The missus has had me sort out a turbo trainer for the spare room. Can anyone tell me of a good turbo trainer app for the ipad (mini) with plenty of programs as i dont want her getting bored? Thanks

Trainerroad
You'll also need to invest in a Bluetooth speed/cadence sensor to make it worthwhile. A BT HRM wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Would rather something that doesnt involve paying someone so from what i've seen that rules out the trainerroad. Plus i dont know that she'll stick to it. The GCN looks like it could be good though so thanks for the suggestions.

I think most of the ones with a decent variety of training sessions do require some form of subscription, not looked at GCN though. I use Trainerroad (Zwift wasn't about when I started) which is £6/month and you can suspend the account during the summer when you aren't using it.

Sounding somewhat like a drug pusher - TR have given me a free referral/introductory month to hand out so if you/she want to try it out you are welcome to have that. Just remember to mark in your diary when it runs out so you don't get billed if you don't want to carry on.

I've just received my shiny new Tacx Vortex turbo - any chance I could nab one of the TR trials that have been so kindly offered?
