Not quite there - Beta maybe?
Concept is good, very unpolished at the time or reviewing. Despite all my data being imported from Garmin, the platform is advising I have had 6 months off which isn’t the case. On challenging the app, the AI is apologetic but still getting things wrong, seems like a typical AI integration that needs constant re-prompting until you get something you are happy with.
Bigger red flag was after connecting Strava, a message was received stating that the app had exceeded its limit of connected athletes, which isn’t a great first impression, especially for an app that is built around data integration.
Decent potential but other platform such as trainer road are miles ahead. I will revisit this due to the developer, was hoping for more but disappointed with the current release.

Response from developer
Hi there, We're sorry to hear this. It sounds like your Garmin connection didn't quite pull across all your data and that's not usually the case, so something is up. We take this kind of thing very seriously so do get in touch with our live support, we'll make sure you can setup correctly and get you on your way! AI is only as good as the data, and you need that foundation setup Unfortunately we did hit Strava limits due to our recent popularity, we've asked for more users and we're working with them to resolve. Hope to hear from you soon and we'll get you sorted Alex
The best!
I have used all the training apps and this is the best. Cycling for almost two decades and this is holistically the best to serve the athlete and give the data you need without too much. It's use of AI is the cherry on top that separates it from the rest!
My daily coach
I use Stride as my daily training coach and it’s quickly become one of the most useful fitness apps I’ve used. The AI makes planning both my gym sessions and cycling workouts incredibly easy - very decent.
One of the best features is how well it integrates with Zwift, which makes cycling sessions seamless. The app is also very simple and intuitive to use - just a clean way to plan and execute training.
Developers are open to feedback and actively improving the app. Being able to suggest ideas and see the app evolve makes it feel like a real training partner.
Highly recommend for anyone who wants structured training without the hassle of building plans themselves.

I will preface this by saying that I am coming back to cycling after a long absence due to balancing running two full time businesses & family life with the ambitions of racing once again & being able to hold my own with friends around the Yorkshire dales.
I have previously used traditional cycling coaches, TrainingPeaks, TrainerRoad in anger & before settling on stride also trialled other AI based coaching apps, but this is the app I wished I had ten years ago.
One thing I always struggled with traditional coaches was if I missed a session getting the plan adjusted, whereas with Stride, it’s a two minute conversation with the AI & all sorted, meaning even as an autistic person, it really does help not feeling like I’ve ruined all of the progress made by life getting in the way once or twice. Previously I’d have ended up stopping training entirely until the coach eventually relented and reset the plan, meaning progress wasn’t as linear as it should have been.
The app auto-adjusts metrics depending on how you’re doing so potentially you never have to do any metric testing (FTP etc) unless you really want to & the training sessions are built by both ex-pros and really highly regarded coaches so you know you’re getting set sessions that are both beneficial and maximising your availability.
On top of all this, their technical support goes above and beyond - I had an issue out of hours where for some reason my account wasn’t working with the integration to Zwift/Wahoo not auto populating training sessions, I dropped them a message not expecting a fix until the next day and knowing I could manually export/import like you had to back in the day, but they got back to me and sorted within the hour!
