About
Watt Cave turns your smart trainer into a training plan. Connect your trainer over Bluetooth, pick a workout, and the app sets the resistance for you in ERG mode — you just pedal.
WORKOUTS THAT FIT YOU Every workout is set as a percentage of your FTP, so when you get stronger, the whole library scales with you. Find your FTP with the built-in ramp test, or type it in. Over 100 structured sessions — sweet spot, threshold, VO2, strength and cadence, endurance and recovery — all 90 minutes or less, plus a growing library of rides from other riders.
A COACH THAT PLANS YOUR WEEK Tell the coach your goal, how often you can ride and how long, and it plans your week from your actual riding: fresh days get the hard sessions, tired days stay easy, and a ramp test is suggested when your FTP looks out of date. Rate each ride afterwards and the next one adapts. Training for an event? Add it — a one-day race or a multi-day stage ride — and the coach builds you towards it and tapers you in.
RIDE WITH FRIENDS Start a group ride and friends join with one tap. Everyone rides the same workout at their own FTP, with live power, heart rate and cadence for the whole group. Dropped connection? You rejoin where the ride is.
SEE YOUR FITNESS Every ride is saved: power, heart rate, cadence, training load. The fitness dashboard shows your form and fatigue, a calendar of your training, personal bests from 5 seconds to an hour, and milestones as you reach them.
STRAVA Upload your Watt Cave rides to Strava, bring your outdoor rides in so they count towards your training, or both — your choice.
BUILD AND SHARE WORKOUTS Build your own intervals, or import .zwo, .erg and .mrc files. Keep them private, or publish them to the Watt Cave library for every rider.
WORKS WITH Any smart trainer that supports the FTMS Bluetooth standard, including the Wahoo KICKR range, and any Bluetooth heart-rate strap.
One account works on your phone, tablet and computer. Your rides and settings follow you.
Watt Cave is independent and not affiliated with Wahoo Fitness, Zwift, Garmin, Strava or TrainingPeaks.
