lnomm34, What do I actually need to run Zwift? I have a few road bikes, but I've never had any type of trainer. i was looking at getting Kinetic Road Machine and running the app through apple TV.
I see so much info on power meters and cadence meters, and TBH, I have not clue on this stuff.
Thanks!

Not too familiar with that Kinetic but it looks fairly basic. Max incline is only 10% and I dont think you get power or cadence either.
Any of the wheel-off smart trainers would be a little better route, but also a bit more expensive. They will give you higher inclines, better accuracy, and power/cadence etc

You really don’t want a wheel-on trainer. You’d be much better off with a direct drive trainer (where you take your rear wheel off).
Tacx, Wahoo, and CycleOps/Saris are the leading brands. There are various models with various power accuracies, etc. Take a look at DC Rainmaker’s Trainer Guide
To run Zwift, download the app and it’s a monthly subscription at $15/month. You can run it on PC, Mac, Apple TV, iPad, or even iPhone. The experience is much better on bigger screen. I run Zwift on an Apple TV plugged into a 50” TV.
I hope that helps point you in a direction. Let me know if you have more questions!
