eFit connects to your activity through Google Health. Link it once and eFit records your steps, Active Zone Minutes, heart rate, and nutrition data automatically every night. There is nothing to upload by hand.
Why eFit uses Google Health
Google Health is Google's central hub for health and fitness data. Your phone, smartwatch, and fitness apps send their data to Google Health, and eFit reads it from there with your permission. One connection covers every device you use.
eFit no longer connects the Google Fit app or the Fitbit app directly. Those older connections have been replaced by Google Health. Your Fitbit, Garmin, and Samsung devices still work, they now send their data through Google Health.
What you need first
- Android phone: set up Android Health Connect so your tracker's data reaches Google Health. See Connect on Android With Health Connect.
- iPhone: install the free Google Health app from the App Store and connect it to Apple Health. See Connect eFit on an iPhone.
- The Google account where your fitness data lives. Note which account this is before you start.
Connect in three steps
- Open the Sync Tracker page. Log in to eFit, go to your Dashboard, and select Sync Tracker. Direct link: /dashboard/sync.php.
- Tap "Connect with Google Health". You will be taken to Google to sign in. Choose the account your fitness data lives in.
- Approve access. Check every permission box so eFit can read your steps and active minutes, then finish. eFit returns to your dashboard with the connection confirmed.
After this, your activity syncs automatically each night.
What data eFit reads
- Steps - your daily step count
- Active Zone Minutes (AZM) - minutes of moderate and vigorous activity
- Heart rate - when your device records it
- Nutrition data - when a connected app logs your meals
eFit only reads this data. It never changes or deletes anything in your Google account, and you can disconnect at any time.
Works with your data from
- Fitbit devices
- Android phones and their built-in step sensors
- iPhones, through the Google Health app
- Wear OS and Samsung Galaxy smartwatches
- Garmin and Samsung Health, through Android Health Connect
Disconnect or switch accounts
To disconnect Google Health or change the account eFit reads from, open Sync Tracker and select Unsync Fitness Tracker, or see Disconnect or Change Your Tracker.
