Zwift Camp: Breakthrough announced, begins April 6. March 30, 2026 LAST UPDATED March 31, 2026 Table of Contents This season, Zwift is leaning heavily into the Zwift Camp concept, launching a three-camp series that kicked off with Zwift Camp: Baseline in September. Next week (Monday, April 6), the third and final Camp of the season begins. Named "Zwift Camp: Breakthrough", it's a 5-stage workout series all about helping you transition to outdoor riding. Dive into all the details below! Breakthrough basics. After Zwift Camp: Baseline showed Zwift Insider its power bests across various intervals, and Zwift Camp: Build pushed Zwift Insider to get stronger, Zwift Camp: Breakthrough is here to help Zwift Insider transition confidently into outdoor riding. The Camp consists of five different workouts, spread across five weeks. You can finish each workout once and complete the Camp, but you can also do a workout multiple times if you're looking for additional training. Instead of targeting power intervals like the first two camps, ZC: Breakthrough workouts target your technique while helping you build enduring fitness: * Stage 1: Foundations * Stage 2: Body Control * Stage 3: Cadence Mastery * Stage 4: Standing Skills * Stage 5: Flow Session Workouts + schedule. Stages can be completed as on-demand (solo) efforts whenever you'd like, or you can join a scheduled group event. * Stage 1: April 6-12 * Foundations: Good posture and a cleaner pedal stroke save you tons of energy. It's how you make outdoor rides feel effortless. The workout reinforces "calm control" while you build sustainable fitness with mostly steady work, then finishes by sharpening leg speed so you can stay smooth across different cadences. * Unlock: Oakley Velo Kato Glasses * Route: Triple Twist * Stage 2: April 13-19 * Body Control: Riding outdoors is all about tiny adjustments. When your position changes, staying steady is what keeps rides calm and efficient. The workout guides riders through hand-position changes, one-leg focus drills, and calm upper-body control so adjustments feel natural, not messy, and you stay efficient and confident outside. * Unlock: Princeton Wake 6560 Wheels Lava Red Colorway * Route: Island Hopper * Stage 3: April 20-26 * Cadence Mastery: Zwift Insider is teaching cadence adaptability: staying smooth and in control even when rhythm changes (wind, terrain, surges, group pace). The workout emphasizes switching between higher and lower stroke speeds while keeping power steady, so outdoor riding feels composed instead of chaotic. * Unlock: Pinarello Dogma F 2024 Starry Red Colorway * Route: Green to Screen * Stage 4: April 27-May 3 * Standing Skills: The goal is to make standing feel just as smooth and confident as sitting. The workout focuses on clean seated-to-standing transitions while maintaining control, building confidence for rollers, small rises, quick changes in pace, and "stretch-and-reset" moments outdoors. * Route: Gentil 8 * Stage 5: May 4-10 * Flow Session: The "put it all together" capstone. This is practice for the real world - you're training control, not just fitness. Posture, pedal stroke, cadence control, and standing transitions blended into one steady, outdoor-ready rhythm. The script positions it as the final integration - helping riders feel calm, smooth, and capable when roads, terrain, and pace change. * Unlock: Zwift Camp: Breakthrough Kit * Route: Big Flat 8 * Make-Up Events: May 11-17 Each stage is a week long, with events beginning at 9am PST on Monday and scheduled hourly on the hour until 8am PST the following Monday. Progressive unlocks. Four unlocks are available as you work your way through Zwift Camp: Breakthrough: * Complete Stage 1: Oakley Velo Kato glasses * Complete Stage 2: Lava Red Colorway for Princetown Carbonworks Wake 6560 wheels* * Complete Stage 3: Starry Red Colorway for Pinarello Dogma F 2024 frame* * Complete all 5 Stages: Zwift Camp: Breakthrough cycling kit *These unlocks are for colorways only. You must still purchase the base Princetown Carbonworks Wake 6560 wheels and Pinarello Dogma F 2024 frame in the DropShop.

2 bold Peloton scrapped products here's what members need to know. Last Updated: March 27, 2026 Kettlebell workouts By Nikki Smith Tags: Business, New Products, peter stern In the past year, Peloton scrapped products quietly but deliberately, and a March 2026 Bloomberg report pulled back the curtain on two initiatives that will not become a reality for members: a clip-on camera upgrade kit designed to retrofit older hardware with AI capabilities, and an in-development immersive gaming platform codenamed Project Kinetic that would have put Peloton in direct competition with Zwift. Both cancellations reflect a company that is actively choosing what it will and will not be under CEO Peter Stern. Why Peloton scrapped the camera upgrade kit. The camera upgrade kit was designed to let owners of older Peloton equipment attach a clip-on camera to their devices, giving legacy hardware access to the same Peloton IQ AI-powered form-tracking features built into the newer Cross Training lineup. According to Bloomberg, Peloton leaders ultimately concluded that too much of the legacy system would need to be replaced, making it impractical for customers to swap out the necessary parts on their own. Members who were hoping to see an AI camera kit for legacy equipment will need to consider purchasing hardware from Peloton's Cross Training lineup. That is a legitimate engineering constraint. Peloton's older devices were built on a software foundation that predates the company's current investment in AI and computer vision. The newer Cross Training lineup integrates camera and AI capabilities at the hardware level from the start, which is a fundamentally different architecture than trying to bolt those features onto equipment that was never designed for them. Rather than release something that would have likely frustrated members with a clunky or incomplete experience, leadership chose to move on. For members who want AI form feedback and rep counting, the current path is to upgrade to one of Peloton's newer Cross Training devices. It is not the answer many legacy hardware owners were hoping for, but it does reflect a "get it right or do not ship it" philosophy. Project Kinetic: Peloton's scrapped products list gets a big one. The second of these Peloton scrapped products is arguably the more surprising one for the community. Project Kinetic was Peloton's internal codename for an immersive, gamified cycling platform designed to compete directly with Zwift. The concept was compelling: a virtual world where a rider's avatar would respond in real time to their actual pedaling cadence and resistance output. Bloomberg confirmed that CEO Peter Stern officially shelved Project Kinetic, determining that it would not serve as a meaningful growth engine for the company. The stated direction under Stern is a focus on what Bloomberg describes as "utilitarian health outcomes" rather than digital gaming experiences. Project Kinetic had real history with the Peloton community. The platform had been in beta testing for nearly two years before it was quietly discontinued in fall 2025. At the time, members in the beta program did not know whether the silence meant a pivot toward a full launch or the beginning of the end. Now the answer is clear. Zwift has spent years building a devoted community around social, gamified cycling in virtual environments. Peloton explored that same territory, tested it with real members, and then walked away. The message from leadership is clear: Peloton sees its competitive advantage in instructor-led coaching and measurable fitness outcomes, not in digital avatars. What Peloton's scrapped products reveal about the stern strategy. Both of these Peloton scrapped products are part of a broader pattern that Bloomberg outlined in its March 13, 2026 report. Stern has been systematically eliminating hardware and software "moonshot" initiatives that do not connect directly to his overall roadmap. The financial stakes make the prioritization decisions easy to understand. Stern's Efficiency Initiative has been ramped up to a $200 million annualized cost-savings goal, with the full realization of those savings targeted by the end of fiscal year 2026 to put Peloton on a path to sustained profitability. Part of how the company is reaching that number includes shifting engineering operations to Poland and enterprise back-office operations to India. Every engineering hour redirected away from a camera retrofit or a gaming platform is an hour that can be applied to equipment, Peloton IQ development, or GLP-1 member acquisition efforts that Stern has identified as the actual growth drivers. Kettlebell workouts Bloomberg also notes that the budgets for both the camera kit and Project Kinetic have been formally zeroed out in Peloton's 2026 to 2027 product roadmap, making this a de facto permanent cancellation even if Peloton has not issued a formal public statement on either project. What the Peloton scrapped products mean for members. If you were hoping for a camera upgrade path for your older Peloton Bike or Tread, that door appears to be closed. Members who want AI-powered form tracking and rep counting will need to look at purchasing the current Cross Training lineup. If you were part of the Project Kinetic beta and enjoyed the experience, you will need to look elsewhere for that gamified virtual riding fix. Zwift remains the category leader in that space and works with Peloton hardware for members who want to explore that route. Neither piece of news is what many members were hoping to hear. But both decisions point to a company that is at least being clear about where it is placing its bets. Under Peter Stern, Peloton is building toward health outcomes and coaching quality. Whether that focused strategy wins members back at scale remains the bigger question for 2026 and beyond. These Peloton scrapped products may ultimately be remembered as the moment the company stopped trying to be everything and committed to being great at one thing.

Latest Zwift updates include: Paris map expansion, virtual gravel environment and integration with users' outdoor activities. March 24, 2026 Online fitness platform Zwift has unveiled its product roadmap for the 2026 season. New updates include a significant expansion to its Paris map, a dedicated gravel environment, and the integration of outdoor activity tracking. The updates, which begin rolling out this month, focus on bridging the gap between indoor training and outdoor performance as the Northern hemisphere moves into the summer season. Paris expansion and Tour Fever The Paris map, originally created for the Virtual Tour de France, is set for its first major expansion on June 26, 2026. Zwift is adding the Montmartre climb, mimicking a finishing circuit used in real-world professional racing. Here, athletes will be able to tackle a virtual cobbled ascent to the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre. To coincide with the professional road season, the 'Tour Fever Challenge' will run from July 2, 2026 to August 16, 2026. The six-week event includes five stages of rides and races, offering five new badges within the updated Paris environment. Gravel Mountain and PAS Racing Series On April 6, 2026, Zwift will launch 'Gravel Mountain', its first map dedicated exclusively to gravel segments. The event-only map features a red rock environment with specific route features such as corner berms and ultra-wide roads designed for loose-surface simulation. The launch is supported by the PAS Racing Series, a four-stage collaboration with Pas Normal Studios running from April 6, 2026 to May 3, 2026. The series will utilise both the new Gravel Mountain routes and existing gravel paths in Zwift's Makuri Islands virtual world. To support this, the Zwift Drop Shop is adding 18 new bikes and 13 wheelsets throughout the spring/summer period, with an initial focus on gravel technology. Outdoor integration and planning tools A significant shift in the platform's strategy involves the integration of outdoor data. Starting this summer, 'Zwift Challenges' will allow for completion through both indoor and outdoor activities. To participate, users must connect accounts from third-party hardware providers such as Wahoo, Garmin, or Hammerhead. The Zwift Companion app is also receiving updates this month. A new planning feature allows users to schedule workouts, routes, and events in a weekly calendar. Additionally, the 'Personalized Recommendations' tool will now include 'Outdoor Recommendations' to provide basic guidance on how to structure rides in the real world. Performance and progression updates For athletes focused on structured training, a May update will allow for the customisation of the Heads-Up Display (HUD) during workouts. Users can select up to four data fields from 13 biometric points, including cadence, power-to-weight ratio (W/kg), and core temperature. Zwift is also increasing the progression caps for both disciplines. The cycling level cap, previously set at 100, is being lifted to provide hundreds of additional levels. Runners will see their maximum level increase from 30 to 50. "At Zwift, we know fun fuels results," the company said in a statement. The new content aims to support the transition to summer miles through 'Zwift Camp: Breakthrough', a five-workout series running from April 6, 2026 to May 17, 2026, which focuses on technique for outdoor riding.
