Import workouts tacx desktop app

Hi,

Is there any way to import work-out files to the Tacx Desktop App (win10)? I have my own library of erg work-outs (either in .mrc, .zwo or .erg format) which I want to use in the tacx desktop app. So far I only see an option to import .gpx files?

For Zwift this is easy to do (just put the .zwo files in workout folder), which is the reason I've been using Zwift instead of tacx (but would like to switch, this is the only thing that's holding me back).

Thanks!

Michiel

Hi Michiel

Did you find a solution for this? Also have workouts in TrainingPeaks but its a pain to manually create them in the Tacx app.

Does somebody have an update or work around on this? Still no way to use erg files in the Tacx desktop app?

I am looking for this too! I guess I will load my workout on to my Garmin 520 and just ride. Figure it out as I go. Seems this is a huge weakness of the platform. I can't imagine why they don't have the ability to upload workouts from Tridot, Trainer Read or other platforms!

Switched to BigRingVR. Very easy to import workouts and ride with videos. Video quality is very good.

Yeah bigringvr is a goos alternative. Also rouvy and fulgaz have this option. I will be sticking with one of those. Seems like such an eash feature to implement, but asusual, garmin doesnt listen to their community. Pity that tacx didnt remain independent.

Hi, any solution to this? I too use Zwift for this purpose, uploading workouts is easy in that platform. I would really appreciate a solution for Tacx.

I think it is a shame Garmin! But then again, they have never listened to their customers so why start now?

Anyway, the workaround I use: couple my Trainingpeaks and Garmin accounts, put the appropriate workout on the current day in the TrainingPeaks calendar, and it will be available on my Garmin Edge 1030+. Couple my Edge to my Neo2 and I can do the workout in ERG mode. Very basic, no scenery, just the legs and the sweating. Meanwhile I usually listen to a podcast or watch some movie.

Sort of works, but again: Shame on you Garmin for not having this feature in the Training app.

Any solution? I really would like to import my own gpx files, and then save those as regular rides. Now i can only ride them immediately upon uploading, but am not able to access thereafter..
