How to Sync Fitbod with Strava
Fitbod offers a native Strava connection on iOS. Once connected, Fitbod can post completed strength sessions to Strava and import supported public Strava cardio activities back into Fitbod for more accurate recovery and recommendations.

Connect with Strava
Tap Connect with Strava to open Strava's authorization flow in Safari.
Authorize the integration
Log in to Strava, approve the requested permissions, and optionally sync the last 7 days of Strava activity during setup.
Verify the first sync
Finish a Fitbod workout and confirm it posts to Strava, or check that a supported public Strava cardio activity appears in Fitbod.
Workarounds & Tips
- 💡If a workout came from another app and reached Apple Health with Strava as the source, either make the Strava activity public for direct Strava import or connect the original app directly to Apple Health.
- 💡For unsupported Strava activity types, manual logging inside Fitbod is more reliable than expecting the Strava import to cover them.
- 💡If you need more than the optional 7-day backfill, plan around the fact that Fitbod's setup flow is not a full historical migration tool.

- ✓Supported public Strava cardio activities can import into Fitbod
- ✓Setup includes an optional 7-day Strava backfill
Cons
- ✗Fitbod's current Strava help flow is iOS-only
- ✗Private Strava activities do not import into Fitbod
- ✗Unsupported Strava activity types are ignored
- ✗Historical backfill is limited to the last 7 days during setup
Troubleshooting
⚠️ The Connect with Strava button does nothing
Check iPhone Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps and make sure Safari is enabled, then try the connection flow again.
⚠️ Strava workouts are not showing in Fitbod
Confirm the activity is Public in Strava, verify the activity type is one of Fitbod's supported import types, and disconnect then reconnect Strava in Fitbod if the connection seems stale.
⚠️ A workout is missing when Apple Health is also connected
Check whether the workout entered Apple Health with Strava as the source. Fitbod intentionally filters those entries to avoid duplicates, so connect the original app to Apple Health directly when possible.
