About this app

RIDE INDOORS, FEEL OUTDOORS
Connect your Tacx™ smart trainer with the Tacx Training app to turn indoor sessions into immersive rides. Tackle steep Alpine and Pyrenean climbs or conquer the cobblestones of Roubaix right from your living room. New routes around the world are added every month.

TRAIN WITH REAL DATA, IN REAL TIME
When paired with a compatible Tacx smart trainer and other accessories, you can see speed, power, cadence, and heart rate data on screen while your trainer resistance auto-adjusts for realistic climbs and descents. Connect with a Tacx Alpine gradient simulator for an even more immersive climbing and descending experience.

INTEGRATE WITH OTHER GARMIN PRODUCTS
When you finish a workout in the app, the data automatically uploads to the Garmin Connect™ app to update performance stats, inform training plan workout recommendations, and more. Your Garmin Connect workouts are automatically synced with the Tacx Training app.

Ratings and reviews

This is what happens when you allow Sales and Marketing to design the Workout feature in the app. The latest version has 90% of the screen real state used to promote a product and 10% with useful training related data. Avg Power, Avg HR, Avg RPM were removed. You can't see the tiny numbers of your workout. Please fix this. Use the screen to have training relevant screen and put your AI generated picture somewhere else. Bring back the Average data and larger numbers.

Most of the useful functions are only available on the paid version. The manual training modes feature a random guy on a trainer as the background instead of the data focused screens that were there before the update. Doesn't seem to be any way to change the background or view. Will probably look for alternatives.

Tacx trainer is good, but the software is buggy. Having successfully trained for almost a year, I have suddenly started facing power drops at the power based workouts. Keeping the cadence (and without changing anything by the app), I feel that the resistance is dropping and power is dropping consequently. I am sure this is a software issue because it appeared just overnight. And I am going to contact support, as you may suggest.
