About us
Multiple decades of elite training know-how distilled into the world’s best indoor bike trainers. Wattbike’s mission is to improve the fitness and performance of every athlete in the world. That’s why Wattbike is chosen by the world’s top sporting teams, elite athletes, coaches, plus hundreds of health clubs and fitness centres across the globe. No other indoor trainer measures every pedal stroke and revolution more precisely, giving riders instant insights to get the most from their workouts, testing, rehabilitation programmes, and more.

Background

Wattbike was born more than 20 years ago with one goal - to create the ultimate indoor training bike and unlock new levels of performance.
The first Wattbike launched in 2008 in partnership with British Cycling. That same year, Team GB won 60% of the cycling gold medals at the Beijing Olympics.
Constant innovation in technology and design has led to Wattbike being the gold standard for indoor training, used by elite and amateur athletes alike in the pursuit of improved performance.


USPs
Wattbikes give members access to powerful and unique fitness and performance insights that no other gym equipment can give, from accurate power data to pedal technique tracking and left vs right power balance. It is the ultimate training and fitness testing tool.
Benchmarking and testing is an essential part of delivering effective member training experiences. Testing allows members to measure their fitness, provide motivation and personalise workouts for their fitness level. With unrivalled, independently verified accuracy, repeatability and ease of use, Wattbikes have built-in testing protocols that allow for a variety of tests from peak power to endurance-based FTP testing.
One of the most frequently used tests is the Health Assessment Submax Test, which gives users their Cardio Respiratory Fitness (CRF) score. This CRF score provides a predicted VO2max to highlight current health and fitness benchmarks. The score allows members to assess their fitness compared to their age and sex peer groups adding a layer of motivation.
Once completed, members will be provided with personalised training zones and a recommended training plan for their fitness level.

case study: WELLFIT, THE GYM CHAIN TAKING DUBAI BY STORM, PARTNERS WITH WATTBIKE
Wellfit, a UAE-based start-up offering vast, world-class fitness facilities and amenities is taking the region by storm, with sights set to become the region’s biggest fitness brand.

A TRAILBLAZER IN UAE FITNESS

With a dedication to provide next-level member experiences, embracing each individual’s fitness stories and providing a comprehensive array of sports and leisure activities to cater each and every individual, of all ages and abilities, Wellfits’ large venues facilitate free access to top trainers, technology to monitor, track and measure performance whilst ensuring there is never the frustration of having to wait for available machines or spots in its signature classes.

BEST IN CLASS EXPERIENCE AND EQUIPMENT

Joining the rapidly expanding portfolio of sites, its new flagship club, Wellfit Madar, sets a new standard for fitness and wellness in Aljada, Sharjah. Madar incorporates an impressive 65,000 sq ft training space and boasts state-of-the-art equipment including Wattbike Pros.

On the decision to partner with Wattbike, Gareth Jones, COO Wellfit explains: “As a keen cyclist myself, and Dubai being a very proactive place with a buzz of triathlon clubs, cycle tracks and a passion for the sport of cycling, I was keen to get performance bikes on our gym floor.”

”Wattbikes are simply the best.” Gareth Jones, COO, Wellfit.

“Wattbikes are simply the best. There’s a reason they are the bike of choice for so many top athletes and professional teams and for us, the fact that they are durable and powerless means they can be easily moved around our athletics performance training area where we have created an area for all powerless and functional equipment, allowing the members complete flexibility over how they train.”

PARTNERING FOR THE FUTURE

Rapidly establishing itself as the UAE’s premier fitness and wellness brand, when it opened, Wellfit Madar became the brands third large-scale hub, following two already existing vast health clubs in Dubai, Wellfit JVC (Jumeirah Village Circle which spans 75,000 st ft as well as Wellfit Meydan which is 50,000 sq ft.

Looking ahead to the future, Wellfit hopes to continue its partnership with Wattbike across its other clubs. “Wattbike is the perfect fit for our offering. The plan is to implement them into more of our clubs.” Jones continues. “For example, we have a 65,000 sq ft club right by an outdoor cycling track that covers 8km. We already have a triathlon club based there so in the future, I can already see how having the Wattbikes could support the club and aim to get both amateurs and professional cyclists into the facility.”

PROMOTING ACTIVE LIVING FOR ALL

Wellfits mission is to enable healthy and active lifestyles for all by providing a hub which offers an extensive support system that not only motivates people to live healthier lives, but also supports them along this journey.

“We run around 300 classes per week, from HIIT, martial arts and Yoga, through to Spin or even Lifting classes for kids. We truly do pride ourselves on offering something for everyone and believe that training with like minded people will encourage people to come back from more, time and time again, building that real community spirit.

“We ensure we have something within our facilities for everyone, aiming to get all of our members living a more active lifestyle.”
Jones concludes. “Our proposition is to provide the very best equipment in order to offer leading member experiences, all within a world-class environment. This ethos is woven into the very design of each of our clubs, and into every equipment decision we so carefully make.”

case study: MYKONOS PERFORMANCE REVOLUTIONIZES THE ATHLETE RETREAT CONCEPT WITH WORLD-CLASS RESORT
Mykonos Performance stands as a premium destination, offering top-tier training, rehabilitation, and performance amenities within a picturesque backdrop that boasts panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. Serving as a home away from home for athletes and fitness enthusiasts worldwide, it provides an ideal environment to elevate performance, all while ensuring a stylish and comfortable experience.

Founded in 2016, and run by practitioners with a specialisation in sports-specific exercise, this premier facility warmly welcomes elite athletes from across the globe. It redefines the concept of warm-weather, off-season training, and rehabilitation, setting new standards in the industry.

WARM WEATHER TRAINING CONCEPT

Jordan Demetriou, Head of Performance at Mykonos Performance explains; “My professional journey began in the UK, specialising in elite football as a Sports Physiotherapist, Rehabilitation and Performance coach. The vision of establishing a warm-weather training concept has long been an aspiration, driven by the increasing demand among elite athletes to optimise performance year-round, including during the off-season.

“I envisioned that this location would provide an ideal blend of a vacation setting for athletes, while also allowing them to focus wholeheartedly on their training requirements, whether performance-driven or rehabilitation-focused. The rapid growth of Mykonos Performance has turned it into a globally recognized concept for off-season training. During each summer season, we consistently host 90-100 athletes, marking a testament to the success and appeal of our unique approach.”

Building on the success of the initial launch, Mykonos Performance expanded its offering to include a wellness boutique hotel, Charisma, within the same complex. This evolution aims to provide a comprehensive 360-degree experience for not only elite athletes but also for fitness enthusiasts. While there is increased traffic of elite athletes from May to July during the offseason, the resort has now become a sought-after destination for a diverse range of individuals, including creatives, wellness enthusiasts, and holidaymakers throughout the entire summer season.

“NOTHING COMES CLOSE TO THE WATTBIKE…”

Mykonos Performance purpose-built gym boasts state-of-the-art training facilities equipped with a diverse range of leading fitness equipment, featuring a mix of Wattbike Pros, Trainers, and Nucleus. As Jordan explains, "Having extensive experience with Wattbike in the elite sports sector, I can confidently say that nothing rivals Wattbike in terms of accurate testing, immediate feedback, comfort, durability, and the authentic feel of a real ride. It stands out as an exceptionally impressive training tool and is essential to our training approach. “Nothing comes close to Wattbike when it comes to accurate testing, immediate feedback, comfort, durability and the real-ride feel.”
- Jordan Demetriou, Head of Performance, Mykonos Performance


“The Wattbike proves immensely beneficial for athletes, particularly in rehabilitation or off-feet conditioning. It allows athletes to minimise leg impact while still focusing on enhancing their cardiovascular ability.”

HIGH PROFILE ATHLETES

Having worked extensively within elite sports, the team has cultivated trust among visiting athletes and their teams. This trust has resulted in ongoing business opportunities driven by the powerful word-of-mouth referrals within the extensive network of elite sports.

Mykonos Performance has been the choice of elite athletes from some of the world's most prominent teams. Notable individuals who have used the facilities include Manuel Neuer, Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, and Jerome Boateng from Bayern Munich, as well as NBA Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler. Additionally, we've had the privilege of welcoming Eduardo Camavinga from Real Madrid and Manchester City players Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku.

“In particular, Manuel Neuer left a lasting impression with his remarkable performance on the Wattbike," Demetriou remembers. "He engaged in lengthy, challenging Wattbike sessions lasting 35-40 minutes, all the while maintaining a perfect 50/50 distribution across his right and left leg output. It's an extraordinary feat; I've witnessed individuals sustain this balance for perhaps a minute, but never over an extended session!”

PERSONALISATION IN PROGRAMMING

Mykonos Performance takes pride in avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment. The success of its methodology lies in comprehending the unique physiological needs of each athlete in advance and tailoring a personalized program specifically crafted to suit the individual.

The team envisions expanding the Mykonos Performance and Charisma Wellness Resort model to additional locations, including residential areas. This expansion aims to offer a more frequent opportunity for clients to use the facilities regularly, providing an accessible and consistent experience.

WATTBIKE LAUNCHES HUB+, A PREMIUM VERSION OF ITS APP WITH ADVANCED PERSONALISATION AND AN INDUSTRY-FIRST ‘WORKOUT BUILDER’

Wattbike, leaders in indoor cycling, has launched Hub+, a premium subscription version of its app that promotes greater personalisation for a more customised workout experience, seamless integration with third-party apps and new, exclusive training content curated by leading athletes, sports scientists and innovative research.

Introducing an industry-first functionality, Hub+ incorporates the ‘Workout Builder’ feature, a user-friendly, powerful tool designed with a seamless ‘drag-and-drop’ option in which users, coaches or personal trainers can configure their own workouts in seconds by selecting from a range of segment blocks in-app.

Duncan Bradley, Chief Product & Brand Officer at Wattbike, said: “We know our customers are intrinsically motivated to achieve their fitness goals. Performance is personal, whether it's about professional achievement, fitness goals or taking care of mental health or rebuilding strength after injury. With the launch of Hub+, we are helping our customers achieve those goals with more control of their training.”

One of the most innovative features in Hub+, is the ability to share custom workouts with other Hub+ users. Workouts can be shared via the user’s preferred channel (such as WhatsApp, email, SMS, Airdrop) allowing the increased connectivity between users, coaches, personal trainers or members. A workout export feature then provides users the flexibility to complete their custom workouts via other third-party apps or a bike computer outdoors.

From a commercial perspective, Hub+ subscriptions can be packaged for operators, independent gyms, studios, coaches and personal trainers in order to provide members with bespoke club workouts, extra training content, challenges and individualised member sessions at just the touch of a button, helping clubs to personalise content effectively to meet differing goals and abilities.

Andy McCorkell, Wattbike Head of Product, said: “The new tools that Hub+ gives our users is what they’ve asked for and more. Wattbike has once again proven that we are the ones to beat when it comes to the most user-friendly but powerful indoor training solutions - and this is only the beginning of the exciting developments that we’re working on for our new subscription model.”

The Wattbike Hub+ app is available now and is compatible with iOS and Android devices. Wattbike users will be able to access Hub+ free for 30 days to trial the features and to find out how they can improve their performance.

While the original Wattbike Hub remains free, Hub+ will be available as a subscription option alongside, at £7.99 per month or £79.99 annually and significantly expands its scope.

"He engaged in lengthy, challenging Wattbike sessions lasting 35-40 minutes, all the while maintaining a perfect 50/50 distribution across his right and left leg output. It's an extraordinary feat; I've witnessed individuals sustain this balance for perhaps a minute, but never over an extended session!”

PERSONALISATION IN PROGRAMMING

Mykonos Performance takes pride in avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment. The success of its methodology lies in comprehending the unique physiological needs of each athlete in advance and tailoring a personalized program specifically crafted to suit the individual.

The team envisions expanding the Mykonos Performance and Charisma Wellness Resort model to additional locations, including residential areas. This expansion aims to offer a more frequent opportunity for clients to use the facilities regularly, providing an accessible and consistent experience.

case study: WATTBIKE LAUNCHES HUB+
WATTBIKE LAUNCHES HUB+, A PREMIUM VERSION OF ITS APP WITH ADVANCED PERSONALISATION AND AN INDUSTRY-FIRST ‘WORKOUT BUILDER’

Wattbike, leaders in indoor cycling, has launched Hub+, a premium subscription version of its app that promotes greater personalisation for a more customised workout experience, seamless integration with third-party apps and new, exclusive training content curated by leading athletes, sports scientists and innovative research.

Introducing an industry-first functionality, Hub+ incorporates the ‘Workout Builder’ feature, a user-friendly, powerful tool designed with a seamless ‘drag-and-drop’ option in which users, coaches or personal trainers can configure their own workouts in seconds by selecting from a range of segment blocks in-app.

Duncan Bradley, Chief Product & Brand Officer at Wattbike, said: “We know our customers are intrinsically motivated to achieve their fitness goals. Performance is personal, whether it's about professional achievement, fitness goals or taking care of mental health or rebuilding strength after injury. With the launch of Hub+, we are helping our customers achieve those goals with more control of their training.”

One of the most innovative features in Hub+, is the ability to share custom workouts with other Hub+ users. Workouts can be shared via the user’s preferred channel (such as WhatsApp, email, SMS, Airdrop) allowing the increased connectivity between users, coaches, personal trainers or members. A workout export feature then provides users the flexibility to complete their custom workouts via other third-party apps or a bike computer outdoors.

From a commercial perspective, Hub+ subscriptions can be packaged for operators, independent gyms, studios, coaches and personal trainers in order to provide members with bespoke club workouts, extra training content, challenges and individualised member sessions at just the touch of a button, helping clubs to personalise content effectively to meet differing goals and abilities.

Andy McCorkell, Wattbike Head of Product, said: “The new tools that Hub+ gives our users is what they’ve asked for and more. Wattbike has once again proven that we are the ones to beat when it comes to the most user-friendly but powerful indoor training solutions - and this is only the beginning of the exciting developments that we’re working on for our new subscription model.”

The Wattbike Hub+ app is available now and is compatible with iOS and Android devices. Wattbike users will be able to access Hub+ free for 30 days to trial the features and to find out how they can improve their performance.

While the original Wattbike Hub remains free, Hub+ will be available as a subscription option alongside, at £7.99 per month or £79.99 annually and significantly expands its scope.

Testimonial
“Our approach when it comes to gym design and equipment is to always seek the best-in-class options for our members. We want our members to use the best treadmills, the best Olympic lifting bars, the best strength machines and the best bikes on the market.

“With Wattbike’s experience and exposure in the highest levels of elite sport all over the World, it was an obvious choice for us to have the Wattbikes as our bike of choice for Third Space.”

– Rob Beale, fitness director, Third Space
Testimonial
“Wattbikes are simply the best. There’s a reason they are the bike of choice for so many top athletes and professional teams and for us, the fact that they are durable and powerless means they can be easily moved around our athletics performance training area where we have created an area for all powerless and functional equipment, allowing the members complete flexibility over how they train.”

– Gareth Jones, COO, Wellfit.
Testimonial
“Nothing comes close to Wattbike when it comes to accurate testing, immediate feedback, comfort, durability and the real-ride feel.

“The Wattbike proves immensely beneficial for athletes, particularly in rehabilitation or off-feet conditioning. It allows athletes to minimise leg impact while still focusing on enhancing their cardiovascular ability.”

– Jordan Demetriou, head of performance, Mykonos Performance
