Sworkit has now introduced another way to connect with your fitness data on Android. You can continue to use our Strava, MyFitnessPal, and Fitbit integrations, as is. Google Fit can remain as your fitness app to log steps and workouts in Sworkit as well, but you'll now have the option of using any other apps that have Health Connect integrated. This includes the often-requested Samsung Health.
To use Health Connect to log steps, distance, and workouts for challenges, first log into the Sworkit Android App, available from the Google Play Store:
Once you have Sworkit installed, sign in or create an account, and go to Settings in the ☰ menu on the upper left side of the Sworkit home screen. (Verify that you are on version 11.3.0 or later.)
You should see "Health Connect" under SYNC YOUR STEPS & WORKOUTS
**If you see the prompt, "Go to Play Store," your device doesn't come with Health Connect. Click this prompt to be taken directly to the Play Store and download Health Connect. After downloading, come back to Sworkit Settings. You should now see this screen when you select Health Connect.
Select Connect with Health Connect. You should now be taken to a permissions screen.
Make sure your desired permissions are toggled ON. **You can always edit this from the Health Connect app itself (you must search Android Settings to access it, it's not visible in your app tray)
Now that your Sworkit Health Connect is set up, any apps you regularly use for workout, step, or distance tracking will be connected directly to Sworkit as well!

FAQ
What health data does Sworkit sync from other apps?
We receive your step counts, distance moved, and workout activities from Health Connect. We can send Sworkit workouts and manually added activities (like a bowling session or a treadmill walk) to other apps.
Can I sync steps from Sworkit to another app with Health Connect?
Since Sworkit only imports steps from other apps, we don't offer this option.
Can I turn off sending workouts to Health Connect but still import them?
Yes. From Settings=> Health Connect (while Connected) toggle the Send workouts off:
Does Garmin have an integration with Health Connect?
Not at this time. You will still have to use another third-party app to serve as a bridge between Garmin and Health Connect. Here is a suggestion with simple instructions: https://www.reaction-club.com/sync-garmin-with-android-health-connect/
