Python3 Official site / Microsoft Store
Powershell Microsoft's Guide
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install zwift-workouts-parser
Launch Powershell and execute this command:
$zwift_workouts_parser = $(python3 -c "import zwift_parser as _; print (' '.join(_.__path__) + '\zwift_parser.py')")
Then we need to set our destination folder, where all the workouts will be stored:
$zwift_workouts_folder = "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Downloads\ZwiftWorkouts"
Important! Replace %USERNAME% with the user name of your PC, or simply copy-paste which you want to use.
But you can choose any arbitrary path for that.
Once it's done, you are ready to download the workouts, copy this command to the Powershell window, but don't execute it yet!
python3 $zwift_workouts_parser -ed $zwift_workouts_folder
Now you can specify all the workout urls you would like to download, separated by a space.
So this what it looks like for a single workout:
python3 $zwift_workouts_parser -ed $zwift_workouts_folder https://whatsonzwift.com/workouts/gravel-grinder
And for multiple workouts:
python3 $zwift_workouts_parser -ed $zwift_workouts_folder https://whatsonzwift.com/workouts/gravel-grinder https://whatsonzwift.com/workouts/30-60-minutes-to-burn https://whatsonzwift.com/workouts/climbing
Once everything is downloaded, you can now put your selected workouts to Zwift workouts folder, usually it's located by this path:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Zwift\Workouts\%SOME_ARBITRARY_NUMBER%.
Hopefully you will find this utility useful!
