Where does the Beachbody Apple Watch app get my information for calorie burn and heart rate?

The Apple Watch is continuously tracking your heart rate and Apple HealthKit contains your other information. The Beachbody On Demand app overlays that information onto the video screen.

The more data you provide (height, weight, body fat percentage, etc.), the more accurate your caloric burn numbers will be.
