Love it so far, a couple things could make it amazing
Male, age 42. Experienced athlete. I’m using it to prepare for a 70.3 triathlon. So far I really like the detailed swim and run workouts and the ability to add in yoga and strength training. I’ve always struggled to integrate it all together and this app does a great job. For comparison, I used TrainerRoad to prep for a race a couple years ago. It was great for the bike but the run and swim options were a little too simple and not enough. It also did not have any way to add yoga and strength so I never quite figured out a sustainable process. I usually watch shows on TV, but it is nice to have the option to watch the cycling videos. Things to improve: I’d like the ability to build vacations or other days off into the schedule instead of manually adjusting or skipping. Some of the workouts appear on the schedule but can’t be accessed yet. Fortunately it’s easy to find a substitute in the extensive library. It would be nice to have suggested alternatives to the scheduled workout. For example: an option if feeling tired or time crunched would make it a little simpler. I think this works really well if aiming for 1 event. It’s a little less obvious how it will work if I am targeting multiple events, something the TrainerRoad scheduler was good at. Overall I am very pleased and will continue to use it as I prepare!
Decent variety of workouts with one disadvantage
As a woman cyclist who’s not into the gamification aspect of other virtual cycling apps, I really love being a Systm subscriber. However how come such little content seems to include women cyclists? Wahoo, please explore ways to partner with media rights owners who’d allow you to use footage from women’s cycling races. Lotta white dudes on my screen, which is making you all feel a little outdated.
Needs AppleTV app
This is a really great app and ecosystem as all the other reviewers have said. But clearly, the elephant in the paincave is that there is no AppleTV app. Something like SYSTM is made for AppleTV (or is it the other way around?) It’s currently the only thing holding me back from a yearly subscription.
Great cycling fitness
Got the app a few months ago. And have been enjoying suffering through the workouts. The most recent update ( jan 29, 2022) has failed to save and sync my last two workouts. Ended up with workout recovered message and only dat for the first few minutes of the workout. Please help.
iPad Pro support
The Sufferfest worked great on my iPad Pro paired with a Concept2 BikeErg PM5. Super simple. Real time power and cadence via Bluetooth. I like the new SYSTM features but now the iPad Pro connection is very poor. Only average power and cadence which hurts the experience. Do I need to buy a laptop and ANT+ dongle? Support says it might work again someday. I’m not sure if this is really a feature in the backlog or not but I sure do miss the old simplicity.
