HealthKit is the Apple app that tracks your step count, activity, body measurements, heart rate, sleep, nutrition, and much, much more. It's one of the apps that is on your phone when you buy it, so you won't need to download it.

To find it on your device, look for the icon pictured here.

TrainWithMe displays your daily activity at the top your timeline. It helps both you and your trainer track your daily progress.

If you enable HealthKit permissions when you set up TrainWithMe, we can collect your daily activity data from the Apple HealthKit app, and that's why you can see it in your timeline. If you love tracking your progress as much as we do, you're gonna love this feature!

Didn't enable permissions? It's ok! We'll show you how to do that anytime you're ready.

If you want to take advantage of daily activity tracking, you'll need to enable all HealthKit permissions. You'll have the opportunity to do this the first time you log in, but if you didn't do it then, you can do it now.

Watch the video below to learn HOW and WHY to enable permissions. Short on time? Fast forward to 1:00 for a 16 second demo on how to enable permissions now if you haven't already.

It allows you to optimize your experience by providing:

(-) Accuracy. When you sync, your trainer can see a comprehensive account of your daily activity and build your personal training program accordingly.

(-) Accountability. Syncing helps your trainer give you a pat on the back when you've done a great job, and hold you accountable when you're not as active.

(-) Convenience. It gives your fitness activities a central hub. You'll be able to get workouts, message your trainer, and track your activity all in one place.

(-) Motivation. There's nothing like seeing your numbers to keep you motivated! If your activity is looking a little low, this is great motivation to get moving.
