What You Need to Run

Now that you're ready to get started with Zwift, there's a few basic things you need to start running. Some of this might be a bit overwhelming, but don't worry, we're here to help!

  1. A Treadmill. The treadmill is what you'll run on while you're connected to Zwift. In some cases, it will also give us the info we need to make you move in-game and let you run with Zwifters all around the world.

  2. A Footpod/Connected Shoe/Treadmill Sensor. You'll need a compatible sensor to make you move in-game.

  3. A Device. You'll need a supported device to run Zwift.

    Check out our article to get help downloading and launching Zwift.

  4. An Account. You'll need a Zwift account to use the game.

If you're looking to move beyond a basic setup, think about adding a Heart Rate Monitor to boost your Zwift experience.

When you have all your gear, check out our article for info on connecting your devices.

See you on the road.
