How to Sync your Fitbod activities to Fitbit

Fitbit no longer auto-syncs Fitbod workouts to Fitbit activities. You will need to manually add your Fitbod activities to Fitbit.

Open the Fitbod app 

1. Finalize and log a Fitbod workout (make sure to have Post to Fitbit toggled on before logging the workout.) 
2. In the Fitbit app, press + add an activity
3. Select the Activity under Manually log 
4. Your Fitbod workout should show under "Recent"

***Important Note:

Since Fitbit's most recent update in October 2024, the app no longer auto-syncs Fitbod workouts under Fitbit activities, you may find this updated process less convenient. In the meantime, we are contacting Fitbit to see if we can make this process more seamless. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you. Please feel free to reach out to our Support team if you have any questions or concerns at [e-mail].

FAQ

Does Fitbod collect heart rate data from my Fitbit to calculate calories?

No. Unfortunately, Fitbit's API doesn't allow us to collect heart rate data so calorie calculations are completed using Fitbod’s formula.

How do I avoid duplicate workout entries posting to my Fitbit feed?

To avoid duplicate workouts being posted, you can:

1. Turn “Post workouts to Fitbit” OFF (while keeping other settings turned ON) and run a workout on both Fitbod and Fitbit

OR

2. Don’t auto or manually run a workout on Fitbit and have Fitbod post the workout to your Fitbit feed
