What Would You Like to See:
I want to set a goal for better recommendations
I want to pull in my outdoor rides and runs
I want to see how my fitness has improved over time
The Smarter the Information, the Better the Recommendation
What sets Next Up apart is its continuous learning to better hone how it personalizes to you. The more information you provide, the smarter and more relevant your recommendations become.
Goals Set the Course
Ready to crush a specific objective? Within the Zwift Companion app, our Fitness Tracker allows you to set specific, measurable goals. Whether you’re aiming for an amount of time on the bike each week, increasing your weekly mileage, or burning a set number of kilojoules, setting this goal acts as a critical piece of information.
Setting Your Goal: Within the Zwift Companion app, look for the “Weekly Goal” box at the top of the screen. Tap the area and a pop-up will appear for you to edit your weekly goal.
How it works: If you set a goal, Next Up will prioritize activities, workouts, and training plans that align with your objective, ensuring every minute you spend on Zwift is productive and moves you closer to your fitness target.
Integrate Your Outdoor Efforts
Your fitness journey doesn’t end when you log out of Zwift. Many Zwifters ride outdoors, and those efforts are crucial to understanding your overall fitness profile. By connecting your Garmin, Hammerhead or Wahoo account to Zwift, you can seamlessly pull in your outdoor rides.
The benefit: Next Up uses this comprehensive view of your training—both indoors and out—to avoid overtraining, suggest appropriate rest, or recommend specific efforts that complement your recent activity.
See Your Success in the Zwift Companion App
As you start leveraging the personalized power of Next Up, you’ll want to see the results of your smart training. The Zwift Companion app isn’t just for setting goals; it also houses all your fitness trends.
By taking advantage of these smart, data-informed recommendations, you can track your progress in the Fitness Tracker, seeing your fitness improve week over week or over a longer period of time.
The Zwift Companion app is the key component to getting the most you can out of Zwift. Start connecting your devices, set a goal, and let Next Up guide you to your best ride yet!
