Cyclists Stopped Guessing Why They Weren’t Getting Faster. Here’s What They Found.
Discover how one ring and one app turn “I’m doing everything and nothing’s changing” into a plan that finally knows.
The old way:
Every device you own was built to record. Not one of them was built to decide.
- ✕Try HarderSame hours, same number, so you add intensity. Hard every day is where FTP goes to sit still.
- ✕Guess the Rest DayNothing tells you which morning your body can take a hard session. You find out a week later, when the legs go.
- ✕A Plan Written on SundayIt doesn’t know Tuesday happened. Bad night, same intervals.
- ✕Food in a Different AppOr nowhere. The plan has never seen a meal, so it can’t tell you fuelling is what’s holding the number down.
The new way:
One ring. One app. One morning number that knows all three.
- ✓Reads the NightThe ring is on every night. Sleep, heart-rate trends and skin temperature go straight into the morning.
- ✓Knows the LoadThis week’s training is already in the app. The number carries what you’re carrying.
- ✓Knows the FuelLog by photo, barcode, or tell Marco. Food is in the call.
- ✓Proposes, You ApproveMarco suggests tomorrow’s session and the week reflows around it. Nothing moves without you.

In 2026 there was no product on the market that could see every necessary data point, tie it all together, and give you one consolidated feedback loop. So we built one.
HELIOS is a titanium ring small, light and comfortable enough that you’ll actually wear it 24/7. It reads your sleep, your heart-rate trends, your blood oxygen and your skin temperature every night, and feeds all of it straight into THRIVE. That’s the part that matters.
Marco is the coach inside it. He runs on a powerful paid model, not a free bolt-on, and he's trained on leading sports scientists, cycling studies and coaches.
The Plan Changes When Your Sleep Does
In 2019 a controlled study on well-trained cyclists split riders into two groups for eight weeks: one on a fixed, pre-written plan, one whose plan was adjusted every day to their own recovery. The adjusted group improved peak power, threshold power and a 40-minute time trial. The fixed group didn’t improve significantly. THRIVE does the adjusting, every morning, and asks first.
- Nightly read from the ring: sleep, HRV trend, resting heart rate, skin temperature
- Morning proposal from Marco; you approve
- Week rebuilt when a session moves
Eat for the Session, Not the Same Every Day
A 2018 paper in Sports Medicine described “fuel for the work required”: carbohydrate matched to what each session demands. Under-fuel the hard days and the training doesn’t convert into performance. Your fuel plan lives in the same app as your training plan, so it changes when the plan does.
- Fuel targets built to each session
- Log by photo, barcode, saved meals, or by telling Marco
- Fuel is in the morning number
The Bike Computer Is Already in Your Pocket
THRIVE’s ride mode runs on your phone: climbs, estimated power, cadence, heart rate, routes, group rides, flyovers of your route, and a post-ride breakdown that feeds straight back into the plan. Nothing to pair, nothing to charge on the bars.
- Full-screen ride metrics and navigation
- Climbing Mode
- Post-ride breakdown feeds recovery and the plan

Abraham A., verified buyer
Eighteen months at the same number, adding volume every block.
The plan moved my hard days to the mornings I’d actually recovered. Number moved in six weeks.
I’d tried harder.“I’d tried harder. I hadn’t tried recovering.”
EZ Gonzalez, verified buyer
Green week in the app, wrecked in real life.
The morning number knew before I did. It proposed the easy day and I stopped digging holes.
First thing I’ve owned“First thing I’ve owned that told me what to do, not what I did.”
Dominique P., verified buyer
Ate the same on rest days and interval days.
Fuel targets change with the session. Stopped fading at the two-hour mark.
Food was the third thing.“Food was the third thing. Nothing else I owned even asked.”
