Garmin acquires TrainingPeaks and TrainHeroic for an undisclosed sum. Garmin could have built the software. It could not have built the coach network.

What a dumb headline.

Since I'm pretty sure this article is written by AI (and even more sure the comments form the "author" are), here's an archive link for those who would prefer that.

Did Garmin buy all of Peaksware?

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

TIL TrainingPeaks' company also does music education.

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

Yes. Nothing announced on 22 July 2026 changes device compatibility. Garmin gave a similar assurance about third-party licensing when it acquired Firstbeat in 2020, and that licensing has since wound down, so the precedent is not entirely reassuring.

Joy…
