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.

Why do my old Stronglifts workouts not show in Google Fit?

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.

Your new Stronglifts workouts may not sync due to an issue with Google permissions. The easiest way to resolve this is to reinstall the app so you get the permission prompts again.

Here's how to do this:
