How It Works

Syncing Workouts FROM Apple Health

When connected:

  • Any workout you complete on your Apple Watch or record in the Health app
  • Automatically syncs to TrainerPlan (if Auto sync is enabled)
  • Includes: duration, distance, calories, heart rate, and route data
  • Workouts appear in your TrainerPlan calendar as completed sessions

Pushing Workouts TO Apple Watch

When connected:

  • Your scheduled TrainerPlan workouts are automatically sent to your Apple Watch
  • View them in the Workout app on your watch
  • Start workouts directly from your watch with the planned structure
  • Includes intervals, rest periods, and target zones

Troubleshooting

Checkmarks not appearing?

  1. Pull down to refresh the Apple Watch & Health page
  2. Make sure you granted permissions when enabling the connection toggle
  3. If permissions were denied, you’ll need to enable them manually:
    • Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > TrainerPlan
    • Watch app > Workouts > Connected Apps

Workouts not syncing?

  1. Verify Auto sync workouts is enabled
  2. Check that both checkmarks are showing (connected to both Health and Workout app)
  3. Make sure you have an internet connection
  4. Pull down to refresh the page

Wrong workout time?

  • Workouts sync with your device’s local timezone
  • The time shown reflects when you actually completed the workout
  • If traveling, the workout time will match the timezone where you performed it

Need to re-grant permissions?

If you previously denied permissions:

  1. Disable the connection toggle in Settings > Connections
  2. Re-enable it and grant permissions when prompted
  3. Or manually enable in:
    • Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > TrainerPlan
    • Watch app > Workouts > Connected Apps

How to disconnect?

  1. Turn off the toggle in Settings > Connections
  2. This stops all data sync immediately
  3. Optionally revoke permissions in iPhone Settings if desired
