Garmin and Peloton are now syncing to use both modes
Peloton workouts can now be automatically synced to Garmin Connect, adding reverse direction to the native integration launched in 2025. Activities from Peloton bikes, treadmills and the Peloton app can now appear within Garmin Connect natively, without the need for third-party tools.
When it was introduced, integration only worked in one way. Garmin activities could be imported into the Peloton app, but Peloton workouts could not be restored to Garmin Connect.
That is changing now. Once you’ve linked your Garmin account within the Peloton app’s connected services settings, workouts start moving between the two platforms automatically. Someone who uses a Garmin watch for outdoor runs and a Peloton bike for indoor sessions can now keep all of their training history in one place within Garmin Connect.
How the new sync works
Peloton users can link their Garmin account within the Peloton app. The feature is controlled by changing within the connected settings of the Peloton app service. Users can allow Garmin to receive Peloton workouts, send Garmin activities to Peloton, or enable both directions.
Activities come to Garmin Connect as standard workouts that carry duration, distance, calories and heart rate where available. Cycling sessions can also include cadence and power data depending on the equipment used.
Some things don’t make the trip. Certain Peloton metrics lag behind. For example, incline data from treadmill sessions is currently not included in the activity file that resides in Garmin Connect. The important information of the exercise is not conveyed at all, which is enough for most users.
To close the gap users have been working for almost years
The lack of Peloton to Garmin sync has been a lingering frustration. Many users turned to third-party services like SyncMyWorkout to fill the gap, tools that became popular precisely because there was no native way to push Peloton times to Garmin Connect.
The new update makes that adjustment unnecessary. Once the accounts are linked, Peloton sessions flow into Garmin Connect without any additional steps.
Why this is important for Garmin training data
This is where the review becomes really useful. Garmin Connect uses your workout history to calculate training load, recovery and fitness. When Peloton sessions weren’t on that log, the picture was incomplete, especially for anyone who does the bulk of their weekly training on a Peloton bike in the winter.
With local sync, those indoor sessions can now go into Garmin’s metrics alongside everything else. The result is a training history that shows what you’ve been doing.
For anyone who has spent years running Peloton sessions through third-party tools just to import them into Garmin Connect, that functionality is no longer needed. Linking the two accounts is all that is required.
