As a Purple Patch athlete, you have free unlimited access to our coached workouts!
WHAT ARE COACHED SESSIONS?
Coached sessions amplify training and results with enhanced, immersive, fun and and interactive live and on-demand versions of your existing workouts. There's two different types:
- VOD (Video-On-Demand): these are enhanced video recordings of your workouts with integrated music, graphics, and coaching. You can enjoy a fully-guided version of your session by following along with these videos anytime, anywhere, from any device.
- LIVE CLASS (bike sessions only): these are sessions live-streamed straight from the Purple Patch Performance Center in San Francisco and taught by Matt Dixon. These use two-way video -- you can see Matt (and all the other participants), and they can all see you. You'll receive valuable real-time coaching on your form and technique.
