Five Stars On Xert: What It Takes To Get to Pro Level, Part One
I’m excited to announce that my coached client, Dr. Kyle Keeter, has gotten to Five Stars Training Status on Xert! A Five Star Training Status is the result of A LOT of work on the bike! This means that his training volume, per his daily and accumulated “XSS” (Xert Strain Scores) values, has […]
Xert In a Crit: Prime Win and Victory!
Travis Pope is a big guy with a big engine. He loves to ride, loves to race, loves Xert, and he loves to train with it. He has been a client for years, but has suffered several crashes that left him on the sidelines. It also affected his training consistency.

“On The Fly” FTP: Using Xert’s What’s My FTP App On Your Garmin
Not even a month ago, Xert by Baron BioSystems, released What’s My FTP? on the Garmin Connect IQ ecosystem.

I’m always skeptical about new product claims, but given Xert’s incredibly short but solid track record of apps that are dead-nuts on, I decided to give What’s My FTP a try. I put it to work for two of my clients, and all I can say is Wow—the results are incredible!
Now let’s show you how to get the same results for yourself.
