You may have read the latest PezCyclingNews review of ErgVideo 2.0 (Click here if you haven't!). In it, Stephen Cheung explores all the new features, including the on-line ride design tools, and how complete training plans using ErgVideo sessions can be integrated into your training regime.
We're proud to announce we've reached our next milestone in providing the most motivating, most fun, and most effective training experience for the CompuTrainer platform. We invited world-class coaches to provide their own multi-week development plans based on our exciting library of live-action training and racing sessions. And wow, they really came through for us, and for you! Now you can benefit from their expertise and follow their systematic and proven training methods, using the totally immersive experience that is ErgVideo.
At ErgVideo, we see this as a huge achievement. It's recognition by experts that ErgVideo goes far beyond course re-creations. It provides a complete framework for focused, modern, power-based cycling training, with a motivating and dynamic visual experience second to none. Now you can follow an ErgVideo program from the coach of your choice to achieve your cycling and triathlon ambitions. Let's introduce the first coaches and their programs.
