Do you support WHOOP?

Not today. It is one of the most requested, and the request link on the homepage is how that gets prioritised — but it does not work right now and we would rather say so than leave it ambiguous.

Who connects the wearable, me or the athlete?

The athlete connects their own account from their own screen. You never handle their credentials.

Can I use Loadwell with no wearables at all?

Yes. A check-in-only roster is a legitimate way to run it, and for many coaches it is where they start before any athlete connects a device.

Wearable data for coaches

Every wearable is built for the person wearing it. None of them are built for the coach responsible for thirty of them.

The fragmentation problem

Consumer wearables are designed around a single user looking at their own history. That is a reasonable design for the person who bought it and a poor one for a coach, because there is no roster view and nothing that answers 'which of my athletes changed'.

So coaches improvise. Screenshots in a group chat. An athlete reading their score out during a session. A spreadsheet someone maintains for two weeks. It works at five athletes and collapses somewhere in the teens.

It also produces an availability bias: you see the data of athletes who volunteer it, which is not the same population as the athletes who need attention.

What Loadwell reads today

Oura — available now: Sleep duration and quality, HRV, resting heart rate, readiness and daily activity, synced automatically once an athlete connects their own account.
Athlete check-ins — available now: Energy, mood, soreness and motivation daily, plus optional training and nutrition context. No device needed, which matters because rosters are never fully equipped.
Everything else — not connected: WHOOP, Garmin, Apple Health, Strava, Polar and Coros do not work with Loadwell today. Integrations are prioritised from coach demand, and you can register which one you need from the homepage.

On training data specifically

Athletes can type in what they trained as context, and that is available now. There is no automatic ingestion from any training platform — nothing syncs from TrainingPeaks, Garmin, Strava or a programming tool. If a coach needs that distinction to be clear before trialling: manual context yes, automatic sync no.

Why partial coverage still works

A common objection is that monitoring is pointless unless everyone has the same device. In practice that is not true, because the comparison is always within an athlete rather than between athletes.

An athlete with Oura gets a more precise baseline built from sleep and physiology. An athlete with only check-ins gets a coarser one built from self-report. Both produce a status, and neither is measured against the other.

What does matter is being honest where coverage is thin. An athlete without enough recent data of any kind is marked Limited rather than being quietly reported as fine.
