Take Readiness to Results. Understand your readiness. Choose training that fits today. Follow your progress over time. Training Today brings readiness and training together for triathletes, runners, cyclists and swimmers. Your Readiness to Train (RTT) score uses HRV readings from Apple Health and your personal baseline to help you decide when to push, keep steady or take it easy. FROM READINESS TO YOUR NEXT SESSION With Premium, explore structured swim, bike and run workouts that adapt to your RTT. Review the session, choose your options and send supported workouts to Apple Watch. Review readiness-based changes on iPhone before updating a workout on your Watch. BUILD YOUR TRAINING WEEK Shape Your Week around your training preferences. Choose sessions, move workouts and review suggestions as your week unfolds. Schedule strength and conditioning alongside your endurance training. CONNECT YOUR TRAINING Share readiness and health metrics with TrainingPeaks, with optional daily sync. Upload completed workouts separately from Workout Analytics after granting workout-upload access. Send supported cycling workouts to ROUVY. Choose power targets when configured, or free ride with heart-rate cues. Connected accounts and the relevant permissions are required. SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE Review recorded activities, readiness and HRV history. Use sleep context, Activity Intensity Score and Overall Fitness Index (OFI) trends to better understand your training. OFI is a personal HRV-based trend indicator, not a direct measurement of performance or VO2 max. START FREE. EXPLORE PREMIUM. Start with your readiness score, recent readiness chart, current sleep and resting heart rate, and recent OFI trends. Premium adds workout planning and the library, recorded activity review, deeper history, customization and integrations. Monthly, annual and lifetime purchase options unlock Premium; available options and local prices appear in the app. Training Today needs suitable Apple Health data to calculate readiness. Wear a compatible Apple Watch regularly, including overnight, and allow access to the health data you want to use. Watch workouts and other features depend on compatible devices and software. Your score supports training decisions: consider it alongside how you feel. Training Today does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Train with clarity, not guesswork. Simple Insights uses Apple Health and Apple Intelligence to turn your health and workout data into clear coaching answers for recovery, training, movement, and performance — processed on device, no cloud required. Start with a 7-day free trial with full access. No account. No cloud processing. No data selling. Ever. NEW: Coach-Ready Workout Details Open any workout and read a plain sentence about it — “A hard 45-minute ride — one of your bigger workloads in the last 14 days” — before a single number. Then the figures a coach would ask for: • Training Load (TSS) and Intensity Factor, on every activity type • Zone 4+ efforts, longest effort, and dominant zone • Elapsed, active, and paused time • Heart rate drift, time to peak, average as a percentage of max • A comparison against your own recent sessions, not a population average Tap any figure for a plain-language explainer. Share the session as an image, or export the heart rate data as a spreadsheet. The last 7 days are free; subscribers get full history, sharing, and export. Ask AI (Powered by Apple Intelligence) Ask natural-language questions about your health and performance, answered from your own Apple Health trends, on device. • “How much did I train this week vs last week?” • “Show my HRV trend over the last 30 days.” • “Tell me about Morning Briefing.” • “Is my data private in Simple Insights?” Subscribers get unlimited prompts. Free mode includes 2 per day. Ask AI requires an Apple Intelligence compatible iPhone. Heart Rate Data Export Your workout data belongs to you. Export any workout’s heart rate readings to a CSV spreadsheet for Numbers, Excel, or Google Sheets — every reading in order, with elapsed time, zone, and percentage of max. Built on device, nothing uploaded. Morning Briefing Start each day with a proactive recommendation — Push, Steady, or Recover — plus a confidence score and the key drivers behind it. Tap through for how each number was calculated. Trend Anomaly Alerts Simple Insights watches your trends for you. When resting heart rate spikes, HRV drops, sleep declines, or activity falls off, you get a clear alert before you feel the impact. Workout streaks and new personal bests are flagged too. Every alert says what changed, why it matters, and what to do — then clears itself when the trend recovers. Weekly Intelligence Report A weekly report that answers one question: “Am I improving?” • Training, Recovery, Movement, and Sleep sections • Confidence-aware interpretation • Driver lines and practical next actions • Shareable PDF export for coach check-ins Built for Apple Health users Works with what you already track — Apple Watch, compatible heart rate monitors and exercise machines, and other Apple Health sources. No manual syncing. Recovery Intelligence • HRV trends • Resting heart rate patterns • High and low heart rate monitoring • Recovery behavior over time Training Intelligence • Per-session Training Load (TSS) and Intensity Factor • Heart rate zone distribution, Zone 4+ efforts, and drift • Weekly and monthly training comparisons • Workout trend summaries Movement Intelligence • Steps and movement trends • Active calorie patterns • Weekly and monthly consistency signals Intelligent Dashboards • My Dashboard and Coach Dashboard • Modular tile layouts you can reorder and personalize Privacy First by Design • On-device processing • Your data is exportable as a spreadsheet • No logins, no accounts • No ads • No cloud processing • No tracking Exports, dashboards, weekly reports, and detailed alerts are subscriber features. Free mode remains fully usable. Subscription Information Auto-renewing monthly and annual subscriptions. Pricing varies by region. Renews unless canceled in App Store settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Simple Insights at every 2 days against Training Today's every 6 weeks. Simple Insights also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Training Today's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 5) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
