Question from a Zwifter: Isn't Trainerroad boring compared to other platforms that add more gamification?

TrainerRoad’s focus is on training and making you a faster cyclist.
They leave any and all entertainment options to you.

Edit to add, here is the official company line related to entertainment.


Hi David, unfortunately that’s not on our road map at the moment. We focus on making cyclists faster, and we haven’t found the video integration or social aspects to be useful toward that goal. That’s why we leave the entertainment up to you! You can use the desktop apps in “minimal” mode and watch any videos you like behind the app, or use any combination of phones, TVs, etc to set up your own entertainment. As far as racing your friends, we think that’s the most fun to do outside on the road - after training on your own it’s fun to surprise them. :wink:


I and many others use TrainerRoad and Zwift together.
