Getting Started with eFit
Creating your eFit account is a simple process that takes just a few minutes. Follow these steps to get started.
Before You Begin
You'll need:
- Your course registration link (provided by your instructor)
- Your exact LMS username (Canvas, Blackboard, or D2L, not your email)
- A valid payment method ($59 semester fee)
- Basic health information (age, height, weight)
Step 1: Access Registration
Click the registration link provided by your instructor. This link contains your specific course ID, which ensures you're enrolled in the correct class.
Step 2: Create Your Profile
Fill in your personal information:
- First and Last Name - use your legal name as it appears in your school records
- LMS Username - this must exactly match your learning management system username (not your email). This is critical for your grades to sync correctly.
- Password - minimum 8 characters. A strength indicator will help you create a secure password.
- Health Profile - enter your age, gender, height (in inches), and weight (in pounds)
- Timezone - select your local timezone for accurate activity tracking
Step 3: Complete Payment
The semester fee is $59. You can pay via PayPal or credit card. If you have a promo code from your instructor, enter it to receive any applicable discount.
Step 4: Verify and Complete
Complete the verification step and submit your registration. You'll receive a confirmation email with your login details.
Step 5: Connect Your Activity
After registration, you'll be prompted to connect your activity through Google Health, so eFit can record your steps and active minutes automatically. See Connect eFit With Google Health.
Important Notes
- Your LMS username must match exactly, this is how your grades are transferred to your school's gradebook
- Choose whether you want your name visible on the class leaderboard or remain anonymous
