Health & Wellness Integration

Smarter recovery insights — on iOS and Android

iOS — Apple Health
Android — Wellness Check-Ins

iOS — Apple Health Integration

What We Sync from Apple Health

  • Heart Rate — Live monitoring during rest timers with Apple Watch; see your heart rate recover between sets
  • Sleep — Recovery assessment based on sleep quality and duration from Apple Health or Apple Watch
  • Daily Activity — Step count and energy expenditure to gauge total daily load on your recovery
  • Body Weight — Track weight class progress over time synced from Apple Health

Apple Watch Tips

  • Wear your watch snugly during workouts for accurate heart rate
  • Start a Strength Training workout on your watch for continuous heart rate monitoring
  • Heart rate appears on rest timers automatically when Apple Watch data is available

Note: iPhone alone cannot measure heart rate — Apple Watch is required for live HR monitoring.

Android

Android — Wellness Check-Ins

Privacy-First Wellness Logging

Android doesn't require a third-party health app to track your wellness. Everything is logged directly in MyLiftingCoach — no data leaves your device.

  • Daily Wellness Check-In — Rate your sleep quality, energy, motivation, and joint health before each session
  • Daily Readiness Score — Composite score from your check-in entries guides training intensity for the day
  • Wellness Notes on Rest Timers — Log how you're feeling between sets; the AI coach uses this to adjust recommendations
  • Injury Pain Logging — Report joint discomfort during check-in; the app adapts exercise selection and loading accordingly

No Third-Party App Required

Unlike iOS which syncs with Apple Health, the Android version keeps all wellness data within MyLiftingCoach. This means your sensitive health data never leaves the app, and you don't need Google Fit or any other health service installed.

Both Platforms

AI-Driven Recovery Insights

Regardless of platform, MyLiftingCoach uses your wellness and recovery data to make smarter training decisions:

  • Volume Auto-Regulation — On poor recovery days, the AI may suggest reducing volume or intensity
  • Pain-Based Weight Reduction — Report joint pain and affected exercises automatically reduce load (5–20% based on severity)
  • Smart Exercise Swaps — Shoulder pain? Pressing exercises swap automatically to reduce stress on the affected joint
