Is there a primer somewhere on this specific setup? I used to train alone on Zwift with a 2019 Macbook pro via ANT and a Wahoo Kickr (first generation).
My girlfriend is new to Zwift and we want to train together in the same basement. She has a 2016 MacBook Pro and I want to purchase a standard trainer for her (not a smart trainer) such that we can train together.
What’s the best setup? And how does Zwift handle that kind of training?
My partner and I train together in the garage; she on a wheel on smart and me ona direct drive. Two accounts, two computers works fine. Not exactly the same as you’re trying but similar - the key is the two accounts and as Gerrie said, get the pairing right
my wife and I Zwift together. We went a bit more premium and have 2 Kickr Cores, 2 appleTV’s, 2 TV’s. I have an old specialized road bike on mine, she has a trek marlin mountain bike on hers.
A few initial teething problems with what felt like 100 bluetooths all flying around the room, but now its all synced up its a pain free start up and go.
its a really good experience being able to work out together, even if most of the time we are doing different plans, or I leave her for dust due to being able to produce more power.
couples that zwift together stay together… maybe??? haha
Thanks Phil! What is the exact trainer your wife is on? I have a Kickr but we don’t want to spend too much money on a second trainer. And are your computers connected via ANT? And last, is there a way to train together, on the same circuit, at the same time on Zwift? Thanks!
Thanks Matt. She is a newbie then I wouldn’t go for the “premium” package yet. As for the correlation between mariage duration and Zwift training, let’s hope this is true!!
I’m running a dual setup. One connected to Win10 via ANT+ and the other connected to an iPad using bluetooth.
Both are on the same wlan and 99% of the time the Win10 and iPad remembers the correct pairing when I turn them on, so you shouldn’t really experience any issues.
