Sync your Fitbit with Runnify and get the most out of your training

Fitbit Synchronization with Runnify

Why should I sync my Fitbit watch with Runnify? Although Fitbit currently doesn’t allow workouts to be sent directly from Runnify, connecting your watch with the app allows you to:

  • View all your completed workouts in Runnify once they are recorded with your Fitbit watch
  • Track your progress without missing a single session
  • Keep an updated activity history linked to your training plan
  • Adjust your workouts based on your actual performance

In short, tracking your progress with Runnify is absolutely possible and beneficial!

Benefits of syncing your Fitbit

Syncing your Fitbit watch with Runnify will help you get the most out of your training plan. Connecting your Fitbit watch will allow you to:

  • View your completed workouts in Runnify, with key data such as pace, heart rate, distance, and duration
  • Evaluate your progress in the training plan, even if you can’t receive sessions directly on your watch
  • Keep control of your plan from one place, linking what you’ve done with what you need to do

How can I train with Fitbit and Runnify?

Since Runnify cannot send workouts directly to your Fitbit watch, we recommend the following steps:

  • Check your Runnify workout before going out for a run
  • Start your Fitbit watch as usual (pressing the ‘Play’ button)
  • Complete the indicated workout
  • When finished, save your workout and Fitbit will automatically send it to Runnify
  • You’ll be able to see your results inside the Runnify app

This option allows you to make the most of your Fitbit within your Runnify plan, keeping track, personalization, and analysis of your progress, even if the integration is not complete. Fitbit remains an excellent tool to monitor your daily performance and see how you progress in your training.
