Tacx Exercise Data within the Garmin Connect App

I have been using my indoor bike with a simple resistance trainer for some time - I use my Garmin watch and Polar Rate Monitor to record the exercise and it all works fine - all the data is uploaded and stored in Garmin Connect.

I have recently, upgraded the trainer to a simple  "smart" trainer  - Tacx Flow and are using the Tacx App to follow some of their rides/workouts. Still using the polar rate monitor.

The workout is uploaded to Garmin Connect fine and all the data is within, the exercise "tile"  / description - distance, power, heart rate, speed etc. BUT these metrics don't seem to be carried over to the main Garmin Connect App - Intensity Minutes, Heart Rate etc are not updated properly.

The motivation for choosing Tacx was that it was Garmin company and "integrated" with the Connect ecosystem.  Is this not the case?

Is there a workaround?

  • In what way is the data not updated properly in Garmin Connect?

    I see intensity minutes in the activities logged by the Tacx app. 

    Heart rate on the daily timeline comes from your activity tracker which is your watch. You will not get the HR from the activity on to the daily timeline. That is how it works for all activities.
