Question 1

Did Garmin buy TrainingPeaks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Garmin announced on 22 July 2026 that it had acquired TrainingPeaks and TrainHeroic from Peaksware Holdings. Around 120 staff in Louisville, Colorado join Garmin.

Question 2

How much did Garmin pay for TrainingPeaks?

Garmin did not disclose the financial terms. Peaksware Holdings is privately held, and Garmin also withheld the price for MYLAPS in 2025 and Firstbeat in 2020.

Question 3

Did Garmin buy all of Peaksware?

Accepted Answer

No. Garmin acquired TrainingPeaks and TrainHeroic. Peaksware retains MakeMusic, Alfred Music and Fons, its music education businesses.

Question 4

Does TrainingPeaks still work with Wahoo, Polar, Coros and Suunto devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nothing announced on 22 July 2026 changes device compatibility. When Garmin acquired Firstbeat in 2020, it continued licensing the analytics to rival manufacturers, which is the closest precedent available.

No pricing change was announced. Coach Edition, athlete Premium and the per-athlete upgrade charge all continue as before. Garmin has not said whether TrainingPeaks will be folded into Connect+.

Question 6

What happens to my coach?

Accepted Answer

Nothing was announced that affects coach accounts. Rosters, the training plan marketplace and Coach Match continue to operate.

Yes. WKO is the TrainingPeaks desktop analysis package, sold as a one-off purchase, and it transfers with the business.

Question 8

Does Garmin now own Training Stress Score and Normalized Power?

Accepted Answer

TSS, Training Stress Score, NP, Normalized Power, IF and Intensity Factor are registered trademarks of TrainingPeaks LLC and pass to Garmin with the acquisition. Garmin does not use them in its own products, because Garmin Training Load runs on Firstbeat EPOC modelling.

What is TrainHeroic?

TrainHeroic was founded in 2012 and is based in Louisville, Colorado. It supplies strength and conditioning software for programming gym sessions, managing clients in person and remotely, and selling training programmes through a coach marketplace.
