How to Connect Fitbod to Apple Health
Fitbod has a native Apple Health integration on iPhone. Once connected, it can write completed workouts to Apple Health and read approved workout and body composition data back into Fitbod for better recommendations.
Data That Transfers

Approve Apple Health permissions
Follow the Apple Health prompts and allow the read and write permissions you want Fitbod to use.
Double-check permissions in Apple Health
Open Apple Health, tap your profile, then go to Privacy > Apps > Fitbod to confirm the enabled categories.
Finish and sync a workout
Complete a Fitbod workout and confirm the post-workout sync prompt so the session is written to Apple Health.
Workarounds & Tips
- 💡If you use a smart scale or another health app, send those measurements into Apple Health first so Fitbod can read the approved body composition fields from there.
- 💡If your goal is to attach heart rate to strength sessions, use Fitbod with Apple Watch instead of relying on phone-only logging.
- 💡If you want workouts to appear in Apple Fitness, treat Apple Watch as required rather than optional.

Troubleshooting
⚠️ Fitbod workouts are not showing in Apple Health
Open Apple Health and confirm Fitbod still has write access for Workouts, Active Energy, and Heart Rate. Then log another Fitbod workout and make sure you accept the sync prompt at the end.
⚠️ Body composition is not updating in Fitbod
Check Apple Health permissions for Body Fat Percentage, BMI, Lean Body Mass, Waist Circumference, Weight, and Height. Fitbod can only use data that already exists in Apple Health.
⚠️ Apple Watch data is incomplete or the workout did not finalize cleanly
Open Fitbod on both the iPhone and Apple Watch before training, keep them within Bluetooth range, and finalize the workout on your iPhone while Fitbod stays open long enough to sync.
