Add connections to apps like cmf or garmin

Hi team,

I wanted to flag an opportunity that should be a relatively small lift for you given what you have already built. You already generate automated workouts for Apple Watch. Garmin users are asking for the same thing, and the path to do it is more open than most people assume.

Here is the short version of how it works.

Garmin has an official Training API inside the Garmin Connect Developer Program. Its entire purpose is to let a third party app publish a structured workout, meaning the exercises, sets, reps, target weight, and rest periods, directly to a user's Garmin Connect account. Once that workout is published, it lands on the user's Garmin Connect calendar. The next time the user syncs their watch, which happens automatically, the workout downloads to the device and they can start it and follow each step right on the wrist, the same way they would with a workout you built for Apple Watch.

A smaller app called LiftTrack is already doing exactly this, and LiftTrack has nowhere near the infrastructure you already have. You have automation, AI, and food logging in one place. This is really just adding a second output target to a system you already run.

Here is the step by step version for your engineering team.

One, apply to the Garmin Connect Developer Program as a company, not as an individual account, since Garmin requires a business entity for anything beyond personal use. Worth checking current program status directly with Garmin, since access has occasionally been paused for new applicants.

Two, add a Garmin connection option next to your existing Apple Watch connection. This uses standard OAuth, so the user grants permission once and you get an authorized token for their account.

Three, take the workout your AI already builds internally, the same structure you use to generate an Apple Watch session, and map it to Garmin's workout step format. This just means translating your existing exercise, set, rep, and rest fields into the fields Garmin's Training API expects. It is a mapping exercise, not a rebuild.

Four, when a workout is finalized for a user, call the Training API to publish it to that user's Garmin Connect calendar for the date it is scheduled. This is the same moment you already push to Apple Watch, just now pushed to a second destination as well.

Five, the user syncs their watch as they normally would, and the workout is there waiting for them.

One honest caveat worth knowing going in. Garmin is restrictive about a third party writing a completed strength session, meaning actual logged sets, reps, and weight after the fact, back into Garmin Connect as a recognized strength activity. That piece is locked down and has been for years. But that is a completely separate question from what is being asked for here. Publishing the planned workout out to the device ahead of time is fully supported today through the Training API, no workaround needed.

Given everything else Bevel already automates, this feels like one of the more straightforward gaps to close, and it would open you up to a large group of Garmin athletes who currently have to plan their sessions elsewhere and manually enter them on their watch.

Happy to talk through any of this in more detail if it's useful.

Best,

Curt

I would love it if it was possible to export workouts generated by Bevel directly to the Garmin app and not create a workout every time on the app.

Hello it would be nice to have a native Bevel application with Garmin or at least to install on the watch as for the Apple Watch.

It would be awesome to have a companion app on the Garmin watch itself

Pleaseee create a watch face on connect IQ and also the smart alarm integration with garmin.

It would be great to be able to transfer the sessions to the Garmin watch or in the meantime, have voice guidance so as not to look at your phone while running and not have to buy an Apple Watch.

A clear and focussed Garmin watch face (like the Dexcom watch face) to get quick glance Bevel metrics. Particularly for Fenix 8.

I want it o use the smart alarm so my data it’s more precise, but it only works with Apple Watch, if it would work with garmin, I would really appreciate it and I think a lot of people would love it too!
