Feature Sheet

Fully stand-alone trainer and analysis platform for up to as many smart trainers, indoor bikes, turbo/mag trainers, treadmills, and Concept2 rowers as you need. If you have a powerful computer with a lot of screen space (or multiple projectors) then a large number of trainers may be used at once. On the practical side, if you have a common 8 to 12-trainer setup, PerfPRO Studio is perfect for bringing in additional trainers and allowing a larger group setting. Trainers/bikes/rowers and various manufacturers may be mixed to allow a very high level of flexability.
Extremely powerful for individual athletes. See the Purchase Page for pricing for up to 3-rider support.
Completely integrates with PerfPRO Analyzer. Results files are automatically loaded into PerfPRO Analyzer after each workout. PerfPRO Analyzer can also immediately upload and email reports after each ride. This includes the PerfPRO website as well as TrainingPeaks, Strava, and many more.

ANT+ enabled. Use a really wide range of ANT+ devices to display and record their information.
Bluetooth (BLE) enabled. If you own some bluetooth only devices like HR straps or cadence/speed sensors then they may be used with PerPRO using a Bluegiga BLED112 dongle.
Power Meter Control: You may pair up your power meter with a controllable trainer and have the power meter adjust the resistance to follow its power output. This is useful when you know for certain your power meter is more accurate than your trainer.
Multiple data pages. Athletes can use their keyboard, PerfPRO Remote App or handlebar controller to toggle through the various data displays. An unlimited number of custom pages may also be created to customize what you want to see on one page.
Pair up any video with any workout. Also, if you want to build up and sync a workout from your own helmet cam video you can do that too. Just build the video, create a workout that matches it and you're good to go. If you're willing to put in the time of producing the videos with PerfPRO Studio you can have your own free video workouts. It's pretty sweet!
Can update your FTP on the fly to adjust difficulty.
Riders can be added during a workout. If people show up late, athletes can be added to empty seats without causing interruptions to other athletes. Rider's finish times are total ride time they rode rather than the workout's final time. This ensures accurate analysis of each rider's performance data.
Intelligent built-in workout and course library. This makes for easy adding and editing of workouts and courses of many types. See the Workout & Course Database page for more information. You'll find it very handy.
Train using a Time / FTP% based workout, Time / Watts, Time /Grade, PerfPRO's proprietary "MixMode" workout or a "Course-to-FTP Workout". See the Workout Modes section for more information.
Compatible with most performance and course file types. There should never be a need to convert a file to a particular course type (e.g, Garmin to 3DC is not necessary). PerfPRO Studio simply loads them all and becomes especially powerful when these files are imported into the workout database.
Built-in FTP Testing. No need to find a course and/or a workout, this test is built right into PerfPRO Studio. While testing, athletes can view their FTP interactively and get feedback when they are going below their old FTP or simply crushing it. The default FTP duration and slope of the test is setup within Options, and the slope can be adjusted individually during the test using the handlebar controller. When their ride is finished their FTP is automatically updated for them as well as their power zones. Optionally, they may also automatically update their LTHR and Heart Rate Zones. This is very handy for individual riders and a HUGE time-saver for classroom training sessions. The administrator no longer has to update each rider's FTP individually. It's 2024, let PerfPRO Studio handle this for you!
Interactive workouts. During the workout you get interactive countdowns showing the next steps, what load you should be riding at as well as motivational comments and audio alerts. Goals for the workout are displayed as well. The main timer also shows all steps for the workout and gives you the option to skip certain steps if they don't pertain to today's effort.
Manual Lap counter. Use your mouse to press the Lap button on the main timer to show lap times. OR simply press the F1 on the handlebar controller to do the same thing. You can then get general splits (speed/watts/distance/times) of each lap, which can then be further analyzed to the nth degree in PerfPRO Analyzer.
Auto-lap counter. Workouts can be setup to automatically hit the lap counter every number of mins/secs/miles/kilometers. Auto laps can also be setup within a workout (using the built-in workout editor) so laps are shown for each step or a specific group of steps within each workout. To take it even further, when riding courses, you can specify multiple laps and get separate splits for course laps. You wanted LAP complexity, you got it!
Very easy port and trainer assignment setup for large studios.
PerfPRO Studio uses very little of your PC's CPU so you can run other applications at the same time (e.g., Music, Movie player, etc). For a single CPU processor running Windows XP, 12 trainers takes up approximately 15-20% of your CPU usage. If you use any of the older CT software, your CPU runs at 100%. If you own anything newer with at least a dual-core processor then the total CPU usage drops to around 5% for the same setup. If you're using Windows 7 with a quad core setup then connecting even as many as 40 trainers does not use much of your machine's power though it does take a little longer to startup that many trainers. The biggest issue you will run into is screen space with a setup that large. Time to get a big video card and multiple projectors.
Quite a bit more actually, but as you can see, adequately feature rich. Try it out and you will see, if you're serious about training you're going to love this platform!!!!!!
