
There are trainers that do not have bluetooth posibility to connect to zwift game, is there any way to connect it to a zwift game ? How can classic trainer know that there is uphill or downhill in the game ?
There're few hardwares, as well as the function capabilities you have to check first. 1) if you could download and run Zwift in your LG TV? 2) if your LG TV has Bluetooth function, and/or available USB port? 3) if you have ANT+ receiver. Just in case your Bluetooth failed connection. But this is not a must. 4) if you have running pod. Such as Stryd running pod, Garmin running pod, etc. You need any of these to attach with your running shoes. 5) if you have treadmill. Any brand would be ok if you have running pod. If not, you have to pay more money to buy the Zwift compatible treadmill which have the internal function in them already. If you checked all of above five items, good to run with Zwift. Remember to swtich into Run Mode;-) Ride on;-)

Yeah !

Thanks Manon. Just did my first ride on zwift today and this was helpful.
Great stuff 🙌 It's such a good training tool!
You are most likely the only one who can explain to the point that I actually understand 🙏
I got a trainer for Christmas and am very excited to use Zwift to get back into shape
I love how tactful Manon is when she refers to a smart trainer vs a "classic" trainer instead of a smart trainer vs a dumb trainer.
Perfect video to get started on Zwift. Great overview of all the basics you need to know, very well explained. Also, the length of the video was perfect. Great job Manon and GCN.
Why do I love everything about Manon ?
I love GCN's just there in the comment section like, what else company that's big, does something like that.
I just bloody like that!

You should look up zwift a beginners guide by photogenic. Very informative.
@@MrIanD1 thanks IanD. Will do!
I've just started zwifting and so far I'm enjoying it only problem I'm having is setting up my trainer as controllable
I don't even use Zwift but i still watched the upload because MANON :)
Strange my Sensors has more problems with bluetooth.
On ant+ the problems are gone.
Both are sending on 2.4ghz but ant+ is better
I find Ant+ more stable also.
You will find this very helpful - great coverage of all things to get you started, well explained by Manon. Thanks, team 😊
Been Zwifting for 2 and a half years... why am I watching this? 👀
Because of Manon?
@@Mr1986marek I like Manon, but I started watching GCN for Matt Stephens getting pizza slices from Dan's back while riding a bike.
Manon!
@@AlejandroMallea Haven't seen that one, thanks for a tip :)
@@Mr1986marek It's a classic video. Search for "GCN what not to eat"
Personally, I've found Ant+ much more reliable than Bluetooth. You just have to make sure the sensors are close.
this can be the case for a lot of users, particularly if other bluetooth devices are being used in the same place as a bit of interference can occur
@@gcn if we going further to powermeters, allways set up in Ant + to see ALL the data that you dont understand :P
@@gcn Truely.
I have to switch using iPad for Zwifting, due to its more stable performance.
Thank you Manon, this was really helpful. I joined the Zwift family today after my Wattbike arrived. Loving it so far but I think I need full-on airconditioning!
I can listen to you all day!
"four horsemen" route for your first meetup :D excellent choice :D :D :D
Now you do this, I've been zwifting since 2016. Maybe heather fell can do the Zwift running tutorial on GTN.
Now I need a video on how I get off the couch get my kit on and go down to the basement and actually use my Zwift setup
Well explained although I missed a budget price level for the different options and more exactly which packages go together. Also, if it's possible to get started with the trainer and a laptop and then build on top of that later on
Thought the exact same thing...

I really want that Zwift specific espresso maker you have there Miss Lloyd

I like to hear manon on tips about cycling and I hope. Manon you and all the guys at GCN had a nice Christmas 🎄⛄🎁
What a time to be alive
Thanks for this. Bought a second hand bike today to get started with improving sone cardiovascular conditioning. 😅
6 months into Zwift but I learnt some stuff anyway, thanks!

Newbie here! Who could tell me if using a regular trainer stand, +wahoo speed sensor would be enough to enjoy Zwift.
A regular trainer stand combined with the speed sensor is all you need to use Zwift. The only downside is that the resistance you feel on the bike will not adjust automatically based on the elevation you're riding on in the game (like a smart trainer would). But it will still allow you to measure your power, speed, and interact with the rest of the virtual riders.
My kICKR snap arrived today , done 11 miles with some hills..... needed to watch this video first.....the hills killed me....
This timing is great for me.
Can't wait to try that with my E Bike!!
This lady is absolutely gorgous. The swift is decent too :)
This will fit nicely with the other 5 or 6 how to zwift gcn vids.
Gotta make the dough and we pay for it via Zwift :)
Always my favorite presenter
Very nice presentation.
Would love to give this a go but am on a really tight budget, so what is the most affordable set-up, rollers and a power meter? Thanks
A wheel-on smart trainer (e.g. Wahoo Kickr Snap) is usually more budget friendly, and you won't need a separate power meter.
A discussion of the pull up icons at the bottom of screen showing camera location and sound? The crowd, or music or? Thanks
No mention of the key bit. How do you connect to your TV?
Hmmm, how can you communicate with other riders during riding,? So sorry I'm a male and only can do one thing at a time
In game messaging is available. Hit Control M, or "Messaging" in the companion app. Aften a group will use a 3rd party app called discord.
Often the messages in game go by too fast for me, but if you have the companion app on your phone its easy to follow conversations and reply
Yes, all the communication will be processing via Zwift Companion, an app you have to download separately. Then, there's a message center. You can text from there. Ride on;-)
Lockdown been here for 99% of the year and this vid has only just dropped?😂 No free promo in this world aye
Very helpful but what do the different coloured fluroescent bikes represent?
Anyone else too distracted by that fancy espresso machine and have to restart part of this video? Where are my fellow caffeine addicts at? Lol
Weirdest time to post a video but I'm still watching it
Must be an accident, but ah well! Inspiration to repair my trainer and get going!
I may have missed it but are you able to talk to other riders similar to online gaming?
Zwift helped me lose weight 😍

I have a stupid question, how do I correalate my resistance on a Schwin IC4 with the inclination differences on a Swift Course ?? ty in advance ...
Awesome - many thanks.
Great tutorial thanks
how do I use it outdoor tho
I'm in love with this babe ❤️
Manon, GCN love the video, massive thumbs up.
What training plan would you recommend for an unfit fat lad at the back rider who wants to get better?
One that suits me too
FTP Builder then Build Me Up. Some weeks you may feel like you have extra energy left, so do a Crit race for some extra fun.
#GCN Only on level 6 and just starting out on Zwift. I am 100% hooked! Thank you for getting me started.
@3:11....Why does Zwift care if a bike is aero? If Zwift cares so much about aero, how do they track the “aeroness” of your position?
Zwift basically calculates your speed by combining cda from your bike, wheels and rider height with the power to weight ratio you are putting out. Different frames and wheels will alter your in game speed slightly depending on the course
is Zwift on a console system such as xbox or playstation, looking at getting a wahoo kickr and getting onto zwift ?
How this works if you suddenly go uphill in the virtual race, I imagine that ideally application should automatically send information to your bike to increase resistance, but I guess it doesnt work like that? Can someone explain? Thanks!

can I use awift when I live in central america El Salvador
As long as you have reliable internet...yes.
Zwifting on rollers is the best :D
Need to add use a good fan and epic playlist and wireless headphones
I use an echo Dot for sounds and turning fans on and off. And message my wife to bring more water... theoretically
It is nice to see the crank in 1:20 with scratches on the crankarm. A bike that is being used instead of a showpiece bike.
how do they determine your weight? or can you just type in anything you want
You type in anything. But if your wattage per kilo is looking suspicious you may get kicked.
how do I learn more about the levels in Zwift ?
Very nice! I would have appreciated if the video was released before I join zwift 😂😂
