Zwift
Indoor Cycling Made Fun

Zwift is a virtual indoor cycling and running app that connects riders and runners worldwide in a gamified, multiplayer environment. Users can train with structured workout plans, compete in events, and ride alongside friends regardless of physical location. It is compatible with smart trainers and bikes, making high-quality indoor training accessible and engaging.
Users connect a smart trainer or bike to the app, which places their avatar in a virtual world where they can ride with others, follow training plans, and compete in events in real time.
