Enable merging workouts from different sources (detect duplicates)

I have to track workouts on two apps to get benefits from my health insurance (Vitality). They need workouts logged directly by Apple Fitness in Apple Health, not third party integrated workouts.
If there’s no integration possible with Vitality points directly, please can you enable workouts over the same timeframe to be merged (e.g. Apple workout on Watch with HR zones + Bevel workout on iPhone with exercise info) so that exertion info is not duplicated.

Multiple Sources Tracking

I currently wear an Apple Watch and a Whoop.
Apple Watch syncs workout data through Apple Health.
Whoop syncs data through Strava as a pass through.
Currently, my workouts are being “double-counted”.
Is there a way to manage both sources? Some days I don’t wear my Apple Watch and just rely on the Whoop.
I understand that these are first world problems, but just curious.

Hi Roscoe Naguit Have you tried customizing your data sources? Go to your profile → Data Sources → Health Data, and hide any sources you don't want included. I'll also add duplicate activity detection to our feedback board, but this can serve as a helpful workaround in the meantime.

Combine workouts that coincide in time

Every time I train with the Bevel templates, I start a strength training session on my Amazfit watch. When I finish, I stop both, and when I sync Bevel, both workouts appear separately in the app. The Amazfit workout shows the data collected by the watch without the Bevel workout information, while the Bevel template workout shows the workout data, such as muscles worked, load, routine, etc., minus the calorie and other data collected by Amazfit. It would be great if Bevel could detect that both workouts overlap by more than 95% in duration and hours and combine the data from both into a single workout. Currently, Bevel is also duplicating my Strain score by adding the Strain score from both the Bevel and Amazfit workouts. I hope you can fix this. Thank you.

Thanks Leah, I only have one external data source (Amazfit/Zepp); the other source is Bevel when using training templates. If I hide the Zepp source, I won't get heart rate data from my watch or anything else.

José M S Hi Jose, jumping in on this.
What you can do is start the workout using your Amazfit/Helio Strap only. Once you’re done, you can manually add the workout details by going to your workout log in Bevel -> tap “Add Strength Workout Details” -> then apply the template you’ve created.
Alternatively, you can try starting the workout directly from the Bevel phone app. In this case, don’t start a workout on your Zepp/Helio Strap. Once the workout is finished, Bevel should use the HR data recorded by your Helio Strap during that time (If your Helio Strap syncs granular HR data to Apple Health) for the workout you logged in the app.
Have you tried this workaround?

Hello Randell, thank you. I tried what you suggested, but I can't start without Bevel because I like to record the weights and repetitions I do to track my progress. It's difficult to do the workout using only Amazfit without Bevel. Conversely, I could do it using only Bevel and without starting a workout on Amazfit, but then it doesn't record my heart rate at the ideal frequency, since without starting a workout it usually records my heart rate every 7 minutes or so. What I've thought of doing is starting a workout on my Amazfit and also on Bevel as usual, and once both are finished and the Bevel template is updated, adding the exercise template to the Amazfit workout and deleting the Bevel-only workout to avoid duplicating data.
Randell
José M S I see. That should work too as a workaround. then you can add the workout details after to the AmazFit/Helio logged workout

Merge duplicate strength workouts recorded on both Bevel and Garmin
A
Angus Chadwick
Description: When a strength session is recorded simultaneously on the iPhone Bevel app and a Garmin device, both activities are imported as separate workouts, causing double-counting of strain, load, and other training metrics.
Requested behaviour: Bevel should detect overlapping strength workouts from connected devices and offer to merge them into a single activity - using Bevel’s workout structure/exercise data alongside Garmin’s heart rate and biometric data - rather than treating them as two independent sessions.

Some activities come in twice (from Strava and Garmin), giving the wrong idea of the load. It would be useful to be able to remove duplicate activities.

Comparing duplicate training data

For example, if users use an Apple watch and a Garmin device and both Apple Health and the Garmin account are integrated, then activities are double in Bevel. A setting that synchronizes duplicate activities and deletes one would be great

Merge 2 activities from différents sources together (Garmin & Bevel)

Louis Victor Morgaut
When I work out, I start the activity on both Garmin and Bevel.
At the end, I end up with 2 separate activities in Bevel, and both impact my effort score.
To get accurate data, I currently have to delete one of them and choose between Garmin heart rate data or Bevel workout data.
Ideally, I’d like these 2 activities to be merged into a single one, with workout data coming from Bevel and heart rate data coming from Garmin.
