Getting Started with FormBeat

You already put in the work. The early mornings, the interval sessions, the long weekend rides. But here's the thing: most cyclists train hard without ever knowing if that training is actually working. They accumulate data without gaining understanding.

FormBeat changes that. We take your ride data and translate it into something useful — the kind of insight a coach would give you, available every time you open the app.

Setup takes two minutes

Connect your ride data and we'll pull in your training history. During setup, we'll ask about your FTP if you train with power, your heart rate zones if you know them, and basic preferences like units. If you're not sure about something, skip it — FormBeat can estimate these values from your rides, and you can always adjust later.

What happens next

As soon as you connect, your activities start importing. Our AI analyzes each ride automatically — power zones, heart rate patterns, intensity metrics, and a written analysis of what the ride was and what it means. Your dashboard populates with your fitness trends, training load, and power profile. Within minutes, you'll have the complete picture.

Download the mobile app

FormBeat mobile app on iOS and Android

FormBeat is also available on iOS and Android, so you can check your training status and review ride analysis on the go. The AI Coach is fully accessible from mobile — ask questions about your training from anywhere. You'll also get push notifications when new rides are analyzed, so you can read your post-ride debrief right after you cool down.

This isn't about more data

You don't need another dashboard full of numbers you have to interpret yourself. FormBeat's value is in the interpretation — turning your ride files into clear, actionable understanding of where you are and where you're headed.
