Love it or hate it, indoor training is unavoidable for many of us! Especially if we want to maintain our training when the weather is less than desirable outside. Some triathletes even swear by it – you can get your head down and get some good quality cycling in.
But what should you wear for an indoor workout?! It’s not as simple as you may think! A lot of our normal cycling clothing is designed for cycling outdoors and often keeping you warm. Wearing the same gear indoors can result in overheating, and hamper the quality of your session.
Even with a great fan setup, that alone is going to struggle to fully replicate the outdoors in terms of removing your sweat and keeping your body at an optimum temperature to perform. This is where it is important to look to clothing that will wick the sweat away from your skin, and allow your body to cool. This may sound counterintuitive, particularly if you’re used to wearing nothing on your top, but we are in fact suggesting you opt for a layer to help cool yourself more.

Good point about acclimatisation – not just when you're going to South Africa. Using the turbo in the summer, I went from "absolutely cannot handle heat" to "finishes an Olympic at 30 degrees Celcius with a smile on the face". Next year I spent the summer riding outside only – sure enough, the run leg of a hot race was once again a disaster. The turbo is great for running in summer conditions even in Northern countries.
I usually go bib shorts with the straps hanging down (ie, not over my shoulders) and no shirt. All about not sweating to death.
Never looked at indoor training like that… I'll definitely give those clothing tips a try. Thanks GTN!
Nice 😀
Inside it’s shorts (not bib) and no shirt.
i wear nothing on turbo. i dont use fan or air-conditioning though
you have a beautiful bike
you needed help form assos ???? Really ??? Stop
Great Video!
Can't wait to see when you guys get gtn branded tri kit. That's gonna look so cool
The URL for this video should be provided with each turbo trainer purchase.
It took until I had a power meter to realise that I was overheating and couldn't hit the same numbers indoors. Smarter clothing choices and a better fan was the solution.
I spend quite a lot of time on the indoor trainer. I bought a lot of padded undershorts on ebay that I can use in rotation. There are really cheap, very cool and no one is looking.
Mesh tanks double as great red light district attire.
When i'm training indoors i just wear my underwear lol just sayin' hahha
The answer is extremely obvious: you wear your oldest run down kit which you don't wear outside because it's in bad shape. You cool yourself with a fan, clothing doesn't particularly matter.
tri shorts nothing on top and no fan…if I'm going to suffer I might as well suffer properly
Could you do a video for spectacle wearers? I can't use contact lenses anymore, so I need to go back to glasses. I have some troulbe now. For instance I can't find a aero helmet with visor who allows me to wear glasses. I dunno if there is a helmet who provides enough space for it. Same for the side pices of glasses, sometimes they collide with the helmet.
I have a decent ish bike and would like to get a stand for it so I can train indoors. Do you guys recommend anything?
What do you choose to wear on the turbo? 🚴
