What Apple Health Syncs With CoachRx
When you connect Apple Health, CoachRx pulls in lifestyle and wellness data that helps your coach see the full picture of your week. Common data types include daily steps, workouts logged in Apple Health, sleep duration, resting heart rate, body weight, and active energy.
Apple Health acts as a bridge between your phone, your wearable (Apple Watch, Garmin, Oura, WHOOP via Apple Health, etc.) and CoachRx. If your wearable writes to Apple Health, that data can flow into CoachRx through this single integration.
How to Connect Apple Health
Open the CoachRx mobile app on your iPhone.
Tap your profile icon and go to Settings.
Tap Connect Health Data or Apple Health.
When iOS prompts you, tap Turn On All to give CoachRx permission to read every data category. Limiting permissions to only some categories is the most common reason data appears to stop flowing later.
Return to CoachRx and confirm the integration shows as connected.
If Data Stops Flowing
Apple Health permissions can quietly change after an iOS update, a phone restore, or after removing and reinstalling the CoachRx app. Walk through these checks in order.
Step 1: Confirm Permissions in iOS Settings
Open the iOS Settings app on your iPhone.
Scroll to Health.
Tap Data Access & Devices.
Find CoachRx in the list and tap it.
Tap Turn On All to re-enable every data category.
If CoachRx is not in the list, the integration was never granted permission. Open the CoachRx app and run through the connection steps above again.
Step 2: Force a Manual Sync
In the CoachRx app, pull down on the dashboard to refresh. New Apple Health data should appear within a few seconds. Background sync runs automatically, but a manual pull-to-refresh is the fastest way to confirm the pipe is working.
Step 3: Reinstall CoachRx (Last Resort)
If permissions look correct and data is still not flowing:
Delete the CoachRx app from your iPhone.
Reinstall from the App Store.
Log back in and reconnect Apple Health (Settings > Connect Health Data).
Grant Turn On All when iOS prompts.
What If I Use Apple Health as a Bridge to MyFitnessPal or Another App?
If you rely on Apple Health to relay data from MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, or another nutrition app into CoachRx, the chain looks like: third-party app -> Apple Health -> CoachRx. Each link in the chain has its own permissions. Re-check that the third-party app is writing to Apple Health before re-checking CoachRx.
