ZWIFT A Beginners Guide
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 06. 2024
- Hi everyone, thank you for checking out the channel. In this video, I go through the anatomy of Zwift, covering some of the little things you may see when you are setting up or riding that you might not know about. Icons, drops, XP, levels, ride ons, segments, KOMs and more. I start with the main menu and work through pointing out a lot of the nuances that aren’t always obvious and perhaps you don’t want to ask. I hope you find this helpful. You can also find a number of great resources on the ZwiftInsider website, Eric Schlange takes the time to break down courses, new features and more! I have placed timestamps in the pinned comment for easy navigation!

do you know if you can connect a bkool 'dumb' trainer to zwift?
Seriously... I have watched 20 other videos as a beginner and NONE of them really cover what is needed. This is the best video I have seen. Its complete, and doesn’t dwell on trivial stuff. Thanks
Totally agree
You put into words a comment I was trying to make
She flows smoothly from topic to topic and just seems like she should have more followers
As a completely new user, I have to agree :) Great intro video. Thanks!
@@CycloneTS1 because she is running on a pc.
She said: “They’re a lot of other resources that can do a better job than I can.”
As an old rider returning after an almost 20 years hiatus, I watched a boat load of other resources and I call bull her statement bull.
This is by far the most comprehensive and easy to follow informative video on one’s interactions with Zwift.
Keep it up! Subscribed.
🙏 much appreciated, I'm glad you got value out of the video! Welcome to Zwift!!
Excellent Video. Complete and to the point. Thank you!
New to Zwift and this has to be the most comprehensive video on it and it feels so official/professional
Keep up the good work
This is great. You answered a lot of questions and will make my experience that much more fun. Thanks
That’s just superb, for beginners and anyone who’s started recently, quick, clear, tells you everything you need to know in a warm accessible style. Best How To Zwift video out there, Thank-You!
Thank you for the generous compliment!! 🙏
Excellent! Especially helpful! I've been using Z for 2 weeks now. This info will come in handy starting with my very next ride!
Absolutely great intro! Thanks.
Thank you. This is extremely helpful and very well done. I've only been Zwifting for a couple of days and there is so much to take in. Your video is helping me feel more part of the Zwift community.
Thank you Sarah for your thorough explanation.
Great video, Sarah! I didn't know about the little lightning bolt icon indicating estimated power. Good to know!
This is a lot of helpful information. Triathlete here and wanted to get the basics. Thank you.
Just starting with ZWIFT. Lot's to ingest, but very helpful. Will be coming back to reference. Thx
Thank you. What I needed to know.
Very comprehensive and informative. Best Zwift video I have seen covering all aspects of the platform. Thanks
Just got my trainer today (elite suito) anxious to get in there! Great video thank you!
You’re a wizard! Love your vlogs. Thanks for this
I have only come across your videos quite recently and every one so far is away above all others in their field for insight, content, expertise, but above all ease of explanation. I have been on Zwift for over two years, reached level 43 and unlocked the Tron but having watched your video couldn’t believe how little I knew. Fantastic on every level. Thank you so much - please keep producing these gems
OUTSTANDING! Thank you so much! New to Zwift and hooked. Like button smashed and subscribed. What a great effort. Looking forward to binging your videos.
Thanks! Super useful, didn't expect it.
Great video! Lots of good details here. I think it’s going to help a lot of people! 👍
I'm new to Zwift only 2 weeks riding and I was totally confused. Thank you so much for this fantastic video. You have a new fan and subscriber.
Super helpful overview. Well detailed, a must watch
Thanks for posting this video.I'm new to Zwift so it's a steep learning curve & this video is very helpful. Liked & subscribed!
Best vid i have ever seen on getting started. As a new rider all the new tech was confusing as hell for me , but this has certainly cleared up all i needed to know. Much appreciated :)
Thanks, really comprehensive, being a zwift newbie
So appreciated. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
By far the most comprehensive and easy to get review ive seen! Thank you! I am getting a whole setup soon, and its my first time. Very excited! Keep a lookout for A.Niemi in the coming weeks!
A Great into to Zwift - I feel more ready and in the know to tackle it... Thanks SO much!
Thnx! Pretty new to Zwift and this helped alot!
Great job! Thanks for explaining to us beginners.
Very well explained I just joined zswift this makes it lot easier to understand thank you 👍👩🚒
This is the most informative Zwift instructional video out there...in fact, it may be the most informative instructional video out there. For anything. Period. Thank you!!!
Thank you . Being new to indoor cycling, was overwhelmed by all the apps and couldn’t decide which would be best fit for me. Difficult when you don’t know the content of any of them. Thank you so much for volunteering your time and knowledge!
Thank you so much for putting this video together, so helpful!
This was an amazing review! I have been Zwifting for 2 weeks and this was still super helpful. Thank you very much!
Watching more videos now! Super helpful!!!
Very thorough video. Thanks!
Thank you for this useful explanation 🙏
Best video for beginners to Zwift. I know because im a newbie and have searched far and wide for descriptive in depth video on navigating this at times daunting platform. Thanks for putting this video together. Very helpful. I would very much look forward to an even more detailed video in the future.
Thank you that was a excellent tutorial 👍 wished had watched it before started my Zwift journey 😊 watched few your other videos too. Really excellent high quality very well explained content! Very much appreciated 🙏
Best video to watch as a beginner. Like many, I've watched loads of beginner videos that just don't do the job this one does!
Phenomenal video, this was so helpful for me, thank you!!
I just signed up for zwift and it is a bit overwhelming all the stuff to learn. This video is a great start!
Thanks for this video! I’ve got my Suito on order so figure I start getting familiar with this now, then I can get into it at the earliest opportunity. Liked and subscribed! 👌🏼
Such useful content. That front screen is packed full of info and not knowing what it all meant was bothering me. I’ve picked so much up. Thank you very much. Off to sign up for Everest! Might take a millennium but every ride will now count! 👍👍
Thank you Great video I am new but I love Zwift It’s fun and the time passes quickly.
The best video for beginners! You've got a subscriber.
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THIS APP FROM THE BEGINNING. I have went thru 8 videos where they talk about beginning in Zwift, and they share very little info about the different parts or the application.
I didn't know the drops were useful to buy equipment! Now I upgraded my bike! Thanks a lot! I'll follow you on Strava!
Video 2 watched. Thanks for taking time to help a newbie. Look forward to seeing more over time.......and some newer ones eventually too
Really useful video, thank you for the great content 👍
I just started using Zwift following knee surgery. GREAT and informative video! I had been doing the free 7 day trial and didn't know what a lot of items were - until now. Now, to figure out how to interact while I'm riding. I use an AppleTV and that remote is touchy at best.
brilliant explenation! thank you so much!
Awesome video! Thank you !
Very helpful and inspiring. I realise that this video is done three years ago - but I still enjoyed it very much. :)
Best video I have seen to date. Has explained many things that other videos haven't. The tip about Everest was the best especially for a beginner on Zwift. Great stuff
Totally agree there , no one said anything about that when i bought all my gear and were so called , getting taught how to use this program.
Thank you so much for all this useful info!!!
Very helpful - many thanks
Thank you so much - this was great. I watched it on the smartTV with my iPad open just watching on Zwift and gave out so many ride ins. I’m definitely going on tonight to try some of the things I’ve learned 😀
Awesome! Glad to hear it! You're going to have a blast, Zwift is a great platform.
Hi Sarah. I have been using Zwift for about 6 months now (although currently injured with a torn ligament in my foot!) and I didn't know about most of your tips on this post, especially all the small symbols. I also wasn't aware about the challenge option. So, like you, I have been riding without accruing anything towards the Tron bike! I'll have to change that lol. Anyway, thanks again for another informative video. See you on the next one. :)
Great video! You have sold me on Zwift! :)
Awesome video. Thank you
you have been so much help to me.
Beginner here. Very useful and helpful guide. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! There have been some menu changes and refreshes, but I hope this helps you navigate for the most part. I really need to refresh this video!
I spotted my real world bike in your video. S-works venge. I now have a target to shoot for as well as the tron bike.
Thank you so so so much for this fantastic video!!
Awesome...Will probably have my trainer next week.
As a newbie to Zwift (less than a week!) thank you for such a clear, concise, informative video. Such a great help!
Glad it was helpful! 😀
Great job Sarah..thanks!
Thanks alot for the great works! Done several IM70.3, looking to train for IM. Any recommendation for which channels/similar sharing posts would be much appreciated! Tks
THAT. WAS. FANTASTIC.
I have not seen a better organized, or more thorough video on the Zwift interface. And I’ve watched plenty. I thought 40 minutes was going to be a slog, but it just zoomed by.
Thank you, so much.
So happy it helped! Thanks so much! 😃
Wow - wonderful organization & attention to detail! I love the way you've structured things topically like chapters or a book or Wikipedia page -- makes it useful as a reference that people can keep coming back to :-)
Thank you very much. I was hoping this would end up a good resource that people can pluck what they needed from. Thank you for watching!!
Amazing job - your video helps me a lot 👍🏻
Great! Glad to hear it!
New subscriber, and going to be joining zwift soon ...you go through this app like a drill Sargent, direct and to the point! ..lol..this is a big help ,you rock, thx 🙂
Super video - thank you so much
New to Zwift, excellent intro video for a beginner. Thank you.🚴
On two occassions I have hit ride and once the screen loads I am unable to cycle from the start position. The menu botton is in the bottom left screen and I have to close the programme and restart. May be a computer issue.
Thank you for all the links to further videos.
Philip.
Very useful thank you for easy explanation.
Great video, Thanks a lot!
Thank you. Appreciated.
so good, Zwift should hire you!
Awesome Video, thank you so much!
Awesome content, thanks!
Great video thank you.
Excellent video Sarah, big help for a newbee like me :-)
Wow, great video.. very helpful for beginners like me.. thank you..
This is great, thanks so much for the share
You are awesome at explaining Zwift - Thanks - Subscribed :-)
Amazing guide, thank you very much for it!
I have seen it in the CZcams suggestions and king of avoided it due to the length... but it is definitely worth it, all the important information well explained! I should have seen it earlier! ;)
Thank you! I pondered whether or not yo split it up into smaller chunks but didn't want to make it a pain to find all the pieces. I wish Zwift would throw an icon next to the videos with chapters to demonstrate that people can skip around a little more for longer tutorial videos.
@@EverythingIsPhotogenic I think it makes sense to have it all in one video, it feels very fluent/didactic as it is and it keeps all together, dividing in chunks would make the total (added) time even longer... I ended up seeing lots of other video chunks, probably took me longer and I learned less than here =P
The Timestamps on the video (and in the description) do the job :)
That was a fantastic video. Thanks
This is fantastic! Seems I’m late to the Zwift game being that this vid is 2yrs old but I’m super stoked to join in on the fun finally. As I contemplate my room/equipment set up I’m curious about how you all interact with this system while riding? With the chats and shortcuts etc. if I use this via my pc and wahoo kickr would most also have a cell phone tied in to do typing? Thanks again for the amazing video!!!
Very helpful, thank you.
Thanks very helpful 👍
Excellent Video.
Awesome vid thank you
Super helpful!!
Well done!!
Excellent video! Thanks from a noob.
Great video, thanks. I may of missed it, but how do I give a 'ride on' to other riders?
Thanks
Thanks! This is very helpful. Can you cover the map in the top right corner. I can’t figure out if the altitude profile at the bottom of the map goes right to left or the other way around. Also what do the markers mean? Thanks 🙏
