Exceptional
I’ve been a user ever since this app was released. I bought it for the cycling workouts and training plans which are great. However, the hidden gem of the app for me is the strength training, mobility, and yoga library of workouts. I’m in my 50s and have accumulated more than my share of injuries over the years (bike crashes, martial arts, knee problems from running). The library of workouts has mitigated the pain, strength, and flexibility impacts of those injuries down to a level I didn’t think was possible. The library doesn’t have CARs exercises specifically (which help with mobility) but I’ve found that I can adapt a number of the movements to make them effective CARs workouts. It sounds melodramatic but in some respects I actually feel 20+ years younger thanks to the app.
The app isn’t perfect, the video playback is buggy as is the calendar. However, the software is regularly updated so I assume/hope they will eventually get around to fixing/modernizing those functions.

What?! Revving V8s for intervals??
Who or what designed this app? Who in their right mind is going to train on a bicycle with V8 engines revving for the start of every interval and screeching squealing tyres for end of each cycle!!? I ride indoors to avoid petrol headed psychopaths, so I don’t want to be retraumatised every ten seconds. Bonkers and bizarre.

App still doesn’t work 😤
Update: followed the link suggested below, didn’t work. Used the chat option which gave the most useless and irrelevant response links to different articles, finally got it to say I’ll be connected to support. Completed my details and received a message saying “give me a moment and I’ll connect you now” that was 15minutes ago. I’ve added another message of “????” But still nothing. Just sums it up.
Argh!! I absolutely loved sufferfest then it changed and had numerous issues so got fed up. I’ve just renewed in the hope the bugs are now ironed out but I can’t even access a workouts. I’ve subscribed and paid, but it’s constantly saying you need to renew subscription 😤, I’ve removed and redownloaded the app, same issue. Love nothing more than being sat on a bike ready to train to then spend the whole time sorting technical issues. Plus the cost is much higher for the privilege!

No Apple Fitness
Without Apple Health as a connected app, this is next to useless for me. I guess I’ll look at Zwift instead
Really good training and great improvements
Thought I should try a training plan and have been using SYSTM for the last 3-4months. Over that time I have improved my FTP by almost 50w and each session is engaging as well as being able to work around you.
Entertaining, great variety of training content - great for starting out
I’m not a pro, racer, of Zwift overlord. I’ve been trying out the various indoor cycling apps, mostly on free trial basis, and I’m one of the few who finds Zwift mostly demotivating - the gamified / SNES feel just doesn’t work for me. Luckily, there are some really good options out there that are different enough to justify using more than one app. I subscribed to SYSTM because what makes it stand out is the variety of the training content - entertaining videos of pros combining training with entertaining tidbits (On Location - great stuff!), to hardcore motivational videos, to just focused workout plans. Add to that the additional workouts for other sports and mental training, which are rounding up this app very nicely. The best part is that a training plan can combine all or none of these, so each session offers something different. Love the possibility to have all this tailored to one’s 4DP training area. What we now need is an ‘on-demand recalculation’ of the training plan, e.g. if I move sessions forward or do more in day, or if I need to sit one out (travel, injury, etc), it would be fantastic if SYSTM recomputes the training plan at the push of a button. A bit of ‘AI’ would be useful here. Big fan so far. Went from KICKR SNAP to CORE in the last 5 years.

Perfect for me
Best trainings for me, complete with strength and yoga. Got me from 3,2 to 4,1 watts/kg in 2 years, at over 50. And its fun!
It’s ok
Having come from Zwift to this platform over a year ago if I’m honest I will be going back to Zwift. Some of the training sessions are really good but once you’ve seen the films and done that session a few times it becomes pretty tedious and boring. Also some of the films I just haven’t found that interesting.
The Wahoo RGT just does not compare with the range of courses on Zwift. Unfortunately they are not long or varied enough in my opinion.
Once my subscription ends I won’t be renewing.
It’s good to have for a year as there are some very good sessions on here but they get old quick.

Apple TV support
Good stuff but really needs Apple TV support to be seamless. Too much time spent every workout getting things set up. Please find someone to make it happen!
Great training on and off the bike
Favourite is the On Location workouts followed by the Pro Rides. Something for everyone from really pushing it to taking it easy.
I enjoy the strength and mobility routines and easy to keep on top of doing them as I can pop them into the calendar with my planned rides.
Video streaming and quality has been flawless - no need to download even for the longer rides.
