How to Sync Workouts between Fitbod, Apple Health, and the Fitness app

Fitbod workouts to Apple Health and Fitness app

In order to sync your Fitbod workouts to Apple Health on iOS, first, make sure you are connected to Apple Health within the Fitbod app.

Once connected to Apple Health, you will need to ensure Fitbod has permission to write data to the app. To check this:

1. Open Apple Health
2. Select your profile on the Summary page (top right)
3. Select Apps under the Privacy section
4. Select Fitbod
5. The following data permissions need to be turned ON for Fitbod workouts to sync into Apple Health (Height and Weight are strongly recommended for calorie calculations but not required)

Now, you're ready to go! After completing a Fitbod workout, a pop-up will display which will give you the option to sync your workout to Apple Health, make sure this is toggled ON.

As a reference, please see the image below:

You will need an Apple Watch in order to sync workouts with the Fitness app. Once you enable Sync to Apple Health and log a workout, that workout will automatically sync to the Fitness app.

3. Select Apps under the Privacy section

I'm seeing issues with calories burned and workout duration from my Fitbod workout not importing into my Apple Health/Fitness App. What can I do?

You can manually change the prioritization by performing the following steps:

1. Open your Apple Health app
2. Select Browse (bottom right)
3. Select Active Energy
4. Scroll down to Data Sources & Access and select this option
5. Select Edit
6. Drag and drop Fitbod to the top of the list

By updating the prioritization, this will ensure Fitbod calculates your calories burned and takes precedence over the Apple Watch sensor calculated calorie count.
