Thinking about buying your first Sufferfest, but not sure which one is for you?
First of all, congratulations for refusing to accept boring trainer workouts, bad music and lame video. And good for you that you want to drive yourself into the ground racing against the pros. Well done. Let’s see….where to start if you’re not sure which to buy?
- You are: Someone who has never done a Sufferfest, aren’t super-fit and isn’t ready for intervals at nearly maximum effort. Start with: Fight Club. The efforts in Fight Club aren’t as intense as in the other videos, which tend to have shorter intervals. There are a lot of attacks in Fight Club that could make you cry, so just ignore them during the first few times you use the video and gradually introduce them.
- You are: A super-fit racer who knows a thing or two about Suffering and is training to race. Start with: Fight Club. The attacks are great race simulation. Then go for Revolver. Then do them back-to-back.
- You are: Looking for high-intensity, structured intervals to make you go faster. Start with: The Downward Spiral or Revolver.
- You are: A lunch-time warrior and have only 60 minutes to get on that bike, workout and take a shower. Start with: Revolver. The workout is about 45minutes (you’ll be very glad about that as the workout is very intense), so you’ll have time to get into the shower and back to the desk.
If you’re still not sure, just drop me a line at david @ thesufferfest and I’ll help you out!










you are.. one of those weird cyclists who swims before and runs afterwards… do downward spiral or revolver as an over/under session (or, do both after each other)
The Greatest workout all round, choose any one. But better to have all of them.
The only problem is we need some climbing ( Hurry up !!!! )
You are: Completely mental, have no regard for your physical well being, and don’t mind being found weeping on your bike. Start with: The triple.
Sufferfest: For the discerning masochist.
