Training that follows your recovery
Most apps put your recovery data on a dashboard and leave the decision to you. Level reads your Oura readiness, sleep, HRV and stress, then changes the next session itself. Run down, and the week gets lighter. Recovered, and it spends that on your hard sessions.

What your readiness score actually changes
These are the thresholds the coach works to. It does not just surface the number, it acts on it and tells you that it did.
| Readiness | What happens |
|---|---|
| Under 60Deload | The coach cuts volume and intensity rather than asking you to push through. |
| 60 to 70Reduce | Lighter session. Working sets come down, the movement pattern stays. |
| 70 to 85Normal | Train the plan as written. |
| 85 and upPush | You are recovered. This is where the coach spends your hard sessions. |
HRV trend and repeated poor sleep are read alongside the daily score, so one bad night does not derail a block and a bad fortnight does not go unnoticed.
What Level reads from Oura
Read access only. Level never writes to your Oura account.
Sleep
Sleep score, total duration, efficiency, time to fall asleep, and the deep, REM and light breakdown.
Readiness
The daily readiness score plus every contributor behind it, including HRV balance, body temperature, recovery index and sleep balance.
Heart rate variability
HRV trend over time, which is what tells the coach whether you are actually absorbing the training.
Stress
Daily stress and resilience, so a hard week at work counts as load rather than being invisible.
Activity
Daily activity totals, so movement outside the gym is part of the picture.
Blood oxygen
Daily SpO2 averages.
Oura-detected workouts
Sessions your ring picked up, so a workout you never logged in Level is still accounted for.
Connecting your ring
- 1
Create a Level account
iOS or web. The 14-day free trial does not need a card up front.
- 2
Open Settings and choose Connect Oura
You are sent to Oura to sign in and approve access. Level never sees your Oura password.
- 3
Level backfills your history
Recent daily data syncs on connect, then keeps up automatically. Your next session already reflects it.
Disconnecting
Disconnect from Settings at any time. Level revokes its access token with Oura and deletes the stored connection, so nothing further is pulled. Reconnect whenever you like and Level will backfill again.
Questions
What does Level do with my Oura data?
It decides how hard you train. Your readiness score sets the intensity of the next session, your HRV trend tells the coach whether you are absorbing the current block, and a run of poor sleep or high stress will pull a deload forward rather than waiting for you to stall. Every change the coach makes comes with its reasoning, so you can see which recovery signal drove it.
Which Oura permissions does Level ask for?
Five scopes: daily, heartrate, workout, spo2 and personal. Those cover daily sleep, readiness, stress, resilience, activity and blood oxygen summaries, plus workouts your ring detects. Level reads this data and never writes anything back to your Oura account.
Do I need an Oura subscription?
You need whatever Oura requires to see your own scores in their app, since Level reads the same daily summaries. Level Pro is separate: a 14-day free trial, then $20 a month, cancel anytime.
How do I disconnect?
Disconnect from Settings. Level revokes its access token with Oura and deletes the stored connection, so no further data is pulled. You can reconnect later and Level will backfill again.
Does this replace logging my workouts?
No. Oura tells Level how recovered you are; your logged sets tell it how strong you are getting. The coach needs both. Oura-detected workouts fill in the sessions you did not log, but they are not a substitute for logging your lifts.
Does Level work without an Oura Ring?
Yes. Level also reads Apple Health, and it will ask you how recovered you feel when it has no wearable data. The Oura connection makes that judgment sharper; it is not a requirement.
