Why have none of my friends ever heard of Zwift or Zwifting or Zwalking or Zwalker or Watopia or any of the fun online world of Cycling and Running online?
Zwift is a massively multiplayer online cycling and running physical training program that enables users to interact, train and compete in a virtual world. The company responsible for Zwift, Zwift Inc., was cofounded by Jon Mayfield, Eric Min, Scott Barger and Alarik Myrin in California, United States, in 2014.
Now that you are ready to get started with Zwift, there are a couple basic things you need to start running. Some of this might be a bit overwhelming, but don't worry, we are here to help!
First—you'll need a treadmill. This is what you'll need to run on while you're connected to Zwift. In some cases, it will also give us the info we need to make you move in-game and let you run with Zwifters all around the world.
Second—you'll need a footpod, connected shoe, or treadmill sensor. We’ll help you figure out what works best with Zwift.
If you have a treadmill that transmits directly to Zwift via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)—sometimes called a smart treadmill—you won’t need a footpod, connect shoe, or treadmill sensor. For a list of smart treadmills that we support, check out this article.
Third—but definitely not least, you will need a Device to run Zwift on. We support a ton of different devices.
To sum it all up, here is a simplified list of what you need:
