- Try it free. Your first week's plan is on us. Keeping it adapting week after week is part of Pro.
- Private by design. Your plan is built on your iPhone, and on Apple Intelligence devices Apple's model writes its summary. Nothing is sent to a server.
- Rules own the numbers. Minutes and targets come from proven training rules. The coach explains them in plain words.
Live coaching
Know what to do.
Know what to do.
Right now.
The screen glows in your zone colour and says it plainly. A heart that beats with yours, a live chart against your target band, calm haptics and voice cues in your AirPods. With Pro, your Apple Watch taps your wrist too. It opens ready, not running: put on your watch or strap, see your heart rate arrive, then press Start.
Pick it up
Below your band. A gentle nudge, never a siren.
In zone
Right where you should be. Keep it steady and enjoy it.
Ease off
Drifting into Zone 3. Slow down a touch, you'll get more from it.
Apple Watch
Leave the phone.
Leave the phone.
Keep the coach.
The Watch app reads your heart rate from your wrist, glows in your zone colour and shows when to ease off or pick it up. With Pro, it taps your wrist too. Your weekly ring and today's coach line come along from your iPhone.
Widgets & Live Activity
Your zone,
Your zone,
on every screen.
During a workout your heart rate, target band and time sit on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. The rest of the week, widgets keep your Zone 2 minutes in sight.
- Live Activity. A dot on your target band shows where you are. Too high turns it amber, so you know to ease off at a glance.
- Home Screen widgets. Small, medium and large: your ring, what's left, each day of the week and your zone mix.
- Lock Screen widgets. Minutes and streak next to the clock.
- Gone when you're done. The Live Activity closes the moment you finish. Free, like the Watch app.

Questions
Does it work with my Garmin?
Yes. Turn on Broadcast Heart Rate on the watch (Heart Rate widget → hold UP → Heart Rate Options) and pair it in Train → Heart rate from. Step-by-step help, including recording on the watch at the same time, is on our Garmin guide and in the app.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. Any Bluetooth chest strap works with just your iPhone, and so do Garmin and other watches that broadcast heart rate. Without a sensor, your ring still fills from workouts other apps save to Apple Health.
Is the AI plan free?
Your first week's plan is free. After that, the AI weekly plan is part of Pro, with a free trial on the yearly plan. Live coaching on iPhone, the Watch app, your weekly ring, the daily coach and widgets stay free forever.
Does the AI need the internet or an account?
No. Your plan and coaching come from the app's training rules, worked out on your iPhone. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, Apple's on-device model also writes your plan's weekly summary. Either way, nothing is sent to a server.
How are my zones set?
From your age and resting heart rate in Apple Health. You can switch between five methods (% of max, heart rate reserve, threshold, MAF 180 or manual), and the app suggests adjustments based on how your heart rate drifts on long, easy sessions.
Do workouts from other apps count?
Yes. Any workout with heart rate in Apple Health counts toward your week, from Apple Fitness, Strava, Garmin Connect, Peloton and others.
Is this medical advice?
No. Zone 2 Base is a training tool, not a medical device. Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
