Wearables

How Wearable Integration Works

HubFit integrates with your phone's built-in health platform to pull wearable data into one consistent view for coaches:

• iOS — Apple Health
• Android — Health Connect

This approach means HubFit works with any wearable that syncs to Apple Health or Health Connect — including Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, Oura Ring, Whoop, Samsung Galaxy Watch, Google Pixel Watch, Polar, COROS, and more. No matter which device your clients use, the data arrives in the same format, so you get a consistent coaching experience across your entire client base.

Supported Data Types

HubFit syncs four categories of health data:

Viewing Client Health Data

When a client connects their wearable, you can view their synced health data from their profile.

The dashboard shows:

• A Summary tab with ring totals and a mini chart per metric
• Drill into Steps, Calories, Sleep, or Heart Rate for headline stats, a full chart, and a daily log
• Period-over-period comparison badges (e.g. "↓ 35%")

Date Range and Views

You can view health data in two modes:

Understanding Sleep Data

When viewing a client's sleep data, you'll see a detailed breakdown:

• Total Duration — Total time asleep (in hours and minutes)
• Deep Sleep — Time spent in deep/slow-wave sleep
• Light Sleep — Time in light or core sleep stages
• REM Sleep — Time in REM sleep
• Awake — Time spent awake during the sleep session
• Sleep Window — Start and end timestamps (when available)

Understanding Heart Rate Data

Heart rate data shows four measurements per day:

Integration Status

On a client's Settings > Integrations page, you can see which health integrations are connected.

What Wearable Data Does and Does Not Sync To

Wearable data does sync with Challenges. When a client has Apple Health or Health Connect connected and joins a Steps challenge, their step count updates automatically.

Connecting a Wearable (Client Setup)

Clients connect their wearable from Settings > Integrations in the HubFit app. Their wearable must first sync to Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android).

Most wearables sync automatically through their companion app. If a client needs help, use this reference:

Once the wearable syncs to the phone's health platform, the client taps Apple Health or Health Connect in HubFit's Integrations settings and grants permission to read health data. Data begins syncing automatically.

How Syncing Works

Data syncs automatically when the client opens the HubFit app. Clients can also manually trigger a sync by tapping the steps display on their profile and hitting the refresh icon in the top right corner.

Clients only see their step count from wearables in the app — calories, sleep, and heart rate data are only visible from the coach dashboard, since clients already have access to this data through their wearable's own app.

Disconnecting a Wearable

If a client wants to stop sharing health data, they can disconnect by going to Settings > Integrations in the HubFit app and tapping their connected integration (Apple Health or Health Connect), then tapping Disconnect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does wearable data sync with Metrics or Habits? No. Wearable data is a standalone system. Steps, calories, sleep, and heart rate are only visible on the client's Wearable tab. They do not appear as metric data points or count toward habit goals. Wearable data does sync with Steps challenges.

Why is my client's wearable data not showing up? The most common cause is the wearable not syncing to Apple Health or Health Connect. Have the client check their phone's health app first. If the data is there, make sure HubFit has the correct permissions enabled, then have them open the HubFit app to trigger a sync. If the issue persists, try disconnecting and reconnecting the health integration from Settings > Integrations.

Can clients connect Fitbit, Garmin, or Oura directly to HubFit? No. HubFit reads from Apple Health and Health Connect only. The wearable must sync to one of these platforms first.

Why is the step count different from the wearable app? Apple Health and Health Connect aggregate and deduplicate data from all sources. The numbers in HubFit match what the phone's health platform reports, which may differ slightly from the wearable's own app.

My client's sleep data is missing stage breakdowns. Not all wearables report sleep stages. Basic fitness bands may only report total duration. For stage breakdowns (deep, light, REM, awake), the client needs a wearable that tracks sleep stages.

What happens if a client disconnects? Disconnecting removes all synced health data from HubFit. If they reconnect later, HubFit will re-sync available data from their phone's health platform.
