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. Go to Trainerize Clients

  2. Select the client you want to connect

  3. Click OURA Data

  4. Click Send Connection Invite

  5. 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 2 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

✅ No manual setup
✅ No searching for links
✅ No delays


🏆 Why We Recommend the /oura Method

  • Faster for you

  • Easier for clients

  • Fewer errors

  • No expired links

  • Fully automated

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


🔄 After Connection

Once connected:

  • OURA data starts syncing automatically

  • Initial sync may take a few minutes

  • Sleep, readiness, recovery, and activity data will appear inside FitMetrics


📝 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.
