Zwift is still in the process of refining the Clubs feature. There’s a good article below on where they’re at:

Currently you must receive an invite to join a club although you can freely join a public club event.
Hope to see everyone on the ride tonight!
FYI for all…unless I was doing it wrong, it won’t let you do a training ride within a club ride. Just like the Tour de Zwift and others, it asks you if you want to “Quit the Workout” to join the ride. So unfortunately you can’t #ftfp and club ride at the same time. Bummer
Ahh, I get what you are saying. Follow a workout as in workout builder where on screen it gives you time to go and target for each part of the ride. Personally I don’t use that function and just know my zones and do the duration of intervals / recovery so just do that during rides / events without the official workout. That is why I was confused.
You can IF you don’t load it up in Zwift. I load the Fascat WO from Trainerroad’s app. It controls the trainer. Then I load Zwift and do not pair controllable – the others are fine. I regularly do a warmup in ERG, then 1 min until the event, join it, and continue riding along in ERG. My iPad or iPhone is controlling the trainer. There are other combinations but the process is similar.
Just in case you didn’t know, when you have a banded ride, I can be doing VO2 while you do Z2, but we stay together on the ride no matter each of our wt/kg, This way we get the social aspect of a group ride, but we also both FtFP. I have no idea if you can do that within Zwift Clubs, just explaining why people usually ask.
Can you add me to the zwift club please
