Your rides hold secrets to your cycling potential. Our AI-powered analytics uncover the patterns that help you become a stronger cyclist.

FormBeat is an AI-powered cycling training app and analytics platform for cyclists and endurance athletes. Connect Strava or Garmin, and it analyzes every workout for you, turning the numbers into plain answers: how your fitness is trending, what to do next, and whether you're actually getting faster.

Almost certainly, whatever level you ride at. FormBeat works just as well for someone new to cycling as it does for an intermediate cyclist or a racer chasing the last few percent — it meets you where you are and scales the insight to match. You don't need to be fast, train by numbers, or know any sports science; FormBeat puts everything in plain language and tells you what to do with it. If you ride a bike and want to get better, it's for you.

Most cycling training apps go one of two ways. Some just log your rides and leave you to work out what it all means. Others, like TrainingPeaks, are powerful and comprehensive, but all that depth is more than many riders want when they just need to know what to do next. FormBeat sits in between, on purpose. It answers the questions that actually matter — are you fresh, are you training enough, are you getting fitter — in language anyone can follow, and still does the serious analysis underneath when you want to go deeper. You get insight you can act on, not a spreadsheet to decode.

By closing the loop between training and actually learning from it, so the right lessons stick. Three things do the heavy lifting:

• Ride-by-ride analysis. Every workout gets broken down automatically, so you always know what it did for your fitness and what to take from it.
• An AI cycling coach on call. Ask what to do next, how to pace an event, or why a ride felt flat, and you'll get an answer based on your own history. Meet the AI coach.
• A weekly summary. Each week you get a clear recap of how your training went and what mattered, so you catch trends early and stay on track without trawling through data.

Train, see what worked, adjust, repeat — that's the quiet loop that turns into real fitness over time.

After every ride, FormBeat gives you AI workout feedback that goes beyond the basic numbers. It explains what the session did for your fitness, whether the intensity was right, and how it fits your bigger training picture, and it flags the moments that mattered. It's like having a coach review every ride, automatically. See how ride feedback works.

There's real sports science behind FormBeat's cycling analytics: the same models coaches and exercise physiologists rely on, just automated and explained in plain English. The main pillars:

• Fitness, fatigue and form. We track your training load over time so you can watch your fitness build, your fatigue rise, and the balance between them that tells you when you're fresh and when you need to ease off. Every session counts, whether it's a power ride or a heart-rate run or swim. How we measure progress.
• Critical Power. Instead of boiling you down to one FTP number, we model your power across durations to find what you can really sustain and how much you've got in reserve above it.
• Aerobic efficiency. We watch how much power you make per heartbeat over time, which shows real aerobic gains rather than just more hours ridden.
• Your power profile. We stack your power curve against science-based benchmarks to show your strengths and where you've got room to grow, from sprinter to climber to all-rounder. How your athlete profile works.

FormBeat also spots FTP gains on its own, so your zones and analysis stay current without you lifting a finger.

Yes, and they're a big part of why FormBeat reads your fitness so well. One FTP number treats your ability as a single figure. Critical Power paints the fuller picture, modeled automatically from your everyday rides with no lab or test protocol to sit through:

• Critical Power (CP) is the power you can hold for a long time before fatigue really takes over. Think of it as your true, sustainable engine, and a more honest threshold than FTP alone.
• W', your anaerobic battery, is the finite energy you can spend above CP. It's what fuels your attacks, climbs and sprints, draining as you push and recharging when you ease off.
• Peak power is your top-end punch for short, flat-out efforts.

FormBeat uses these to set training zones that actually fit you, estimate how long you could hold a given effort, and track how your engine changes over the season. You'll get the most out of it with a power meter.

All of them. Whether it's a structured interval session, a long endurance ride, a tempo effort, a recovery spin or a hard group ride, FormBeat reads the shape of each workout — the surges, the steady blocks, the climbs — and shows how it fits your bigger picture. Interval training, endurance miles, threshold work and everything in between all count toward your fitness in the right way. Follow a structured plan or just ride how you feel; the analysis adapts either way.

Open the app and you'll see a readiness score out of 10, with a simple traffic-light, that weighs your fitness, fatigue, form and recent training, plus a suggested workout for the day. FormBeat watches the balance between training and recovery and gives you a heads-up when you're tipping into overtraining, so you stay consistent and skip those flat, stale weeks. No more guessing whether to go hard or take it easy; you just get a clear call. See what your dashboard shows.

Not the rigid, pre-baked cycling training plans that fall apart the first time life gets in the way. FormBeat does something more flexible: it reads how you're actually training and gives daily, readiness-based guidance on what to do next, plus an AI coach you can ask for direction. Whether you're following a structured cycling training plan from a coach or just riding by feel, FormBeat keeps you pointed the right way and steers you clear of overtraining.

FormBeat is built around cycling — that's where the deepest power and Critical Power analysis lives — but it also tracks and analyzes your running, swimming and other workouts, so your whole training picture sits in one place. You don't need a power meter to start; heart rate and basic ride data are enough, and you can add power later. A power meter just unlocks the most detailed stuff, like your power curve, CP model and athlete profile.

Yes — indoor cycling counts just as much as outdoor riding. Rides from Zwift, Rouvy and other virtual cycling platforms sync automatically through Strava or Garmin and get the same full analysis as your outdoor sessions, so a winter of indoor cycling training shows up in your fitness exactly as it should. Trainer sessions without GPS work fine too.

Connect Strava or Garmin once and you're set — FormBeat works as a smart bike tracker, importing and analyzing every cycling activity automatically, with nothing to do by hand. Your dashboard updates with new training trends and power progression after each ride. Prefer to bring data in yourself? You can upload FIT, TCX or GPX files or add an activity manually, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Yes. You can try every feature for free, with no commitment, so connect your data and explore your full analysis before you decide anything. See plans and pricing.

Yes. FormBeat is on iOS and Android, fully in sync with the web, so you can check your readiness, look back at a ride, or ask the AI coach a question wherever you are.
