How to Sync Stronglifts Workouts with Google Fit

Stronglifts can sync your workouts, workout duration, calories burned, and body weight with Google Fit when using an Android device.

Here's how you can enable Google Fit synchronization...

1. Open Stronglifts on your Android device
2. Go to Settings > Google Fit.
3. Enable GoogleFit.
4. Grant Stronglifts permission to send your workouts to Google Fit.

Please note that Google is shutting down Google Fit on June 30th, 2025 (source). Health Connect is the new Android app that gathers health and fitness data from different apps on your device. You can find more information about it here. One of the main differences with Google Fit is that Health Connect does not associate your data with a Google account.

To sync your workouts with Health Connect, please see this guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information will Stronglifts sync to Google Fit?

• Body-weight
  • Stronglifts will pull your body weight from Google Fit so you don't need to enter it manually. Example: you may have a digital scale synced with Google Fit.
  • When you weigh yourself, your body weight will sync to Google Fit and then to Stronglifts. If you manually enter your weight in StrongLifts, it will sync back to Google Fit.
• Workout
  • Stronglifts will sync your done workouts and workout duration to Google Fit. They will account for your daily activity goals.
• Calories
  • Stronglifts will sync your estimated calories burned to Google Fit.

Will my old workouts show in Google Fit too?

No. Stronglifts will only sync the workouts that you logged after enabling Google Fit.

Say you used Stronglifts for one month and logged 12 workouts. Google Fit was not enabled yet when you logged those workouts. When you enable Google Fit those 12 workouts will not sync to Google Fit. However, every new workout you log will now sync with Google Fit.

Troubleshooting

My Stronglifts workouts don't show in Google Fit

If you log a new workout and it doesn't show in Google Fit, Stronglifts may not have permission from Google to sync your workout. You can get the permission prompts again by reinstalling Stronglifts. Here's how to do this:

1. Go to Stronglifts > Settings > Profile.
   • Log in if you haven't yet to back up your workouts to our server. This step is necessary so you don't lose them after reinstalling the app. Once you're logged in, go to step 2.
2. Remove Stronglifts from Google Fit
   • Open Google Fit
   • Go to Profile > Settings > Manage Connected Apps > Stronglifts
   • Tap "Delete all connections"
3. Reinstall Stronglifts
   • Tap/hold the Stronglifts icon on your home screen
   • Select App info > Uninstall
   • Reinstall Stronglifts (download link).
   • Log back in to recover your workouts and purchases. Go to Stronglifts > Settings > Profile.
4. Enable Google Fit in Stronglifts
   • Go to Stronglifts > Settings > Google Fit > Enable
   • When prompted, grant Stronglifts permission to sync with Google Fit
   • Open Google Fit > Profile > Settings > Manage Connected Apps
   • If Stronglifts shows here, you are all set.
5. Sync your workouts
   • Open Stronglifts > Start Workout > Log a few sets > Tap Finish.
   • Open Google Fit > Journal > Tap the refresh button.
   • Your Stronglifts workout will now show.

I reinstalled Stronglifts but my workouts still don't show in Google Fit

The account that you set up in Google Fit might be different than the one you granted access to when you enabled Google Fit in Stronglifts.

1. Open Google Fit
2. Tap your profile picture (top right corner)
3. Note the Google account that you're logged in with

You can log out from Google Fit and log in with your other Google account. Alternatively, you can reinstall Stronglifts using the steps described above. When you enable Google Fit again in Stronglifts, grant access to the same account that you set up in Google Fit.
