Ok. So it’s time for me to get back on the exercise bike.
I’ve been a long time Zwift user but recently been spammed by Rouvy. Thought I’d ask the ozbargain brains trust how it stacks up…
And if it’s decent are there any good promo codes for a first time user?
Depends what engages you - for me the group riding in Zwift is more engaging but I know some others prefer the scenery of Rouvy. Just try it for a month and see - hard to know until you try.
Thanks for the feedback. Gonna give it a go…
I got sick of the price hikes of Zwift and changed to MywooshHD - nothing like a cycling app paid for by saudi oil
Honestly, for a free service i think it's better than zwift - all the perks without the cost. Plus the graphics are far better (and it runs smoother)
Only downside is the community isn't as big. Not that i care - i just roll around at 3.8w/kg in the pacer group. If i raced i'd stick to zwift.
+1 for MyWoosh - it's a blatant copy of Zwift, but Zwift is way too expensive for me as someone who'll only use the trainer once or less a month if rain has set in or something.
Zwift needs to introduce a weekly subscription, or a pay as you play type sub. I guess they'd lose too much money though, as they probably rely on people just being too lazy to cancel or pause their sub when they're not using it.
Nothing against Zwift at all, I just can't justify the cost - as with a lot of cycling related products, it's starting to head in a ridiculous direction.
Ohhh never heard of MyWoosh. That does look interesting…
Also been using mywhoosh
I just chuck on a podcast, listen to music or watch a video.
Depends what you want it for.
Zwift community is second to none. also all the little refinements you will miss if you go from Zwift to Mywhoosh such as the HUD.
If you just train on it anything will work
Zwift, did a training program over lockdown, coach used to send me custom zwift .zwo files for the interval sessions I had to do 6 days a week. Became horribly monotonous and uninspiring but fitness was through the roof at the end
Yeah, I find when I get into Zwift there's nothing better for rapid improvements to my fitness.. but I do lose interest. My brain (and growing belly) now think its time to get back on the bike but shit I didn't remember Zwift being that expensive.
I prefer the video scenery of Rouvy, but the races and group rides in Zwift can be fun. Give Rouvy a shot for a month. See if it's for you.
