December 18, 2024

Athletes can now automatically imports workouts form their training platforms and execute them on Velocity while streaming their favorite sports, shows, and movies

December 18, 2024 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Velocity, the innovative indoor cycling app, has unveiled its latest feature, “Stream Mode,” designed to revolutionize how athletes train. Combining advanced training metrics with seamless media streaming, Stream Mode allows users to execute their workouts while enjoying their favorite shows, movies, or sports.

“Ever wished you could crush your intervals while catching up on your favorite show?” This is the question Stream Mode answers, merging training precision with entertainment to enhance the athlete experience.

With Stream Mode, athletes can automatically import workouts from platforms like TrainingPeaks, Final Surge, and Training Tilt, and execute them with real-time metrics, all while streaming content from providers such as Netflix, Hulu, or YouTube. This groundbreaking feature caters to athletes seeking a dual-purpose workout solution—training data and entertainment on a single screen.

How Stream Mode Works:

• Create a free account on Velocity.
• Connect your training platform (e.g., TrainingPeaks, Final Surge).
• Automatically import your workouts into Velocity.
• Execute your workout while streaming your favorite media.

“Athletes often have limited access to devices during workouts. Stream Mode offers a non-intrusive way to get advanced training metrics while enjoying their favorite shows or movies,” said John Nichols, Chief Product Officer at Velocity.

Stream Mode displays essential data—such as power, cadence, heart rate, speed, distance, and workout profile—around the screen’s perimeter, leaving the center open for media content. This ensures athletes can complete their workouts as prescribed while enjoying their favorite media content.

For non-coach-led sessions, Stream Mode offers a compelling alternative to Velocity’s core experience, which typically features live or recorded video guidance from an athlete’s coach. According to Robbie Ventura, CEO of Velocity, “While our primary mission is to support coaches in strengthening their communities, we also recognize the need for an engaging, data-rich platform for athletes completing non-coach-led workouts. Stream Mode bridges that gap.”

Athletes joining Velocity for Stream Mode also gain access to featured live rides and on-demand workouts from a broad group of cycling and triathlon coaching groups on Velocity. The app is available through an extended 45-day free trial, followed by a $4.99 monthly subscription.
