Kinetic updates power training app with videos and training plans

Published August 26, 2016

MINNEAPOLIS (BRAIN) — Kinetic has released the next generation of its Kinetic Fit training app.

The new app features professionally designed training plans, hundreds of customized workouts, video streaming and accurate real-time data.

"Kinetic Fit provides the most accurate training data that you can use, track and share, as well as personalized power-training plans designed by professional coaches that deliver more efficient, effective workouts," the company said.

The app connects to a range of Kinetic Smart power trainers, and is also fully compatible with many other trainers and power meters that use Bluetooth Smart technology. The app is available for Apple and Android devices.

Kinetic Fit's new video integration allows subscribers to view video on their device while training, as well as mirror it to a second screen wirelessly via Apple TV, Google Chromecast or an HDMI cable. A new YouTube streaming function enables app subscribers to watch preselected playlists of individual videos during a workout.

App subscribers can also stream movies stored on their device or view movies in personal Dropbox accounts to augment their training.

"Our number one goal with the Kinetic Fit app is to help you improve as a cyclist and power training is the most effective way to accomplish this," said David Simpson, Kinetic's marketing manager. "Whether you are new or experienced, time-crunched or training like a pro, Kinetic Fit will keep you motivated and progressing with a personalized, data-driven plan and great workouts. Adding customizable video not only increases training-session options, but makes your time in the saddle more enjoyable."

The Kinetic Fit app is available now for free download at both the Apple and Android App stores, with riders able to choose from three subscription tiers: a free Core subscription with access to select data and power training features; a Smart subscription ($10/month or $70 annual) that includes over 200 personalized workouts, 28 training
plans, data sharing and full video integration; or for an additional $10/month, riders can stream the entire Sufferfest video training series with either Core or Smart.

Any purchase of a new Kinetic Smart Control trainer includes a free six-month Smart subscription to Kinetic Fit. Kinetic also offers a free one-month trial of the Smart subscription on all new Kinetic Smart trainer or inRide sensor accessory purchases.
