Ride Director Bridge

Ride Director is live, coach-led indoor cycling you do with other people. A coach starts a class. Riders join by video and everyone follows the same workout at the same time — the same stages, the same cadence targets, the same soundtrack. It's a room, not a video you watch alone. YOUR EFFORT, ON SCREEN Pair an Apple Watch or a Bluetooth chest strap and your heart rate appears live as you ride, coloured by your own training zone. Everyone in the class sees theirs. The moment you stop you get average, peak and time-in-zone, plus the riders you rode with. No sensor? Every part of a class still works — browse, join, ride the workout, chat and get a recap. Heart rate adds to it. Nothing depends on it. CLASSES, WHENEVER YOU RIDE Follow a coach and you'll know the moment they go live. See what's scheduled, RSVP, and get a reminder before it starts. Or start a solo ride any time — the same workouts, on your own clock. REAL WORKOUTS, WRITTEN DOWN Every class is a planned session rather than a freestyle. Stages, durations, cadence ranges and effort targets are set out before you clip in, and the app counts you through each one as it comes. ONE SHARED SOUNDTRACK Connect Apple Music and the class plays the same music for everyone, streamed from your own account. APPLE WATCH The Watch app streams your heart rate straight into the class and records the workout, so your ride lands in Apple Health like any other. ANY BIKE You don't need a smart bike. Any exercise bike works, including a gym one with no electronics at all. If you want cadence, a clip-on sensor fits any bike ever made. YOUR DATA, PLAINLY Your live heart rate is visible in the class because riding together is the point — and you can switch that off in Settings at any time. Resting heart rate, heart rate variability and VO2 max read from Apple Health stay on your device and are never uploaded. Delete your account, and everything with it, from Settings whenever you like.
