Tacx Training
Tacx Training is an indoor cycling app for Mac that connects with Tacx smart trainers for structured workouts, virtual rides, and ride data sync.
What is Tacx Training?
Tacx Training is a health and fitness app for indoor cycling on Mac. It helps riders connect a compatible Tacx smart trainer to run workouts, follow training plans, and ride virtual routes from a desktop setup. The app can display live training metrics such as speed, power, cadence, and heart rate while adjusting trainer resistance to match climbs and descents in supported sessions. It also works with Garmin Connect workflows so completed rides and scheduled workouts can sync across devices. Cyclists commonly use it for structured training at home, immersive route riding, and guided sessions when outdoor riding is not practical. On Mac, it is intended for use with compatible Bluetooth-enabled Tacx trainer hardware.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Tacx Training is legitimate fitness software used with indoor cycling hardware. Access to Bluetooth, internet connectivity, and workout data is normal for its purpose because the app needs to pair with a trainer, stream or download ride content, and sync activity information. If you use cloud syncing, your ride history and related fitness data may be stored with your account. Keep it if you actively train with a Tacx setup, and review its privacy choices if you prefer to limit data sharing.
Recommendation: Keep Tacx Training if you use a Tacx smart trainer or Garmin-connected indoor cycling features on your Mac. If you no longer use the app or trainer, you can remove it; doing so may also remove local downloads, saved preferences, and convenient access to synced workouts on this Mac.
