Hi,

I have created a Garmin IQ app and companion website that will allow you to create/modify/download and share Garmin Workouts with groups of other users. The APP can be found in the Garmin IQ Store…

Garmin doesn't have a supported way of doing this, but if your group members use Chrome on a PC/Mac, they can use this extension:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/share-your-garmin-connect/kdpolhnlnkengkmfncjdbfdehglepmff?hl=en

It adds a Download button to individual workouts on the Garmin Connect website, so you can download a workout JSON file. You send that file to your friends, and they press the new Import button in the workout list to import the file.

I see a lot of people requesting this feature, and Garmin is really the only one who can make it happen seamlessly. Might want to suggest this idea here:

You can also exchange directly the FIT files from device to device. Use the USB cable to download the workout from the folder //GARMIN/Workouts and have your counterpart putting it into the same folder on their watch.

Agreed, but I've found that's usually the last thing anyone wants to do (use the USB cable to transfer files), when this question comes up. Personally, I found the amount of time for the watch to go in and out of USB mode is maddeningly long.

Yes, possible. Just giving it as an alternative solution for those not willing to install any browser plugins.

Fair enough.

In that case, here is a hybrid solution which:

1) does not require a browser extension

2) uses a "bookmarklet" which allows you to download a workout FIT file from your own Garmin Connect account with a browser (including mobile browsers), so you can send it to your friends

3) requires the recipient of the file to connect their watch via USB

Hi all – I’m working on a website that will allow people to share Garmin workouts with friends or groups. And share them as easily as sending a message, none of this complex download .fit file stuff.

I’m still in the early stages of development and I’m looking for some Garmin user feedback.

You can read more about the project + ask for features by filling in this questionnaire:

Thanks!

Hi,

I have created a Garmin IQ app and companion website that will allow you to create/modify/download and share Garmin Workouts with groups of other users. The APP can be found in the Garmin IQ Store - Called "WRShare" and the web site is https://wrshare.co.uk - it will create/share both running and cycle workouts.
