About
JOIN Cycling is an AI-driven cycling training platform built for cyclists of all abilities — from beginners to elite athletes. The app was designed by World Tour-level cycling coaches and leverages artificial intelligence to generate custom training plans that continuously adapt to your schedule, performance data, and real-world rides. Rather than following a static plan, JOIN learns from every ride you complete. It accounts for unplanned rides (like club spins), adjusts for your available time, and intelligently varies workout types to keep training fresh and effective. Simply input your availability and goals, and JOIN handles all the planning. Key capabilities include adaptive plan generation, overtraining prevention, seamless integration with Strava and popular cycling devices, and a library of varied workouts suited to different fitness levels and training goals. The app delivers a professional coaching experience right in your pocket — without needing to hire a personal coach. JOIN is especially well-suited for busy cyclists who struggle to maintain consistent training schedules. Its intuitive interface makes it easy to log availability changes on the fly, and the AI instantly recalculates your upcoming workouts. Whether you're training for a gran fondo, building base fitness, or competing at a high level, JOIN provides a structured, science-backed approach to cycling improvement.
