Virtual Training with Zwift 

What You Need to Have 

  • Indoor Trainer - Zwift pairs with many smart trainers, check on their website. You don’t need a smart trainer to use Zwift! By utilizing a speed and cadence sensor and/or a power meter you can still use Zwift on a classic trainer or rollers. 
  • Computer/Tablet – Grab your computer or tablet to run the Zwift software. Download the Zwift app. *You can also run Zwift on Apple TV but we will not address that here. 
  • Zwift Companion App –Download Zwift Companion from your phone’s app store and follow Bill to be invited to our training rides. (More Menu > Find Zwifters > search “Bill Soloway” > tap the orange icon on the right to follow Bill.)

Zwift Ride Leader Bill Soloway

What You Want to Have 

  • Second Screen - Our Zwift virtual ride leaders will be hosting Zoom video conferences during each ride so you can interact with your fellow riders. 
  • Fan –You’ll be surprised how much you sweat when there’s no airflow. Place a large fan in front of your bike to keep you cool and comfortable while you’re in the saddle. As a bonus, it will also bring you back to some of our windier days out on the FOA course!
  • Towel/Floor Mat- Put something underneath your bike and trainer to catch sweat. 
  • Side Table/Desk –You’ll want a surface on which to keep everything easily accessible. 
  • Heart Rate Monitor – While not necessary for Zwift, an HRM is great for training. We recommend a chest strap HRM, but if you already have a wrist-based activity tracker, you may be able to use that instead. Keep in mind you will need an HRM that transits Bluetooth in order to pair it easily to your computer or tablet.
