Out with the old, in with the new: Buy a new JARVIS and get a credit from the trade-in of your old MagneticDays cycling roller!

Trade-in your old MDE 4/25 or 6/30 roller and get a credit for the purchase of a new JARVIS or JARVIS Light. The credit obtained for the trade-in will be deducted from the direct or Smart Rent purchase of a new MagneticDays smart trainer.

The evaluation depends on the device, the model, and the condition of the trade-in product.

We only require the customer to answer the questions accurately during the telephone evaluation with the manager, after which the quote and options for purchasing the new home trainer will be communicated.
The service only covers the exchange of older models of original MagneticDays rollers for the purchase of a new generation MD smart trainer. The offer does not include the purchase or take-back of other roller models from the range, or from other manufacturers.

For those who are interested in buying used equipment, we would like to remind you that the MD Retail Outlet is active, the showcase where, based on availability, guaranteed reconditioned items are published: these products are overhauled and subjected to an official reconditioning process, where they are required to pass the same functional tests carried out on all new MD products launched on the market.

Why give up on your indoor workouts, even for just a few days when you need a support service?

That is why a new service has been created for all MagneticDays customers: the Courtesy JARVIS.
If your smart trainer needs a service of any kind from the Service MD, whether for an overhaul with periodic recalibration or for a repair, we provide a replacement JARVIS on prior request at a convenient and low price.

All our service operations that require the return of the product to the workshop are carried out in a very short time (except for rare major repairs), taking an average of 5 to 7 working days (for support in Italy), depending on the time it takes to collect the product and send it back to the customer.

If the client needs the device to be able to continue his training programme without skipping any sessions, it’s possible to request and receive a courtesy roller to use for the duration of the service. When the customer’s repaired JARVIS leaves our workshops, a request will be made to the courier to pick up the replacement JARVIS.

Courtesy JARVIS | Service fee

The price for renting the courtesy trainer is €120,00.
The fee includes shipping and return of the replacement trainer.

The price quoted includes VAT.

MagneticDays Customer Service

As our customers already know, we always do our best to find answers to the questions we are asked, and to offer the best support service possible. To help solve small problems or find answers to many of our customers’ common questions, we would like to remind you that our complementary online support systems are always available:

• the Help Centre, where many tools are collected to help our customers solve hardware or software problems
• the entire Video Tutorial section on our MDVIDEO.TV platform
• the  Forum MD where you can find answers, ask questions and get in touch with other people who use MD products
• the MagneticDays Club Facebook group where you can exchange opinions and information with the rest of the community

 

 

• have the JARVIS firmware update to version 36
• have the MD WiFi App updated to version 3.2.0
• have an MD heart rate monitor or other belt that can record RR interval*
• sit still for 3 minutes before the training begins, to monitor the basal level
• sit still for 3 minutes after the training ends, to see the difference from the baseline
• have at least 80% of the data reading available (the App provides this indication by changing the color of the HRV icon during training: RED for insufficient data, YELLOW for average sufficient data, GREEN for sufficient data)**

*The RR interval is the time between one heartbeat and the next, expressed in milliseconds.

**Data reading refers to the optimal heart rate reading while wearing a heart rate monitor.

The new heart rate variability analysis function is included by default for all HTT workouts. But it’s only valid once. In all other cases (repetition of the same HTT workout, self-managed or self-calibrating workout, own workout or workout received from other Coaches), it is available after purchasing a specific package of 20 analyzes from the online shop for €25. It will be up to the user to choose which training to analyze. On the “activities” page of your personal account, you can will see the number of analyzes available.

 

The heart rate variability (HRV) analysis in indoor training with JARVIS smart trainer

“Heart rate variability – explains MD Coach Luca Bianchini – has been a consolidated parameter for quite some time. In recent years, thanks to research and the development of new software, it’s been possible to dig deeper into its characteristics. Adding the heart rate variability analysis in indoor training with JARVIS smart trainer MagneticDays – continues Coach Bianchini – allows you to have an additional evaluation tool on monitoring training and on controlling the athlete’s recovery. The post-training analysis allows you to identify other parameters such as respiratory frequency and / or quantification of the internal load“.

Variabilità CARDIACA

 

It is now a fact that video content is taking up more and more space in the digital communication of small and large companies alike. The pandemic, of course, played a big role in this, as companies were forced to reorganize ideas and find new ways of working, aiming to find new and interesting contents to offer. During the lockdown, in full boom of requests for trainers and smart trainers, we faced the possibility of keeping in touch with the many users of JARVIS by doing Facebook live training sessions on Sundays, during which one of our Coaches executed a self-managed training together with the virtual company of many “magnetics”, in Italy and abroad.

After this positive experience, we realized that we could do even more. This is how MD LIVE TRAINING was born: the indoor training bike and online entertainment format created by MagneticDays to accompany users and smart trainer enthusiasts during the winter 2020 – spring 2021 season. The forty episodes, which went live on our Facebook page, saw not only many friends of cycling and triathlon training with us, but also great names in Italian sports such as Damiano Cunego, Alessandro Vanotti, Luca Gregorio, Nico Valsesia, Wladimir Belli, Riccardo Magrini, Antonio Rossi and Jury Chechi.

The 2021/2022 indoor season begins with the birth of MD VIDEO TV, the MagneticDays streaming channel where you can find lots of videos (both free and for sale): from indoor training with one of our Coaches to technical content. In this initial phase the first seasons of two formats are already available: MD LIVE TRAINING 2020/2021 and TRAIN WITH THE COACH. The latter collects 8 indoor workouts aimed at all users of trainers and smart trainers, accompanied by MD Coach Massimiliano Sellini who will guide you in the discovery of the HTT methodology, the maximum training customization available on the market today.

The MagneticDays Head Coach Simone Buracchi introduces another one fundamental cycling exercise of HTT Methodology of Training: THRESHOLD WITH STRENGHT.

“This particular exercise works on watts at the threshold, with particular regard about VO2max during the strenght workouts. Generally, the watts at the threshold are reached by an increase of Newtons (optimal conditions for the athlete), with a consequent reduction in cadence to keep the wattage unchanged and stimulate the production of strenght over time. The Newton “command” of JARVIS smart trainer ensures that the result is fully achieved.”

 

From 2020, July 27 MagneticDays has obtained the CE certification for J-BIKE as a medical device for rehabilitation purposes in dry conditions, intended for rehab use under medical supervision and/or health professionals. The J-BIKE Bio is different in terms of functions and applications than the classic one, but it maintains all the performance characteristics of JARVIS training system: “The Bio MagneticDays Project brings JARVIS smart trainer to be an instrument that satisfy both the needs of scientific research and medical rehabilitation – CEO MD Marco Sbragi said – starting from the study of dry mechanics.”

The Bio MagneticDays Project includes a work model for the rehabilitation in water and this is the result of a partnership companies from different but synergic industries (precision mechanics, aerospace and railway mechanics, electronics and medicine) with the active collaboration of Pisa University(Faculty of Medicine and Department of Cardiology) regarding the incremental test protocols, collection of data and its scientific validation: “The aquatic environment have characteristic features as anti-gravity and water pressure (that improves with the profundity) – CEO MD continues – so we also developed W-BIKE (Water-Bike), an exerimental model for the rehabilitation in water that represent the best solution for the obese persons and all of who are strongly obstructed to face any workload – in dry condition – with continuity.”

J-BIKE Bio by MagneticDays is the new indoor cycle bike CE certified for medical rehab. It represents a new frontier in cycling for rehabilitation purposes used only by healthcare professionals authorized to practice cycling training protocols for medical and physical rehabilitation. The use of the J-BIKE Bio is recommended for patients who have metabolic and/or vascular problems (in whom controlled physical activity promotes the gradual recovery of normal metabolic and physiological functions), and all of who have undergone trauma or injuries of various kinds to the lower limbs and geriatric ones with limited motor functions.

The MagneticDays Head Coach Simone Buracchi introduces another one fundamental cycling exercise of HTT Methodology of Training: THE CYCLING PROGRESSION AT FIXED VALUE OF NEWTON (WITH INCREASE OF WATT + RPM).

“Cadence increases as force (load applied to your pedals) increases, under indoor and outdoor conditions. In this case (as shown in the graph below), pedalling frequency and Watts increase (rec circle) but not the force applied to your pedals (Newton) that remains unvaried (fixed value of Newton at the threshold as shown in the yellow circle). What do we mean when we talk about Cycling Progression at fixed value of Newton? The purpose of this type of cycling exercise (that can only be done with JARVIS smart trainer) is to work separately on Force and Cadence in a focused way. Generally (outdoor conditions), cadence increases (with the same bike gear ratio) of 5 Watts for 1 pedalling that are equally distributed between Newton and RPM. In this case – as shown in the graph below – the value of Newton is fixed and Watts increase of 3 for 1 pedalling. So, the cardio-respiratory system works more than the muscular one if necessary to rebalance these two components.”

Training indoor in Dubai? We talked about with David Labouchere, a top age-grouper (55-59) in long course triathlon, who told his personal experience with MagneticDays smart trainer. He came from a background of rugby and running for fitness, and found Ironman racing only when he was 47 years old. David has now been competing for 10 years and while he has a recent two hour Olympic PB, he prefers to race long. He was 10th in age in Ironman World Championship in 2018 and allowing for a 45 second “mechanical” when he lost his chain, he had the fastest bike leg. He is again qualified (for the sixth time) for the IMWC this year and hopes to podium!

Training indoor in Dubai

Now David lives and trains in Dubai where he owns a gym, a coffee shop and a sports therapy centre. But what is the best way to train in Dubai? Average temperatures in the Middle East at this time of the year are in excess of 40°C, so David either rides at night, or indoor on a trainer, or both. He has a JARVIS MagneticDays smart trainer and believes it to be the best bike trainer for him. It is quiet and accurate and he loves the separation of Power (Watt) by Force (Nm) and Acceleration (RPM) as he is looking for every small advantage in the lead up to his race in Kona this year. David also enjoys the variety of scientifically designed workouts available to him and feels that this eliminates any junk km from his 20-28 hours of training each week.

“Some athletes give up triathlon for the summer in Dubai – David said – others become nocturnal but even then they don’t get full value from their training hours as the heat lingers in the desert. The answer is a top bike trainer, but for me there is only one, MagneticDays smart trainer.”

The indoor cycling concept in UAE and MagneticDays experience: 3 questions for David Labouchere

We asked 3 questions to David Labouchere – one of the first triathlete to test MagneticDays smart trainer in Dubai – with the goal to understand the indoor cycling concept in UAE:

1. What’s your idea of indoor cycling and training indoor for a triathlete? Training indoor concentrates training value into the shortest possible time. And if it’s a quality training, then it becomes an important weapon for an athlete who lives and trains in a place where the climate is one of the main factors that influences every workout.
2. In your personal opinion, how an indoor training plan with MagneticDays smart trainer can improve the cycling performance? I’m not yet sure, but it feels like the JARVIS is serving up a very specific, personal menu of work designed for me and my physiology, rather than a general solution.
3. What were your first impressions after trying MagneticDays smart trainer? Wow! All of these data are the key. They are accurate and addictive!
