Peloton to add Garmin Connect sync in upcoming app update
Peloton looks set to introduce native support for Garmin Connect. The long-overdue feature appears ready and should roll out in the coming weeks as part of an app update.
If you use both Garmin and Peloton, you’ve probably dealt with the headache of syncing data between the two. Until now, there’s been no direct connection. That meant relying on third-party solutions to keep your stats consistent across platforms. Tools like SyncMyWorkout or Peloton to Garmin (P2G) filled the gap, but they brought another subscription or added layer of complexity into the mix.
The sync experience should finally get easier
That’s now about to change. According to a leak from AppSensa, Peloton has built Garmin integration directly into its app. The source says the feature is complete and just waiting to go live. Once it does, workouts on your Peloton bike or treadmill should automatically appear in your Garmin Connect feed.
This kind of syncing has always felt like a missing piece, especially for people who prefer to keep their full training history inside the Garmin ecosystem. While heart rate broadcasting from a Garmin watch to the Peloton bike has long been possible, syncing the workout data in the other direction has never been straightforward. Even Garmin’s own documentation still points users to third-party services.
What this means for existing workarounds
Peloton has not made an official announcement yet, but the timing makes sense. With Apple and Samsung pushing harder into connected fitness, and Garmin steadily growing its software and services side, Peloton needs to keep its app experience flexible. Integrating Garmin directly should help in making the platform more open and less siloed.
It also has practical benefits for users. If you log a Peloton ride, you won’t have to re-export it or wait for another app to push the data to Garmin. The sync will be automatic and presumably consistent with other fitness apps Peloton already supports, like Strava or Apple Health.

Whether Peloton also plans to allow Garmin data to flow into its own platform is still unclear. That might be less likely, since Peloton doesn’t currently import structured workouts or metrics from other services. For now, this looks to be a one-way sync aimed at making life easier for people who train in multiple ecosystems.
There’s still some value in third-party tools, especially if you want more control over formatting or historical syncing. But for most people, a native link between Garmin Connect and Peloton will probably be enough. And if it works as expected, it’s one less subscription to juggle.
