This is a timely video as we head into the winter season, as people discover, rediscover or reconsider their indoor training platforms. For the record, I do agree with your assessment and opinion in the original video. Now, you're going to need to analyze the comments on the comments. :) I recently started exploring Zwift, only because there are more riders and I am curious about the social aspects - i.e., exactly as you mentioned. I am surprised MyWhoosh did not appear as the alternate platforms. I do think the Rouvy ERG/SIM mode strategy makes total sense. And, yes there are recent changes in Rouvy that allow more choice in workout mode (Freestyle mode).
Thanks, Anthony. I'm surprised as well that MyWhoosh wasn't mentioned. It is still early days for that app, so I do think they are going to have massive growth in the next couple years. They have too much money behind them not to. The biggest threat to Zwift's dominance is, of course, MyWhoosh, as both have very similar approaches to indoor training.
I'm still making my vintage computrainer work. I know it can't last forever though, so I appreciate videos like this one to decide what replaces it when the day comes.
I have a friend in the same predicament. He's owned a computrainer for years, but it just won't die. Every year he thinks he'll need to upgrade, but it just lives on!
I'm in the Rouvy camp. I don't use a smart trainer, prefer my quiet, smoove and reliable Kurt Kinetic Road Machine with pro flywheel and 4iii power meter. Rouvy just looks better on a big screen than anything else, always a new route to try.
The quality of the videos just gets better and better. I rode “Liege from Adrimont” yesterday and it was way better than videos produced just a couple years ago. Super sharp resolution and zero rolling shutter.
I love Rouvy
