Real‑time metrics & trends
Track power, heart rate, and progress with clear charts to guide your next block.
Recovery built‑in
Deload weeks and flexible scheduling help you adapt without burning out.
Smart trainer compatibility
ErgTrainer is ERG-mode only and works with any smart trainer that supports the Bluetooth Fitness Machine Service (FTMS) protocol.
Fully tested with:
- Wahoo KICKR
- Elite Suito
Most modern Bluetooth FTMS smart trainers from brands such as Wahoo, Elite, Tacx, Saris, JetBlack, and Magene should work out of the box.
If your trainer exposes ERG control over Bluetooth FTMS, ErgTrainer can automatically control resistance to hit each interval target.
Note: If your trainer does not implement Bluetooth FTMS or does not expose ERG control, ErgTrainer will not be able to change resistance automatically. You may still follow workouts manually, but you will not get full ERG-mode behaviour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does ErgTrainer work with my smart trainer?
ErgTrainer supports any smart trainer that implements the Bluetooth Fitness Machine Service (FTMS) protocol and exposes resistance control. We have fully tested ErgTrainer with the Wahoo KICKR and Elite Suito.
Do I need a power meter?
No. If your smart trainer provides power data over Bluetooth FTMS, ErgTrainer will use that for ERG-mode control and workout metrics.
Can I use ErgTrainer with a non-smart ("dumb") trainer?
You can follow the workout structure and targets, but ErgTrainer will not be able to control resistance automatically.
Is ErgTrainer only for indoor cycling?
Yes. ErgTrainer is focused on indoor, ERG-mode smart trainer sessions.
