Connect eFit on an iPhone (Google Health App and Apple Health)

eFit works on iPhone through the free Google Health app, which brings your Apple Health activity into your Google account so eFit can read it.

What you need

  • An iPhone with the Health (Apple Health) app, which comes pre-installed.
  • The free Google Health app from the App Store.
  • The Google account you will connect to eFit.

Step 1: Set up the Google Health app

  1. Open the App Store and search for Google Health.
  2. Install and open the app.
  3. Sign in with your Google account.
  4. When prompted, allow Google Health to read your Apple Health data (steps, active energy, heart rate, workouts).

Apple Health already collects steps and activity from your iPhone, your Apple Watch, and any fitness apps that write to it.

Step 2: Connect eFit

  1. Log in to eFit and open Sync Tracker (/dashboard/sync.php).
  2. Tap Connect with Google Health.
  3. Sign in with the same Google account you used in the Google Health app.
  4. Approve every permission so eFit can read your steps and active minutes.

Your iPhone activity now syncs to eFit each night, the same way it does for Android users.

Tips

  • Use the same Google account in both the Google Health app and the eFit connection. A different account is the most common reason activity does not appear.
  • Open the Google Health app now and then so it can pass along your latest Apple Health data.
  • Wear your Apple Watch and carry your iPhone so Apple Health records your steps.
