FivePointFive: Breathwork for Athletes
What is FivePointFive
The world’s first breathwork app built for athletes—used by Elite Athletes and a fast-growing community of Everyday Athletes. We turn cutting-edge breathing science into short, coached sessions that strengthen performance and recovery, improve focus and stress resilience, and deepen restorative sleep.
Built on science. Made measurable.
Peer-reviewed research links structured breathwork with higher VO₂-max, improved HRV, lower resting heart rate, and better sleep quality. FivePointFive translates that science into sessions you can see working:
- Live heart-rate in class to watch your autonomic nervous shift in real time
- AI Performance Coach with post-session insights and coach tips
- Trends over time across HR, HRV, resting HR, and sleep
Train the full system: Mind • Body • Sleep
- Mind: Downshift stress fast, sharpen focus, and rebalance the nervous system—in as little as 90 seconds.
- Body: Build breathing mechanics and CO₂ tolerance to increase endurance, boost stamina, and speed recovery.
- Sleep: Lower nighttime cortisol and deepen restorative sleep so you wake recovered and ready to go.

I had a coach point out to me that you can live for up to a couple weeks without food, days without water, but only minutes without air. Breathing well is critical not just for performance and growth but overall health.So I’ve been interested in breath work for a while but it was hard to find a simple and clear process to follow to see actual results. Five Point Five has filled that void. I now have a plan to follow and the consistency is paying off. I just finished my 200th session and notice a difference in my runs as well as my rest and recovery. It takes daily commitment, but the commitment is worth the investment. If you’re looking to dial in your breathing and take your performance and health to the next level, commit to a 90-day session and do the work…you won’t regret it.
Looks Good So Far with One Caveat
IanA123
I have been interested in breath work to improve my athletic performance for a while now. Most of the apps I’ve seen are little more than glorified meditation apps with maybe an exercise or two to increase endurance buried somewhere behind a bunch of menus. I saw an ad for FivePointFive declaring it is a breath work app for athletes and I had to try it. So far, the breathing exercises I’ve done are unlike any of the ones I’ve seen in other apps and I am cautiously optimistic that they will help improve my performance. I also like that it built a personalized 90-day plan for me…I find it much easier to stick with something long term when I have a plan.I do have one significant concern that prevents me from giving the app a perfect 5 stars though. The performance section which displays all of your data and progress only works if you have an Apple Watch. One of the major selling points of this app is that it uses your wearable to provide feedback. There is a workaround where you can broadcast your heart rate from your Garmin or other smartwatch and an AI coach will give you feedback on the class you just completed, but there is no way to view consolidated data along with long term trends. Garmin support is supposedly coming soon and I’ll be happy to amend my rating when that happens.

Hi Ian,Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It really means a lot to us, and we're delighted to hear you're enjoying the app and finding the 90-day plan valuable.Regarding Garmin, the good news is that we're actively working on a much deeper Garmin integration, and as part of that, we'll soon be inviting a small group of members to get early access to our new Garmin prototype before it's released more widely. If you'd be interested in trying it before the public release, just email us at support@fivepointfive.com and we can get you added to the early access tester group.Thanks again for your support and for helping us improve FivePointFive. We really appreciate your feedback, and we hope to earn that fifth star very soon!
Massive Impact on my life
David_007_
This is my first app review on the App Store and I work in tech lol. I’ve always been health-conscious but could never wrap my head around meditation. I not quieten the mind. Breath work has been an absolute game changer in multiple aspects of my life, and this app has been a huge part of that. I love the interaction and the way that the classes are broken down. I work in a very fast paced job in the alternative investment space managing multiple clients and being able to step away for a few minutes and breathe is so reassuring and gives me an actual reset when I take a break. Incredible. I’ve been monitoring my HRV since starting, and I’m seeing improvements. The cost of this app is the equivalent to what two yoga classes? Take the plunge you won’t regret it. The other apps with many more reviews are underwhelming.

Game Changer

This app is a game-changer! It’s like having the Peloton of breathwork in your pocket. The live classes are incredible, with expert guidance that helps you truly connect with your breath. The integration with wearables is next-level—being able to see real-time data on how your breathwork is improving my emotional state, productivity, and sleep has been a revelation.Breathwork has always been powerful, but this app makes it accessible, actionable, and fun. It’s all backed by science, and the focus on oxygen—the world’s most essential “drug”—makes it both revolutionary and so natural.If you want to elevate your life through something as simple and profound as your breath, download this app now. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve their mental and physical well-being.
