Find your starting point.
An FTP test includes a sustained 20-minute effort within a guided session. Power coverage matters: an interrupted or incomplete effort should not become a confident FTP estimate.
Rydivo for Apple TV & Android TV
Stay in. Go somewhere.
A rainy evening can still be a good day on the bike. Settle into a focused effort, find your FTP, or follow a real road on the big screen.

A road worth riding.TV / FTMS
An indoor ride with a reason to turn the pedals.
Ride with intent.
Apple TV includes free riding, manual ERG targets, endurance and interval workouts. Power, cadence, time and optional heart rate keep the session easy to follow.
Follow the road.
Scenic route playback follows your progress; compatible FTMS trainers can respond to the route grade. Your effort drives the ride, rather than a video playing at a fixed pace.
Keep a record of the work.
Ride summaries are stored locally. On Apple TV, explicitly send a saved summary to your paired iPhone. Android TV keeps its training history separate from Apple Health.
Two TV platforms. A few useful differences.
Choose the platform in your living room. Stores, route content and training records stay separate.
