What you need
- An Android phone or tablet with Bluetooth enabled
- An FTMS-compatible smart trainer or exercise bike
- Optional: a BLE heart-rate monitor
Wake the trainer before scanning, keep it nearby, and make sure no other app is already trying to control it.
Follow the setup flow
- Set up the rider profile
- Connect the trainer and any optional sensors
- Choose the workout mode
- Review the summary and start the session
FTP is the most important rider value. Age and sex can improve HR-zone estimates, but they do not block trainer setup.
Choose the right mode
- Starter Ride: simplest first guided ride
- FTP Ramp Test: first FTP estimate or a baseline refresh
- AI Workout: generated structured workout from a short prompt
- Import Workout File: ride an existing `.zwo`, `.xml`, or `.ewo` file
- Telemetry-Only Ride: ride without a structured workout
Good first choices
- Easiest first guided session: Starter Ride
- Best first FTP estimate path: FTP Ramp Test
- Easiest first AI prompt:
45-minute easy endurance ride
