Garmin Connect - Strength Training integration
planned (soon)

Hello team,
I discovered Bevel a few months ago and really got into it when you integrated with the Garmin Connect API. That's a really great job, and your app deserves to be known by more people!
So far, the Garmin Connect integration is much more reliable than Garmin > Apple Health > Bevel integration, congrats 👏
I think there can be room for improvement regarding the synchronisation of Strength workouts:
* if I use the Bevel app with my phone only, I do not have the cardio from my Garmin watch, and I lose all the benefits of the cardio-related feature.
* but if I log a strength workout from my Garmin watch, I do not have any information about the sets, even if I follow the workout I configured on Garmin Connect
I know I can record the workout from the Garmin watch and then add the workout plan later by describing it on Bevel or importing a screenshot, but I can’t imagine anyone actually bothering to do it. It is really frustrating.
Hence, two suggestions:
👉 retrieve the details of the sets (reps, weight, ...) directly from the Garmin Connect API (I assume this is available as I can see them logged in the .fit file)
👉 export the Bevel routine to Garmin Connect (directly or via a .fit file) because the Garmin Connect builder is s***ty as fuck !!
That way, I can benefit from the Bevel workout builder (awesome), run it directly on my Garmin device, and synchronize everything all at once.
Thanks for considering it!

Import the sessions generated by Bevel directly into Garmin

Bevel's AI makes it possible to generate an entire running training plan. On the other hand, you cannot directly import the sessions into Garmin as Kiprun Pacer does for example. That would be so quick and convenient!

This is actually a feature for Strava, would be good to see it integrated with Bevel!

I’m now using a Garmin Fenix watch having swapped for an Apple Watch. I now start my workout directly on the watch which writes to Garmin Connect.
You can then go into the saved workout in Garmin Connect and add your specific exercises, sets and reps in more detail.
The exercises, sets, and reps do not write across to Bevel. So although you see the workout appear in Bevel, you don’t get the detailed information about the workout itself.

Use garmin or other sensors during training

I know that in the Strava app, you can start a workout and select a sensor to measure heart rate and other metrics. I would love to use bevel for training. But without a pulse, it's not very useful. Please add the ability to use the Garmin watch as a measuring sensor during bevel training

YES PLEASE!! Also I usually log my strength training bit by bit so it is very detailed on how many KG’s I lifted and which moves I did (chest press, leg press, squat, crunch etc.) but unfortunately my Bevel fitness tab is completely empty right now because it takes a lot of my productive hours to fill stuff like this.
