In 2022, 60% of French people over the age of 15 said they practiced regular physical activity. If we want to combine this sporting pleasure with a bit of technology, we quickly find the same brands. In this microcosm, Garmin occupies a prominent place, at the head of the pack. With a wide range of products, all the devices of the American firm nevertheless have one thing in common: they are linked to the parent application, Garmin Connect.
It has come under fire in recent months, particularly because of its design, considered outdated by a certain number of users. Aware of this increasingly popular opinion, Garmin decided to take matters into its own hands. The company has just presented a complete overhaul of its application in a YouTube video (below).

In this flood of new features, we find in particular an overview of personalized objectives for each athlete. Not everyone who uses Garmin Connect does so for the same purpose, and the application will adapt to suit the most demanding athletes, as well as those who simply want to stay in shape.
Develop a training plan
More and more people are taking on sporting challenges, such as a half or a marathon running event. These difficult races should not be taken lightly to avoid the risk of injury. It is therefore more than recommended to train beforehand and even to follow a training plan.
This is where another feature of the application comes into play: “Garmin Coach”. Thanks to this virtual assistant, the software will be able to create a tailor-made training plan based on your abilities and desires. The application will take into account your Vo2 Max as well as your previous races to establish the ideal training sessions.
A customizable application
Another big change, expected for years by Garmin Connect users, is the ability to customize the application. The American brand was already known for giving its users great freedom in displaying data on their watches or bike computers. It was therefore more than logical that it would do the same for its flagship application.
Like WindowsPhone, the Garmin Connect application is presented in the form of blocks. They can all be swapped, inverted or even deleted. Here again the key word for Garmin is to give hands to users. They are the ones who decide on the face of the application.
You can install the Garmin Connect app now by following the following link for iPhones. And with this link, for Android smartphones. The application is completely free, however it cannot work without additional Garmin devices such as a watch, heart rate sensor or bike computer.
