Sync Apple Watch with MyFitnessPal

You just need to make sure that health kit integration is active in MyFitnessPal. What happens when I use my watch is that I start a workout, and then when the workout is done, I stop the workout on my watch, and then save the workout. Usually within a minute or two the activity is sync'd up to MyFitnessPal.

I am having this same issue.

Activity shows on my Activity app, and Health. My steps calorie adjustment from the Apple Watch sync with MyFitnessPal, but what doesn’t sync ever is my workout conducted in the Activity app on my watch. Hope that makes sense.

I’ve tried uninstalling, recalibration, made sure all the accesses are turned on etc.

The strange thing is despite all that I still get this whenever logging into MFP, so it clearly isn’t registering ...

This just happened to me. I had "finished/stopped" the workout, so it showed up in my Activity app – but I hadn't yet "Saved" the workout on my watch, so it hadn't synced over to myfitnesspal app yet.

Another little weird thing that I've learned about the Apple Watch

that puzzled me for a bit is that you can't power it off while it's charging.

Cheers!

have you found an app that syncs with the Health apps activities? I've tried reinstalling my fitness pal, turning permissions off/on in health app, and changing sharing permissions in my fitness pal

. Nothing works.

FYI I had this issue recently. Uninstalling the MyFitnessPal app and reinstalling it, then allowing location and motion + fitness data access fixed the issue. You don't lose any of the app data (even though it warns you that you will when you uninstall that you will), because all of the data is saved to the UA servers.

Hi Sterno,

I'm not seeing the Workout/Exercise sync even once I've saved it from my watch. I am having to manually enter it as an exercise in MFP. I've allowed all the read/write options yet still no joy.

To confirm, the workout does appear in Health app, but doesn't push to MFP.

In MFP, it's not clear to me if the Health App is connected or not (pic attached).

Also, with noting that the workout is logged as "other" from my watch. Does this have any effect?

Many thanks,

Kenzil

Hi Kenzil81,

Try this:

On the diary page, under the exercise section there are three dots next to 'add exercise'. tap there and then follow the prompts to add your apple watch steps.

Hello. Did you ever get resolution to this issue? I am in the same boat. Workout is on watch and in Health app but will not show up in MyFitnessPal even though my watch steps do show up. Thanks.

How do I make sure the health kit integration is active? Thank u

yes. what worked for me was to go the the Health app, then sources , then MyFitnesspal. Once there, disable all access and then re-enable it.

after i did they , my exercise data started to appear in MyFitnesspal.

I’m in the same boat tried all the recommendations. Turning on and off permissions through health app and even reinstall MyFitnessPal. But my exercise will not sync to only step data.

Just changed over from Fitbit which work seamlessly. Is Apple Watch designed for fitness tracking or an I better off with my Fitbit?

I was also wondering if you knew what the name of the green app in the Apple Watch is called, it’s a picture of a runner. I was trying to pull it up and the apps so I can find it on my phone and I can’t
