The TrainingPeaks Store is now open for business, following a partnership between coaching specialist TrainingPeaks and Excel Sports, a leading online retailer located in Boulder, Colorado.
Whether athletes are existing loyal customers or are brand new to TrainingPeaks, they ‘can take advantage of the awesome deals resulting from this partnership.’
Tying up the TrainingPeaks coaching platform with devices…
As an example, endurance athletes can buy a Garmin Edge 500 with a 1-year Premium TrainingPeaks subscription for just US$279, when the Garmin alone retails for US$249. So, athletes can get a US$119 TrainingPeaks subscription for just an extra US$30.
As another example, the Timex Run Trainer 2.0, which retails by itself for US$225, can be purchased with a 1-year Premium TrainingPeaks subscription for only US$235.
As TrainingPeaks points out, ‘You can’t beat that value anywhere else, and many more devices are available including SRM, Quarq, CycleOps, and Wahoo; as well as training books from Hunter Allen and Joe Friel.’
Why retail now?
Since its earliest years, TrainingPeaks has always been ‘device agnostic’. If it was downloadable, the online coaching specialist wanted to make it easy to use a device’s data with TrainingPeaks software.
TrainingPeaks is most powerful when a user has device data; and a device is powerful when it is used with TrainingPeaks. Following the partnership with Excel Sports, TrainingPeaks can now answer the frequently asked question of ‘What device should I buy to track my training?’
Consumers can now choose selected products from multiple brands that are bundled with a Premium TrainingPeaks subscription. It’s the most cost-effective way to purchase a TrainingPeaks subscription, and it makes it easy for customers to get the powerful combination of a world-class tracking device, and a world-class analysis tool.
Each of the products on offer are reputable brands and models, are fully supported by the TrainingPeaks tech-support team and are delivered to the consumer with the confidence and trust that comes from the Excel Sports and TrainingPeaks partnership.
Athletes can ‘Shop with complete assurance knowing that you’ll get a great deal and a great product, from a reliable source. Again, you won’t find these bundles or pricing anywhere else.’
How does it work?
When an athlete purchases a bundled item, a coupon code will be delivered within the purchase confirmation email. This code is instantly redeemable for a 12-month Premium Athlete Edition subscription to TrainingPeaks.com.
The consumer can use the code right away. There is no need to enter any further credit card information or enrol in automatic billing. The athlete may redeem the coupon code for a new subscription, or use it to add time to any existing Premium subscription. The training hardware will be shipped separately by Excel Sports.
As TrainingPeaks points out… ‘From our experience working with athletes and coaches over the years, we know training with technology and getting expert guidance in the form of a training plan or coach will result in huge leaps forward for an athlete’s progress. By purchasing a device bundled with a Premium subscription, you’re making a commitment to get serious – about your training and your results.’
