Zone 2 Training Coach answers one question every week: did you get your Zone 2 minutes? It reads your heart rate from Apple Watch and counts every minute you spend in Zone 2, in workouts and outside them, like a brisk walk. You don't have to press start or log anything. Your weekly goal fills a ring on Home, and daily bars show how your week is going. ZONES THAT MATCH YOUR WATCH Zone 2 Training Coach uses the same heart rate zones as Apple's Workout app. On iOS 27 it reads your Watch's zones directly; on earlier iOS it estimates them the way Apple does. If you've had your zones tested, or your coach gave you numbers, enter your own. LIVE ON YOUR WRIST Start a Zone 2 workout on Apple Watch and get a big live heart rate, zone colors, a time-in-zone timer and a tap when you drift out of Zone 2. Your iPhone shows it live. Prefer Apple's Workout app? Send a Zone 2 workout there with a Zone 2 alert. TODAY A 24-hour heart rate and zone chart, your latest heart rate, and your Zone 2 minutes for the day, plus 7-day averages. CARDIO FITNESS See your VO2 max level for your age and sex, from Apple's Cardio Fitness estimate, compared with published reference data. IS MY ZONE 2 WORKING? Your Zone 2 minutes alongside your Cardio Fitness, resting heart rate and your speed at Zone 2 heart rate over time. RECOVERY A daily score from your HRV, resting heart rate and heart-rate recovery, compared with your own normal. LEARN Short, plain-English articles on Zone 2, heart rate zones and VO2 max. ZONE 2 PRO • Your next Cardio Fitness level, and a Zone 2 Coach that plans your week toward it around your schedule • Scheduled Zone 2 sessions with Apple Watch reminders • 3, 6 and 12-month progress • Full day-by-day history, 30 and 60-day averages, and 4 and 12-week trends • Custom weekly targets and the Wednesday nudge • Apple Watch complication and home-screen widgets PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your health data stays on your iPhone. Zone 2 Training Coach doesn't sell or share your health data. Requires Apple Watch for heart rate data. Some features need newer software: reading your Watch's own zones needs iOS 27, and the coach's natural-language wording uses Apple Intelligence where available. Zone 2 Training Coach is for general fitness and is not a medical device. Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
