I have been using an Elite turbo trainer for 18 months now, and it really is a great way to keep cycling in the colder weather,
You can follow a training plan to get faster, or fitter or stronger or all 3! In the summer its also really useful if you just want a brief 30 minute spin if you’ve had a busy day.
Turbo training has become massively less boring due to the emergence of lots of training apps, like Trainerroad, Sufferfest or Zwift. They make training really fun, or rather they make pedalling nowhere have an actual purpose!
I have 3 Elite turbo trainers set up in the shop, with an ipad and you can try the different training apps. The trainer below is winning all the praise, its called the DIreto. It’s said to be one of the best trainers for its pricepoint, beating some of those around the £1000. Its currently £675.00
DC Rainmaker did a review of the Direto and its pretty amazing
The Qubo at £280.00 is well worth a look and road.cc did a great review of it.
The Volano at £350.00 is a budget direct drive trainer, again road.cc did a review of the model, without the ‘smart’ sensor, but they really liked it. The one in the shop comes with a smart sensor that connects to your ipad, tablet or PC.
