You can automatically sync your Fitbit activities to Strava. To authorize the connection between Fitbit and Strava, go to http://strava.fitbit.com/. From the Strava mobile app, iOS users can go to Settings > Applications, Services, and Devices > Connect a new device to Strava > Fitbit. Android users can go to Settings > Link Other Services > Connect a device to Strava.
- Only new activities will sync automatically after creating the connection. If you wish to export a previous activity from Fitbit and upload it directly to Strava, please refer to Fitbit's instructions on data export.
- Activities with no GPS data and duplicate activities will not sync to Strava.
What do I do if Fitbit data is not Syncing to Strava?
- Try reconnecting your accounts, syncing your Fitbit tracker, and waiting an hour.
- Confirm that you are not recording a duplicate exercise in the Strava app and Fitbit app/device simultaneously.
- Confirm that you are recording a GPS exercise if using Fitbit (only exercises with GPS on Fitbit will be sent to Strava).
- Confirm that you recorded a new exercise after connecting your accounts (previous exercises won’t be uploaded).
- If you do not have success with the steps above, you can use the TCX export from Fitbit's app and upload it to your Strava account using the steps below.
-
- From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap the Exercise tile.
- Select the activity with the GPS data that you want to export.
- Tap the three dots, then tap Export as TCX File.
- Share or save the file to your mobile device.
-
If you do not see the "Export as a TCX file" option, your activity likely does not contain any GPS data needed to sync to Strava. If that's the case, you would need to contact Fitbit for further information.
