How to sync Fitness data between iPhones without Wi-Fi?

TL;DR - I am wondering if there is a way to sync my Fitness data from the iPhone 13 mini (with no cell or wifi connection possible), to the iPhone 16 Pro?

I had an iPhone 13 mini paired to my Apple Watch Ultra. The iPhone 13 mini broke, and no longer could connect to cell or wifi service. So I was using an old iPhone 7+ (horrendous downgrade..) but continued wearing my Apple Watch. Unfortunately, my Apple Watch was too new to pair with my iPhone 7+, so whenever I would workout, I would sync my Apple Watch to my broken iPhone 13 mini, but because it couldn't connect to wifi or cell service, I had no way to sync to my iCloud. I recently upgraded to the iPhone 16 Pro (an absolute game changer coming from an 8 year old phone) and am wondering if there is a way to sync my Fitness data from the iPhone 13 mini, too the iPhone 16 Pro?

Your fitness data is part of the Health App data, which is automatically synced to iCloud.

So, unless your old iPhone did sync to iCloud, you can not transfer your data to the new iPhone.

Have a look at the related article:

However, there might be a chance to save the data from the old iPhone, if you can create an encrypted backup on a computer and then restore your new iPhone from that backup:

In addition to using iCloud, or if you aren’t using iCloud, you can back up your Health data by encrypting a computer backup. See Back up iPhone.
