Explained: MyWhoosh LIVE and VOD Workouts
By Zach Nehr
In 2024, MyWhoosh launched their live coaching and video-on-demand (VOD) sessions, and it wasn’t long until the inaugural Café Ride with Tadej Pogačar became the biggest live riding event in MyWhoosh history.
Now, you can ride with expert coaches in up to five different time slots almost every day of the week. If you need something else to fit your schedule, you can explore MyWhoosh’s library of VOD workouts which can be always accessed.
In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about MyWhoosh live and VOD sessions.
Live Coaching Workouts Explained
Live Coaching Workouts is a relatively new feature on MyWhoosh that enables you to ride with an expert coach or cycling celebrity (or both) from anywhere in the world. These real-time, interactive coaching sessions allow you to get the most out of your workout while also connecting with the cycling community.
Here are additional details about MyWhoosh Live Coaching Workouts:
- Live Coaching Workouts run on a regular schedule. Here is the February 2025 calendar.
- Access these sessions by clicking the “Live Coach” button on the MyWhoosh home screen.
- Live Coaching Workouts are free to access for all MyWhoosh users.
In addition to Live Coaching Sessions, MyWhoosh hosts live Café Rides – a 30-minute coffee ride with special guests. Recent rides were with Tadej Pogačar and Peter Sagan and MyWhoosh aims to bring in more exciting guests for future rides. These events offer the experience of riding with some of the best cyclists in history, and you can even send them questions through the live chat.
MyWhoosh regularly posts schedule and updates about Live Coaching Sessions and Café Rides on social media – Instagram and Facebook Group
Video-On-Demand Workouts
Video-On-Demand (VOD) sessions are recorded Live Coaching Sessions that you can access at any time. VOD sessions feature coaches that provide expert guidance throughout each step of your workout, plus that extra bit of motivation that you might need to get through the toughest part of your session.
Here are some more details about MyWhoosh VOD sessions:
- There are currently 26 VOD sessions available in the MyWhoosh app.
- Access VOD sessions by clicking the “Workout & Video” button on the MyWhoosh home screen. On the left side of the Collections screen, you will see a button that says, “Fitness Video Coach”. Here, you will find every VOD session available on MyWhoosh.
- These Workouts are free to access for all MyWhoosh users.
Live Coaching Sessions vs VOD Sessions
One of the main benefits of VOD workouts is that you can choose exactly what type of workout you would like to do. If you are like me and you live a busy life with a packed schedule, you might only have one 30 to 60-minute time slot to ride during the day. If the Live Coaching is training FTP that day but you want to train your VO2 Max, you can head to the VOD workout library to pick out a VO2 Max workout.
- Live Coaching Sessions provide more person-to-person interaction. You can even add questions or comments in the game chat that your live coach will read in real-time.
- VOD Sessions provide more flexibility to your training schedule. You can schedule your next training and ride whenever you want, and you can pick out the exact session that you want to ride.
Whether it is Live Coaching, VOD Workouts or a Cafe Ride – MyWhoosh has got you covered with plenty of opportunities to fit your training needs.
