TrainerRoad
TrainerRoad is a desktop training platform for cyclists and triathletes that connects to smart trainers, power meters, and other fitness devices to deliver structured indoor workouts and training plans. Users can follow interval-based workouts with real-time feedback, track performance metrics, and sync data with external fitness apps and services. The app is widely used by serious cyclists for winter training, base-building blocks, and competition preparation. TrainerRoad's desktop app currently runs under Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon Macs but has not yet been compiled as a native Universal Binary.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionTrainerRoad is actively maintained and macOS users are already receiving system notifications that "This version will not open in a future release of macOS," indicating the vendor is aware of the issue. A TrainerRoad team member acknowledged in the March 2026 forum discussion that they are "aware of this and have solutions in place," strongly suggesting a native Apple Silicon build is in development. However, the app has not yet been released in native form — the current download still ships the Intel-only version. Check the TrainerRoad website and installer regularly for updates over the coming months. Given that macOS 27 arrives in September 2026 (just four months away) and will drop support for Intel apps entirely, you should monitor TrainerRoad's release notes closely. If no native build has shipped by late August 2026, contact TrainerRoad support directly to confirm their timeline. The good news is that the vendor's public commitment suggests a solution is coming soon.
