As of March 31, the New York-based company reported more than 5. There could be softening in that demand as in-person workouts and gyms re-open. Wedbush Securities downgraded Peloton last week, claiming that the company has seen a drop off in customer engagement, based on analysis of social media and internet search trends. Typically, a real-world cyclist attaches the back end of his road bike to a digitally controlled smart trainer, linked to an app that simulates his avatar riding an actual route — from a local favorite to a mountain stage in the Tour — seen on a monitor, tablet or smartphone.
The trainer automatically increases and decreases resistance to mimic the route's elevation. Since Zwift was founded in Long Beach, California, in , 3.
The company did not provide the current number, though said the figure doubled in FY , which ended in March. Strava stated that million Zwift activities have been uploaded to its platform, including thousands of grueling "Everstings," a single virtual ride that climbs a total of at least 29, feet, the height of Mt. During worldwide Covid lockdowns last year, Zwift held a virtual Tour de France, with classifications for both men and women.
While subscriptions are "really where the value is for us as a business," Min said, the company is developing its own smart trainers and indoor bikes, likely to hit the market next year. Zwift won't cut out its existing hardware partners, including Wahoo, Elite and Tacx, "but we think we should be the ones setting the bar," Min said. As Covid restrictions continue to ease, people are heading back to the gym.
But does that mean Zwifters, Peloton devotees and other at-home exercisers will lose their mojo and begin using their equipment as clothes hangers? Some apps however manage to break through the noise because they have a sustainable app engagement strategy. Previously we discussed how gamification for apps can increase user engagement. In this blog, we will break down what makes the fitness app Strava one of the most popular apps of its kind!
Strava is a fitness app with over 55 million users. It started out as a tracking app for runners and cyclists, but it quickly evolved into a community of health enthusiasts. What is the most popular type of apps where users spend most of their time? You guessed it: Games! Followed by social networks and entertainment apps.
So what if I told you adding game-like elements to your app can make it more engaging? Gamification for apps can help you shape user behavior so you can have an app just as engaging as Strava! Strava designed an experience to change behavior through the science of motivation.
It makes sports even more fun! So what does app gamification actually look like? Well, next to a greatly designed user experience there are some features that push the user journey forward.
These features are linked to fundamental human desires, such as curiosity, independence, or social status, so users are activated to keep coming back. In Strava reported over 2 billion app activities, securing its place as one of the largest fitness communities in the world.
Strava uses the power of competition to motivate user participation. And there will always be someone who is fitter. More active, more accomplished When I first started using Strava, I would go for a ride and then be excited to look at my segment results. That excitement quickly faded. I was almost always average, at best.
In some cases well below average. So I decided to stop comparing myself to other people and just start comparing myself to myself. To see if I can improve my time on a particular segment. To see if I can increase my average power numbers.
To see if I can ride a certain route a little faster than I have before. I still check out other people's accomplishments, but I only use them for inspiration.
As a sign of what is possible. As a sign that I'm capable of doing just a little bit more. The team uses Strava as a tool to study route segments, and especially the major climbs, to evaluate distances, gradients, and potential speeds so they can choose the right gearing and best tactics.
Groupama FDJ also uses Strava to create a route and export that data to every rider's Garmin eliminating GPS errors familiar to anyone who has ever ridden country roads. And to make post-stage analysis much easier. That makes debriefing a time trial extremely interesting.
