Introducing Zwift Companion Fitness Tracker [April 2025]

Also, noticing this doesnt seem to include other virtual rides - Wattbike hub, TPV etc which are all within Garmin.

Im failing to see the value in quite an inaccurate training score\TSS\SP?
Would this not do some users more harm than good if its simply wrong whilst trying to suggest a training status for a user?

you can do two types of activities on Zwift… cycling and running… how on Earth did the developers decide not to include running into the fitness tracker… 50% of the things you can do within the program don’t count? Ludacris!

I had no weekly goals set and it picked time for me. The goals it invented appear to be based on my recent activity levels.

I don’t think it is that smart… my goal was changed from time to distance and it set the distance at 19 miles? I average over 120 miles per week.

As I go back week by week, I find a week that I took off the bike that had a time goal of 6:40. The week after that the goal is 2:00, I rode 11:20. The week after that, goal remains 2:00, I rode 9:48. The week after that, goal remains 2:00, I rode 12:17. The week after that, goal remains 2:00, I rode 7:54. The week after that, goal is 10:20, I rode 10:07. The week after that, goal is 10:00, I rode 5:47. This week I am off the bike again and the goal is 9:00. So it is puzzling but does seem related to my historical hours and is affected by taking a week off.

My weekly goals are all over the place. I think it has set a number based on what was achieved the previous week. I’m guessing that’s just an initial setup until I actually enter a goal myself.

Getting on and pedalling for 2km even when dog sick is a rite of passage that everyone should endure at least once! :laughing:

Our Wahoo partners have just deployed a fix to the Zwift/Wahoo connection flow that some were experiencing over the past several hours. Please let us know if you’re continuing to experience issues.

Many thanks for the email, Ryan. This is very much appreciated.

It works now perfectly and I was able to connect both accounts.

Br,

Yeah I have it set to time goal ok. The problem is that the time I spend warming up before a race in the start pen (this can be approx 45 mins a week) is not counting towards my time goal.

Before this update it did count.

Same. But I didn’t have a weekly goal set because I don’t want one. Forcing it on users who don’t want it is bad UX

FYI, you can warm up outside the start pens and have the distance and time count. There is a trick that when you enter the race pens early, then quit the ride and trash it (don’t save it), return to the home screen and start a new ride to warm up. When you go to join the pens after the warmup you get placed in the same spot you were when originally joining the pen.

Ah, details.
Isn’t there a saying about details?

Having issues with rides showing up on the right days on the fitness tracker. Both outdoors and indoors on zwift. Did an 8 mile ride indoors last night at 10pm that lasted 30mins and it showed up for the next day???

It showed up on zwift activities as the right day/ time too

I tried to see if the newly outdoor activity upload would work bu it dodnt, i removee feoms the companion App the Strava and wahoo and re- added both but nothing was automatically uploaded to Zwift activities…
Anyone with si, ilar issue? Any tips?

Which wahoo app are you using the elemnt or wahoo?

Double check the account email used by whichever shows your irl events is the same that you have used in companion to connect data from.

@Ryy I just did a short test ride and everything seems to be working. My activity is listed in the companion app, and it shows that I received XP for the short ride.

I found it interesting that when clicking/touching the activity in the companion app it opened the detail in the Wahoo app.

Is power data being brought over from the Wahoo app into Zwift, and will the power data be used to calculate things like our zFTP and ZRS?

Is forcing a weekly goal on users who didn’t have/want one before intended behavior with this rollout?
