You can connect an Oura Ring to a Trainerize client in two different ways. Both work — but one is clearly faster and easier.


Method 1: Send Connection Invite Manually

This is the manual way to connect Oura to a specific client.

Steps

  1. Select the client you want to connect

  2. Click Oura Data

  3. Click Send Connection Invite

  4. Send the invite via Trainerize messages

What Happens Next

  • The client receives a login link

  • They log in to their Oura account

  • The connection is completed automatically

  • Data starts syncing within a few minutes

Important Security Note

The client must authenticate within 5 minutes after receiving the link.

If they wait longer:

  • The link expires

  • They'll see an error

  • You'll need to send a new invite

This timeout exists for security reasons.


Method 2 (Recommended): Client Uses /oura Command

This is the fastest and recommended method.

Steps (Client Side)

  1. Client opens Trainerize chat

  2. Client types:

    /oura
  3. Sends the message

What Happens Automatically

  • FitMetrics detects the command

  • Your configured AI message sender responds instantly

  • The client receives:

    • Clear instructions

    • The secure Oura connection link

  • Client logs in and authorizes Oura

  • Sync starts automatically


Why We Recommend the /oura Method

  • Faster for you

  • Easier for clients

  • Fewer errors

  • Link generated on demand, so less chance of expiry

  • Fully automated

If you're onboarding many clients, this is the best practice.


After Connection

Once connected, Oura data starts syncing automatically. The following data types will appear inside FitMetrics:

  • Readiness — daily readiness scores and contributors

  • Sleep — sleep scores, duration, efficiency, sleep stages (REM, deep, light)

  • Activity — daily activity scores, steps, calories

  • Workouts — logged workout sessions

  • Heart Rate — heart rate data

Initial sync may take a few minutes.


Summary

Two ways to connect Oura:

  • Manual: Trainerize Clients → Oura Data → Send Invite

  • Recommended: Client types /oura in Trainerize chat

For best results and fewer issues, always use the /oura command within Trainerize Messages.
