Meet Google Health & Fitbit Air: Now Every Leader Can Have an AI Coach
Top executives are training like elite athletes, and now Google is making that level of coaching accessible to everyone. With the launch of the Google Health app (replacing Fitbit) and the screenless Fitbit Air, leaders can get a personalized AI coach powered by Gemini. This isn't just a fitness tracker; it's a 24/7 advisor that helps you manage energy, recover smarter, and perform at your best.
Why Leaders Need an AI Coach
High-performance leadership isn't about working longer hours. It's about managing your energy with precision. In the past, that required a team of experts: a trainer, nutritionist, and sleep specialist. But for busy executives, coordinating that team is a full-time job. Now, Google Health Coach brings that elite support system directly to your wrist and phone.
My Personal Journey: From Executive Coach to Texas #1 Tennis Player
As an executive coach specializing in ADHD and high-performance anxiety, I often see clients struggle to balance health tracking with work demands. So I decided to test the Fitbit ecosystem myself. My goal? Become the #1 ranked tennis player in Texas for my division. In exactly one year, I did it.
The secret wasn't doing more. It was having a system that told me when to train, when to rest, and how to stay motivated. That's exactly what Google Health Coach offers—a personalized, real-time advisor you can chat with to understand your biometrics.
What's New in Google Health Coach (May 19 Launch)
Rolling out between May 19 and May 26, the redesigned app moves from passive tracking to active coaching. Here are the standout features:
- 15-Minute Rule for Recovery: The Coach analyzes your readiness and suggests strategic pauses based on real-time stress, not a rigid schedule.
- Biometric Correlation & Medical Records: Sync medical records (U.S. only) and ask the Coach to summarize lab results or see how your lunch affects sleep hours later.
- Multimodal Logging: Snap a photo of your meal or a gym whiteboard to log nutrition and workouts instantly.
- Inclusive Well-being: Redesigned cycle tracking and mental wellbeing features help you timebox demanding tasks for when you're at your peak.
The Fitbit Air: Screenless, Sleek, and Focused
The Fitbit Air is the perfect companion. Its standout feature? No screen. In a world full of notifications, this device lets you stay in the moment while tracking your vitals in the background. It's especially helpful for people with ADHD who get distracted by constant wrist alerts. A Special Edition designed with Stephen Curry even features a performance band for maximum airflow.
Globalizing Elite Coaching for Everyone
As Stephen Curry said, the difference between a good day and a great one is objective data that tells you when to push and when to recover. The most successful leaders of the future won't push through burnout. They'll treat their health with the same curiosity and structure they bring to their business.
Stay tuned for more deep dives after the Google Health and Fitbit Air launch on May 19.
