EXTERNAL: Apple Health integration
Currently TP "reads" from apple health. Could you please add a "write" function? My current UX is I start my scheduled workout on TPV, then I start an indoor cycle session on my apple watch. (I want my workout data to be sent to apple fitness so my monthly kms and time gets added up, among other things). Anyway, these two sessions get sent to TP and I have to delete the apple one so two don't show up on TP.
I think the simple fix is have TPV "write" to apple health.

This is important. But I use it on my desktop so I guess I would have to open up TPV afterwards on iOS to sync. Don’t think a desktop app can write to Apple Health.

Must have. TPVirtual workouts are not synced to Apple Health currently. Even using external (paid) apps like RunGap it is a hassle - unnecessary workarounds and costs, and barriers for using it.
Tbh I want to start using TPV, but even though I am paying for TrainingPeaks Premium where TPV is included, I would rather pay for these other apps/platforms that do automatically sync and include my workouts in Apple Health.
If TrainingPeaks Virtual wants to be a competitor with Swift, Kinomap, etc.. then this is a basic minimum requirement. Nobody wants missing data in their statistics!
Apple Health is for Apple users the single data integration ecosystem/platform. TP just cannot compete with that as TP has a different purpose and will always have a more limited scope of data.
TP Virtual syncing to data ecosystems for data and app-integrations like Apple Health should be a no-brainer. TPV syncing to Apple Health would even be a solution for integrating/export data (through Apple Health) to other apps and platforms without requiring own/direct implementations from within TPV. So, also a no-brainer from a software development perspective.

Syncing actual weight keeps us honest and helps with effective training.

Would be great if there was some anti-cheating detection here as well. Maybe roped in with the tier system where tier 1 requires a weight within X number of days and/or a smart scale recorded value or something like that?

I’d also like to see TP/TPV import from Apple Health (specifically weight)

This is a no brainer, must have feature. If TPV won't allow you to sync with Strava (which is also silly), there is basically no outgoing syncing from TPV, and in my case, useless.

Ability to synchronise weight from sources such as apple health etc
