Choose your workflow
Automatic sync or a one-time history transfer
Connect Garmin and Wahoo in Connections with Pro access. Allow Activity Export for Garmin and workout access for Wahoo. Connecting an account does not turn on automatic sync.
Preview older Garmin workouts
Import missing Garmin history first and wait for the activities to arrive. Under Wahoo in Connections, open Send past activities. Select Garmin imports and your dates, then run Preview. Preview sends nothing.
Review before sending
Review the ready-to-send and skipped counts, then choose Send. Scheduling complete confirms queueing, not delivery. Check Wahoo for the delivered workout after processing.
Transfer limits
Know what moves to Wahoo
This workflow sends recorded FIT activities to your Wahoo account. It keeps activity transfers separate from routes, planned workouts, Sleep, and Health.
Keep the original FIT available
Missing or unsupported original files, merged or derived activities, and activities already sent or queued are skipped. A Garmin device name on a manually uploaded file does not make it a Garmin import.
Allow Wahoo to process the activity
Wahoo processes FIT uploads asynchronously. Queueing an activity is not a delivery confirmation, and this workflow does not promise a download to an ELEMNT device.
Check connection permissions
If a connection shows Reconnect required, reconnect before sending. After Garmin or Wahoo access is revoked, reconnect the provider and explicitly turn automatic activity sync back on when needed.

FAQ
Garmin to Wahoo Guide FAQ
Can Garmin activities sync to Wahoo automatically?
Yes. With Pro, connect Garmin and Wahoo and explicitly enable Wahoo as a Garmin activity destination. Eligible new Garmin FIT imports can then be sent to your Wahoo account automatically.
Can I send older Garmin workouts to Wahoo?
Yes. First import any missing Garmin history into Quantified Self. Under Wahoo in Connections, use Send past activities, choose Garmin imports and a date range, then Preview and review before Send. This one-time send does not enable future automatic sync.
Does Garmin need to stay connected for a saved activity transfer?
A saved Garmin import can be sent after Garmin is disconnected if its original FIT remains available. Wahoo must still be connected and you need Pro access. Automatic sync of new Garmin activities requires both connections.
Will these uploads come back as Wahoo-recorded workouts?
Wahoo does not expose completed workouts that it identifies as coming from third-party applications through its API. Those uploads are not re-imported as Wahoo-recorded activities.
Does this move Garmin routes, training plans, Sleep, or Health?
No. This guide covers recorded FIT activities. GPX and FIT routes, planned workouts, Sleep, and Health use separate workflows and permissions. Sending an activity to your Wahoo account is not a planned-workout or route download to an ELEMNT device.
Can I use Starter for Garmin-to-Wahoo sync?
Provider connections and cross-service activity sync require Pro. Starter includes manual uploads and analysis inside Quantified Self. Review current Pro prices and any trial eligibility before checkout.
