The team at Wattbike has introduced Hub+, a premium subscription version of its indoor training app. According to Wattbike the new app offering delivers class-leading workout customisation, deeper integration with third-party apps and exclusive training content.
While the original Wattbike Hub remains free and will still be packed with workouts, plans, Grand Tour climbs, benchmark tests and pedalling effectiveness score technology, Hub+ is available at £7.99 per month or £79.99 annually.
Wattbike Hub+ subscribers will be able to unlock premium features such as the ability to personalise their progression with a mobile-friendly workout builder; custom workouts can be created, shared and exported to Zwift and other third-party training apps. It’s also possible to export workouts created in Hub+ to a bike computer, enabling indoor training outdoors.
Exclusive training content will also be available for Hub+ subscribers for all types of bike rider and fitness enthusiast. Wattbike users will be able to access Hub+ free for 30 days to trial the features.
Workout Builder
This new tool is designed with ease in mind – with simple drag-and-drop segment blocks that uniquely can be configured in-app on a tablet (iOS and Android compatible). There’s also the ability to fine-tune individual targets specific to different training variables such as %FTP, %THR, cadence and HR.
Workout Sharing
This feature gives an ability to share custom workouts with other Hub+ users. Workouts can be shared via the user’s preferred channel (such as WhatsApp, email, SMS, Airdrop) and if the workout is edited after it’s been shared, it’ll automatically update. It also works the other way round: users can receive pre-made workouts from friends, coaches or Wattbike partners.
Workout Export
Workout Export gives users the flexibility to complete their custom workouts on Zwift and other third-party apps, and to export workouts to bike computers to train outdoors.
Exclusive training content
Users can unlock extra training content including training plans, workouts and challenges in addition to the existing free workouts. Wattbike notes that it works with leading athletes and sports scientists to ensure the most up-to-date and innovative research is shared with premium users.
