Only sync supported activities to Strava

I have my Strava account linked to my Garmin Connect account, so activities sync automatically. This works great for sports like running, cycling and swimming.

However, other activities (such as gym sessions) are recorded as 'bike rides' on Strava, unless I later manually edit the activity type on Strava separately. Moreover, I don't particularly want these activities syncing with Strava. Is there a way to manually select which types of activities sync with Strava? Or at least a way to get Strava to match the activity type correctly (Strava does support a wide range of activities - https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216919407-Other-Activity-Types-on-Strava)?

Nope! All or nothing.

And you'll need to talk to Strava about matching the activity names.

I would also like this feature, very annoying when all activities go through to Strava

Yes, please add the option on Garmin to only sync certain activities to Strava. Thanks!

This is really a feature that should be implemented by Strava, not Garmin. It is Strava who plugs into the API of Garmin. This API offers the acces to the data in your account, but it is Strava who decides what to do with it, or whether it reads all, or just a part. The API permits both of it. So speak to Strava, and if the requests are frequent enough, they may start to listen.

Hi Garmin - could you please address this please or let us know why it’s not feasible?

Look forward to hearing, thank you

Did you try asking Strava? As I explained just above, that looks more like their job.
