What to look for

Who builds the workout plan, and from what?

A good plan starts from your level, the days you can train, the kit you have and any injuries, and moves you on as you progress. Check what the app asks you at the start and how the plan changes over the weeks.

Do your food targets follow your training?

A hard training day, a rest day and a match day need different amounts of food. Look at how each app sets the day's calories, protein, carbs and fat: from the day's plan, by weekday, or as one figure for every day.

How do you see your progress?

Your weight, strength, sleep and photos tell you whether the plan is working. Look for the measures you care about, in one place.

Does it plan around your sport?

If you play a sport, your gym days, your food and your recovery all need to fit around matches, practices and the season. Check whether the app asks about your sport and what it changes when you add one.

Questions people ask

What should a workout and nutrition app do?

Build a workout plan that fits your level, your week and your kit; set food targets that follow your training, so a hard day and a rest day get different amounts; show your progress in one place; and, if you play a sport, plan around your matches, practices and season.

Strathlon is on iPhone and Apple Watch. Your workout plan, a nutrition plan that follows it and your progress, in one app. Get Strathlon.

← Home ยท How Strathlon works

Apple Health: Strathlon reads your Apple Health data, and saves the food you log in it (calories, protein, carbs and fat) to Apple Health, only with the permissions you grant, and your Apple Watch saves workouts to Apple Health only with your permission. Your AI coach uses your Health readings only if you switch on “Share my health data with the AI coach”. You control all of these at any time.

Sport-specific gym exercises are added when Sports Performance is one of your goals.

The AI coach and the features it runs (food logging from a photo, barcode or label, meal plans and the weekly or monthly review), supplement guidance, the shopping list, reading a weight from a photo and running a session hands-free from your Apple Watch come with the Strathlon subscription, which starts with a 14-day free trial if you haven't had one. Sessions start on your iPhone.
