CycleMasters, a Netherlands–based leader in live and on-demand indoor cycling workouts, needed a single, high-quality Player to support rapid growth and deliver a consistent experience across web, iOS and Android. Their priorities included customizable UI, frame-accurate seeking, faster load times and high-quality streaming to serve users in studios and at home across 40+ countries and 2,500 fitness centers.
