Zwift Camp: Baseline is designed to help you benchmark your cycling fitness and optimize your training for the year ahead. Over five weeks, challenge yourself with four fresh workouts tailored with Power Checks to measure your power and set you up for training success. Aim for your best power numbers, see where your fitness stacks up, and how to leverage your power curve for more personalized and effective training sessions.

Keep tabs on your Power Check numbers by visiting the Zwift Camp: Baseline Results page. You can see your progress in the Zwift Camp, know where you are against your 90-day best, and view what’s coming up next.

For those not in the Northern Hemisphere, Zwift Camp: Baseline is here to help you supplement your summer goals!

Registration for Baseline will be automatic upon log-in to Zwift beginning September 15, 2025 at 15:00 UTC. Zwift Camp: Baseline starts on September 15, 2025, at 15:00 UTC and ends on October 19, 2025, at 06:59 UTC.

Zwift Camp: Baseline will have four workouts over five weeks. You can sign up for group workouts or complete any of them on-demand by clicking into the tile. Each workout includes a Power Check that measures your ability to maximize your power curve over standard time intervals:

  • 5-Second Power: measures that neuromuscular snap you need to punch past the pack when it matters most—think finish line kicks!

  • 1-Minute Power: great for gauging your repeatability with high anaerobic power output and holding a max-effort pace.

  • 5-Minute Power: breakaways on climbs are notorious for separating “pretty good” from “great”—see where your VO2 Max stacks up here.

  • 20-Minute Power (FTP): ideal for seeing how your speed and endurance match up—a functional threshold effort that should have you flirting with your limit.

Events will be scheduled to run every hour, including during make-up week:

  • WORKOUT 1 - RED ZONE REPEATS - 5 SECOND POWER: September 15, 2025 @ 16:00 UTC - September 22, 2025 @ 15:00 UTC

  • WORKOUT 2 - POWER PUNCHES - 1 MINUTE POWER : September 22, 2025 @ 15:00 UTC - September 29, 2025 @ 15:00 UTC

  • WORKOUT 3 - CLIMB CONTROL - 5 MINUTE POWER: September 29, 2025 @ 15:00 UTC - October 6, 2025 @ 13:00 UTC

  • WORKOUT 4 - FLAT OUT FAST - 20 MINUTE POWER: October 6, 2025 @ 15:00 UTC - October 13, 2025 @ 13:00 UTC

  • MAKE-UP: ALL WORKOUTS October 13, 2025 @ 15:00 UTC - October 20, 2025 @ 04:00 UTC

Flat Out Fast (Workout 4) is your shot to lock in your best Functional Threshold Power (FTP). Think of your FTP as your ultimate fitness benchmark. It powers personalized workouts, contributes to your Zwift Racing Score, and helps you measure progress all season long. To learn more about FTP, click here.

You will unlock the helmet after completion of one (1/4) workout, cycling shoes after three (3/4) workouts, and the Zwift Baseline kit after all four (4/4) workouts.

In addition to the amazing in-game unlocks, you will have access to the results page, which shows you your best power numbers per workout measured against your 90-day best.

Where and how will this be communicated afterwards?

Hopefully there are no emails this year with crazy results, or failed delivery, that was a fiasco last year!

I’m more interested on how it sounds like they plan to take your results and provide training plans or recommendations for training activity.

5

Well I’m sure that won’t be happening unless you consider the new AI recommendations coming zoon as your coach.

The results page linked upstream is zwift.com/zwift-camp/dashboard

Isn’t this just a better way to get people to put out max efforts using specific power points on the CP curve that zwift use for determining zftp etc?

On a side note zwift has given me a value 3w or 4w less than what is shown in Strava and intervals.icu

8

How do I unregister? I’m not doing this! Is this mandatory or something? I’m only on Zwift to cross train while I recover from a running injury.

9

You don’t need to complete anything, just ignore it

10

I was informed by support that everyone is registered automatically and nobody can un-register

11

I understood you can see results in the companion app, but seems to have vanished or not showing. Where are they ??

12

My launch screen seems to indicate that Baseline doesn’t start until June :anguished_face:

I rode Red Zone Repeats as part of the Zwift Camp Baseline yesterday, and thought it wasn’t showing in the My Achievement badges.
In My Achievements in game, it shows up by itself between France and Paris badges.
Shouldn’t it show up with the rest of the Makuri badges?

I think that will be part of the next two camps scheduled after this first one complete’s.

15

If I do them two or three times, will the best one count?

Last year, only the first attempt was recorded in my results.

16

If people just do the whole thing at Z2 and identical power then it achieves nothing.

I will ignore this (I am sick anyhow) - but it would be nice if we could limit the amount of clutter in the Zwift home screen of events and other things we aren’t interested in. Things like these should have a dismiss option so they can be gone.

Otherwise there is far too much scrolling. I am not the only one suggesting that, others have too.

I can’t get past the initial Baseline splash screen.

Maybe it’s just me, but I struggled to get the right gearing with virtual shifting on the sprint segments of Red Zone Repeats.

Cruising in the ‘recovery’ segments felt like spinning in gear 11 or 12, but at the start of the build up, when it drops out of ERG, it always drops down to 8. If I try to change the gears too quickly, even just up to 12, the trainer just clamps down, so I have raise it up in steps, and by the time I get to the actual sprint segment, I’m not up to where I’d be if I was going for a sprint in a free ride. Looking at my report I was down over 100W from my 90-day best, and I believe that’s because I can’t get the gearing right in the workout.

ok. if you close the “pop up” notification in teh companion app about the baseline camp, there appears NO WAY to find this again within the companion app, so therefore, you cannot view your progress within the companion app again
