One of the best ways of keeping fit and motivated throughout the year, rain or shine, is to use an indoor training and racing platform. There are plenty of options out there, but Zwift dominates the category over the years has become synonymous with indoor cycling. Just as 'Garmin' is often used to mean a generic cycle computer, although the likes of Wahoo and Hammerhead are catching up, you'll frequently hear indoor riding referred to as 'Zwifting'.
Zwift has expanded since it launched in 2014 to offer 12 virtual worlds, more than 150 routes, and a vast number of workouts and structured training plans – which is great news for Zwift's thousands of subscribers, but on the flip side it can make it potentially difficult to know where to start if you're not yet Zwifting.
