Getting Started with Training Today

What is Training Today?

Training Today monitors your Health Data from your Apple Watch to determine your Readiness To Train (RTT) daily and throughout the day.

Training Today can help you stay safe from overtraining injury and tell you the best time to work hard, take it easy, or have a rest day.

We take a holistic view of your life by using the advanced capabilities of Apple Watch to monitor your health 24hrs a day, and we process that data to create a simple, accurate guide to help you reach your training goal.
