How to enable Apple Watch during a workout
When a client taps Start Workout while Workout Access permission is turned off, a pop-up will appear on their phone informing them that Workout Access needs to be enabled to start the workout on their Apple Watch.
The workout will still start normally on the client’s phone regardless of this pop-up.
Note: Make sure your Apple Watch is unlocked and close to your iPhone. The pop-up will only appear once these conditions are met.
To turn on Workout access:
Tap "Go to Settings" on the pop-up (or open the iPhone Settings app directly).
Go to Apps > Health > Data Access & Devices.
Select Everfit.
Under "Allow Everfit to write", turn on "Workouts".
Tip: While you’re there, also turn on “Active Energy” and “Heart Rate” under “Allow Everfit to Read.” This allows Everfit to sync Calories Burned and Heart Rate data for the workout.
Once Workout access is turned on, this pop-up will no longer appear on future workouts, and the workout will sync properly to Apple Watch. Tapping "Not now" on the pop-up simply dismisses it and the workout continues as normal.
Once the Everfit app is open on the watch, the client can monitor their heart rate during the workout. By tapping on the heart rate icon, they can see which heart rate zone they are in.
View the workout summary
After completing the workout on the phone, the workout summary will display a heart rate chart showing the different heart rate zones and the duration spent in each zone.
Data Synchronization
Once the workout is completed, the client's heart rate data and total calories burned will be synced with their body metrics.
In the heart rate or calories burned metrics chart, entries synced from workout tracking will be marked with a watch icon. Tapping on the watch icon will show the corresponding workout summary.
When clients have multiple accounts linked to the same email and use a smartwatch to monitor heart rate data during a workout in a specific workspace, the recorded heart rate data and total calories burned will sync across all associated accounts, marked with a watch icon. However, tapping on entries synced from a different workspace will not display the workout summary.
On the web app
Similar to the mobile app, the web app allows coaches to view workout summaries, including detailed heart rate data.
The heart rate and calories burned metric charts on the web app will also display entries synced from workout tracking, marked with a watch icon.
