Set up Beoflow as an athlete

Before you start

• You need a Beoflow athlete account. See “Create an account and sign in”.
• Have the login for your training app or wearable ready. You can connect Garmin Connect, Strava, WHOOP, Oura, Wahoo, Polar, Suunto, COROS and others.
• On iPhone, you can also connect Apple Health.
• Allow about 5 minutes. You don’t need a wearable to finish setup.

Set up on iPhone

1. Read the welcome page and continue.
2. One privacy question: iOS asks whether Beoflow may use tracking. Answer, then tap CONTINUE. The app works the same whichever you choose.
3. Connect Apple Health: tap CONTINUE and allow the data types you want to share.
4. INTEGRATIONS: connect your wearable or training app, then tap Continue. If you haven’t connected anything, choose Continue for now to add one later.
5. Stay on track: tap CONTINUE to allow notifications for morning readiness reports, newly synced workouts and messages from Flow.
6. Read the short introduction, then answer the questions about you, your training and your goals.
7. A short page explains your Signal screen. Then Flow opens.

Set up on the web

Each step shows its name at the top.

1. WELCOME: read and continue.
2. INTEGRATIONS: connect your wearable or training app.
3. YOUR PROFILE: read the short introduction, then answer the questions about you, your training and your goals.
4. GETTING STARTED: a short introduction to Beoflow.
5. YOUR PLAN: choose a plan and select START MY FREE TRIAL, or select CONTINUE WITHOUT SUBSCRIBING. This step is skipped if you already subscribe.
6. ALL SET: you land on your calendar with Flow open.

Set up on Android

1. After you create your account, setup opens inside the app.
2. Follow the same steps as the web.

If a coach invited you

On the web, setup starts with a COACH INVITE step showing your coach’s invitation. The remaining steps are the same.

Pick up where you left off

• iPhone: if you leave partway through, you see LET’S KEEP GOING next time. Tap Keep setting up.
• Web and Android: you return to setup the next time you sign in, until you finish.

What you’ll see

• Flow opens when setup ends and picks up from your answers.
• Your data appears once your connected devices first sync. Sleep data needs a night recorded by your device.

Troubleshooting

• “Continue without another integration?”: you haven’t connected a device. Choose Let me connect to add one, or Continue for now.
• A setup page is blank or skipped: if an introduction page doesn’t load within a few seconds, we move you to the next step. You haven’t missed anything you need.
• Apple Health data isn’t showing: open the iPhone Settings app, go to Privacy & Security → Health → Beoflow, and turn on Workouts, Sleep Analysis, Heart Rate and Steps under Allow Beoflow to Read.
• Apple Watch workouts are missing: a workout must finish transferring to the Health app on your iPhone before Beoflow can read it. Check it appears in Health or Fitness.
• I turned off notifications by mistake: open the iPhone Settings app → Notifications → Beoflow.

FAQ

• Do I need a wearable? No. You can finish setup without one, though Beoflow coaches better with your training and sleep data.
• Does skipping a device or permission block my account? No. You can connect devices later from Integrations and change permissions any time.
• Do I have to subscribe during setup? No. On the web the plan step can be skipped with CONTINUE WITHOUT SUBSCRIBING.

Privacy

During setup you choose what Beoflow can read. On iPhone, Apple Health data is read only for the types you allow, and only the metrics Beoflow needs. Your answer to the tracking question is used for ad measurement only: your health and training data are never shared with advertisers. Your data stays private to your account unless you share it with a coach. You can disconnect devices and change permissions any time.
