CyclistMeet Engyne Health: Yanto Barkers new do-it-all training (and saving) appThe way we train changes all the time, with innovations such as bike computers, power meters, fitness tracking apps, indoor training apps and nutrition developments all taking the industry and our training to new levels.The latest emerging trend of this genre is AI training apps, which aim to make world-class insight accessible to everyone, with personalised advice from an always-on AI coach, who knows every detail of your training and fitness, and can build you a full training plan in seconds.Engyne Health founder Yanto Barker was a prominent figure on the British pro scene for more than a decade, and went on to set up the Le Col clothing brand before turning his brains to Engyne.Leading the way is Engyne Health, founded by ex pro cyclist and Le Col founder Yanto Barker and EZ Loyalty founder and ex-pro rugby player David Birch, which takes the concept of an AI coaching app and takes it even further, bringing together everything you get from the other apps you might use with a personal coach as well as loyalty points and rewards, which mean your training pays off both figuratively and literally, with savings available across a massive range of brands.Training with Engyne HealthAt Engynes heart is its AI coaching. Having been international-level coached for 20 years, I spent a couple of months doing the research on this, talking to various AI about what you would recommend, asking it mostly questions I knew the answer to, and genuinely knowing the quality of the answer I was blown away by how good it was, Barker says. It gives really well balanced, really high quality answers, and I thought This is as good as any coach Ive spoken to. Engyne auto-syncs with Strava, Garmin, Wahoo, Karoo and more to pull together the data from your workouts to provide fitness, fatigue and form metrics, and even aerodynamic drag estimations from group rides. With all that information, it gives feedback on your workouts, suggesting what should come next even if its rest and forming your training plan around what you can do. Give it an end goal and it will provide a fully fleshed out plan to the smart calendar; need some advice on what to aim for? Itll help weigh up what different plans would look like; dont have time to do your workouts? Itll adapt the calendar to work for you. It also takes your own notes post-ride to account for how your body and mind are feeling, and women can log their menstrual cycle, which it will use to help you understand your performance, energy and recovery, and adapt your training plan where necessary.Its not just about your individual training either, Engyne has all the social elements you could want from a training app, including general segment leaderboards top tip: the sooner. you join the more chance you have of topping the charts. It also has club leaderboards, or leaderboards for your friendseven if its just two of you to stay accountable to your goals, which arent limited to fast times, you can rank on specific metrics where your strengths can really show. And theres in-built messaging for clubs too, so you dont have to leave the app to give your mates feedback.Beyond those data-driven features, Engyne also integrates maps and can suggest new routes for your workouts depending on your location and training goals; and itll give you advice on fuelling and hydration for your workouts, which is based on duration, intensity and temperature.And Barker says this is just the start: There are some really, really cool new features that Ive been looking at that would, I think, change the game and move the way exercise is viewed quite considerably.Earning and saving with Engyne HealthTraining isnt everything that Engyne does though.
