Before you start:iPhone and Android app

Connecting Apple Health brings numbers you already track on your iPhone or Apple Watch into Trainnode, such as sleep, steps and body weight. Your coach sees them next to your training, without you typing anything in twice.

  1. Open Apple Health in the app

    Tap your photo on the Home screen to open your profile, then tap Apple Health. Tap Connect.

    The Apple Health screen in the Trainnode app with a Connect button and a note that Trainnode only reads your data.
  2. Choose what to share

    Your iPhone asks which data Trainnode may read. Turn on what you want your coach to see. You can change this later in the Health app.

  3. Pick what syncs

    Back in Trainnode, switch each type of data on or off, such as sleep, steps, weight and resting heart rate. You can also bring in cardio workouts from your Apple Watch (runs, rides, swims and other workouts over five minutes).

  4. See it in Metrics

    Your numbers appear under Metrics in the app, and your coach sees the same numbers on your profile.

    The Metrics screen with average sleep and body weight synced from Apple Health.

Good to know

  • Trainnode only reads. It never writes anything to Apple Health.
  • To stop syncing, open Apple Health in the app and tap Disconnect Apple Health. The data that already synced stays.
  • Didn't get the permission question? Open the iPhone Settings › Privacy & Security › Health › Trainnode and turn the data on there.
  • Android: Apple Health is iPhone only. You can enter your numbers in Metrics by hand.
