You don't need to connect each device separately to FitConnect. Just connect Health Connect once, and all your wearable data flows through automatically.
Android Only
Health Connect is Android's unified health data platform
Requires Android 14 or later (or Android 9+ with Health Connect app installed). iOS users should connect via Apple Health.
How It Works
Health Connect is Google's health data platform that acts as a central hub for all your fitness and health data on Android:
- Your wearable syncs to its app – Fitbit, Garmin, Samsung Health, etc.
- The app writes to Health Connect – Most major fitness apps support this
- FitConnect reads from Health Connect – We automatically sync your data
- Your coach sees your progress – Steps, heart rate, sleep, and more
Check your wearable's app settings to ensure it's writing data to Health Connect. Look for "Connected apps" or "Health Connect" in the settings menu.
Connecting Health Connect
- Open the FitConnect app on your Android device
- Go to Settings → Integrations
- Tap Connect next to Health Connect
- Grant the requested permissions when prompted
- Your data will start syncing automatically
Health Connect keeps your data on-device by default. FitConnect only accesses the specific data types you grant permission for.
Data Types We Sync
FitConnect reads the following data from Health Connect:
Steps
Daily step count from your phone and connected wearables.
Heart Rate
Resting and active heart rate from compatible devices.
Calories & Activity
Active calories burned and workout sessions.
Sleep
Sleep duration and sleep stages (when available).
Setting Up Your Wearable
To ensure your wearable data syncs with FitConnect, make sure your wearable's app is connected to Health Connect:
Fitbit
Open Fitbit app → Profile → App Settings → Health Connect → Enable all data types
Garmin
Open Garmin Connect → Settings → Health Connect → Connect and enable permissions
Samsung Health
Open Samsung Health → Menu → Settings → Connected Services → Health Connect
Huawei Health
Open Huawei Health → Me → Settings → Data Sharing → Health Connect
Privacy & Control
You have full control over what data FitConnect can access:
- Granular permissions – Choose exactly which data types to share
- On-device storage – Your data stays on your phone unless you share it
- Revoke anytime – Disconnect from Settings → Integrations at any time
- Coach access controls – Choose which coaches can see your health data
If you disconnect Health Connect, your historical data will remain in FitConnect, but no new data will sync until you reconnect.
