If it’s the camaraderie of the gym you’re worried about missing, some indoor cycling apps offer group rides and workouts with an in-app chat function so riders can encourage each other.
It gives you all the motivation of having an instructor-led class, with the convenience of being able to jump on the bike and workout from home.
You simply turn up and are guided through step by step. Many platforms offer guided workouts, according to how much time you’ve got to spare. The gamification of various apps has brought indoor training to life.
But virtual cycling apps and training platforms have brought a new social, community element to indoor cycling. If you’re used to the community vibe of the gym, training at home on your own can be quite hard to get your head around.
