Garmin and Peloton now sync workouts both ways
Peloton workouts can now sync automatically into Garmin Connect, adding the missing reverse direction to a native integration that launched in 2025. Activities from Peloton bikes, treadmills and the Peloton app can now appear inside Garmin Connect natively, without needing third party tools.
When it launched, the integration only worked one way. Garmin activities could flow into the Peloton app, but Peloton workouts could not be pushed back into Garmin Connect.
That changes now. Once you link your Garmin account inside the Peloton app’s connected services settings, workouts start moving between the two platforms automatically. Someone using a Garmin watch for outdoor runs and a Peloton bike for indoor sessions can now keep their entire training history in one place inside Garmin Connect.
How the new sync works
Peloton users can link their Garmin account inside the Peloton app. The feature is controlled through toggles inside the Peloton app’s connected services settings. Users can enable Garmin to receive Peloton workouts, send Garmin activities into Peloton, or activate both directions.
Activities arrive in Garmin Connect as standard workouts carrying duration, distance, calories and heart rate where available. Cycling sessions can also include cadence and power data depending on the equipment used.
Some things do not make the trip. Certain Peloton specific metrics stay behind. For example, incline data from treadmill sessions is not currently included in the activity file that lands in Garmin Connect. The core workout information does transfer across though, which is enough for most users.
Closing a gap users worked around for years
The lack of Peloton to Garmin sync had been a long standing frustration. Many users turned to third party services like SyncMyWorkout to bridge the gap, tools that became popular precisely because there was no native way to push Peloton sessions into Garmin Connect.
The new update makes that workaround unnecessary. Once the accounts are linked, Peloton sessions flow directly into Garmin Connect without extra steps.
Why this matters for Garmin training data
This is where the update becomes genuinely useful. Garmin Connect uses your workout history to calculate training load, recovery and readiness. When Peloton sessions were absent from that log, the picture was incomplete, particularly for anyone doing a large chunk of their weekly training on a Peloton bike through winter.
With the sync in place, those indoor sessions can now feed into Garmin’s metrics alongside everything else. The result is a training history that actually reflects what you have been doing.
For anyone who spent years routing Peloton sessions through third party tools just to get them into Garmin Connect, that workaround is no longer needed. Linking the two accounts is all it takes.
