Sync iFit activities to Garmin

Nico6211 over 3 years ago

Hello,

I have and iFit account and i configure sync apps (Garmin connect and Strava) but it's not really working.

iFit <-> Strava OK

Garmin to iFit OK

iFit to Garmin NOK

Activities are not sync from iFit to Garmin

Does anybody have a solution or had the same problem ?

Thanks for you help.

THIS! I've been a Garmin user for years. All of my family wears Garmin watches. Now that we have an iFit treadmill, I want the activities to sync to Garmin. I get that means that iFit and Garmin need…

Agreed. Allowing for Connect to pull iFit data does not impede Garmin’s business; in fact, this is a complementary relationship that should be a no-brainer. This will inform my future fitness product purchases…

I asked the same question. Not much of an answer, though. Basically, the answer is to set up from iFit; which I have done. iFit has a hook for Garmin, but there is no iFit connector from Garmin. I think…

Thanks for this post. I am frustrated with this same issue. Any new updates from this thread? I have android so do not have RunGap available to link the accounts.

Not probably the answer you want but I just use my watch and then calibrate the distance on ifit to the watch and I get the data I need but I agree its frustrating.

No problem using zwift so should be no problem this way also

THIS! I've been a Garmin user for years. All of my family wears Garmin watches. Now that we have an iFit treadmill, I want the activities to sync to Garmin. I get that means that iFit and Garmin need to partner, but COME ON. Please figure this out! I pay for my Garmin watches, and I pay for the iFit subscription. Y'all should be able to work together to get us the functionality we need.

100% agree and am equally frustrated!! The amount of $ I've spent on Garmin as well as iFit. It's crazy they can't figure this out!!

It seems the only program that talks back and forth with Garmin for me so far is MyFitnessPal. I love it. I just wish either Garmin or MFP would synch with iFIT.

everyone should avoid ifit and nordictrack. I recently got a treadmill and spent $4500 only to recently discover you have to have a paid ifit subscription to sync your data. Unreal a person would have to spend this much only to learn syncing to garmin and strava is not considered standard. Unreal how bad of user experience this is.

I have no desire or need to have their ridiculous peleton style workouts to use a treadmill. I wish I could return this thing

Strava is my central hub where iFit & Garmin push to,

iFit blocked an app from pulling data and pushing to Garmin which worked for a year.

i have a paid subscription, and i can only push to strava, not to garmin

funny you pay that much and can't afford the subscription - that is the point of the feature

I love the runs. I had an injury and have always run on the road. Mixing it up on a treadmill with trainers has been great.

Best treadmill in this price range. IMHO.

But not happy that Garmin doesn’t connect with IFIT. Silly needing two calendars. I end up using Strava. Completely agree. Garmin really? I have purchased at least 8 devices for family over the years. Sinc please.
