Why does a Smart Turbo Trainer connect to my computer?

ANT+ is Garmin’s alternative to Bluetooth.

It is the technology that a Smart Turbo Trainer uses to communicate with compatible training apps and is a wireless method of monitoring data, such as heart rate, breathing rate, calories etc.

This information can be fed back into a computer or tablet to provide a more personalised training plan, as well as to help you track your performance on a week-by-week basis.
