How to sync data between Google Fit with Fitbit

Exercise is on the incline, it can be seen with the ever-growing revenue the gym industry sees year-on-year currently standing at €85bn & the sheer number of sub-conscious exercisers out there that have benefited massively from the covid-19 outbreak. Such as delivery riders on bikes, (start-ups such as Getir have seen an employee count jump to more than 30,000) & new dog-walkers are all contributing to the growth of general exercise around the world. More exercisers mean more mobile apps that can assist exercisers in keeping track, goal-setting and challenging friends & family on daily, weekly or monthly challenges.

Quite often though, these apps are not rewarding in providing an extra incentive to work out on it daily and keep up with goals/targets. Eventually, these apps will likely become unused and unfortunately, the user’s progress chart takes a plunge, the app has simply become recording spaces on your phone to store exercise data. A lot of users go through this cycle, 30% of fitness apps were deleted from people’s devices in 2021. So how can users be incentivized, goal-orientated and motivated enough to keep returning to their fitness app?

Like many people who take care of their health and do sports, you probably monitor your form with Google Fit. Despite the recent acquisition of Fitbit by Google, syncing your Fitbit data with Google Fit is not an easy task.

Although there is no official support for syncing data between Fitbit and Google Fit, some third-party apps make it possible. If you're a Wear OS user, you're most likely using Fitbit. While Fitbit stands out with some extra features, google fit stands out with its design.

Due to Google's acquisition of Fitbit, users expect integration as soon as. However, there is an easy way to keep apps in sync until this integration happens.

Before we begin these steps, we're assuming you have a Fitbit device and account, as well as a Google account using Google Fit. To sync Fitbit with Google Fit, you need to use a third-party app. The application to be used in this context is FitToFit.
