Syncing to Garmin

1. Connecting ROXFIT to Garmin

ROXFIT connects to Garmin via Garmin Connect using a secure OAuth link. A one-time setup, then it's done.

Steps

1. Open ROXFIT, go to the Profile page and tap the settings icon in the top-right corner.
2. Tap Connected Apps & Devices.
3. Select Garmin.
4. You'll be redirected to the Garmin Connect sign-in page.
5. Log in with your Garmin Connect credentials.
6. Make sure both permission toggles are switched to ON (both are needed).
7. Tap Agree to authorise ROXFIT.
8. You'll be redirected back to ROXFIT with a confirmation.

2. Installing the ROXFIT Data Field

The ROXFIT Data Field is what makes your Garmin actually useful during a session. It's a custom display that shows your workout steps, pace targets, and live timing during any activity. It includes all the data you need, on one screen.

What it shows

Install the Data Field

1. Open the Garmin Connect IQ app on your phone (or visit the Connect IQ Store).
2. Search for "ROXFIT".
3. Tap Install.

Set it up on your watch

1. Go to the workout MENU on your Garmin.
2. Select Activities & Apps (not available on all Garmin models).
3. Select Run.
4. Select Run Settings > Data Screens > Add > Custom Data.
5. Select 1 Data Field - this gives ROXFIT the full screen, which it needs to display everything clearly.
6. Select ConnectIQ Data Fields and choose ROXFIT.

3. Syncing your PaceMe splits

Built your race plan in PaceMe? This is how it gets onto your wrist. Your pace targets are embedded into every workout step. The ROXFIT Data Field shows your target pace and a live +/- delta for every running segment as you race.

Steps

1. On your Race Calculator page, tap the event you wish to race, then tap Add pacing to wearable.
2. Select your Garmin from the device list.
3. Choose your settings (see recommended below).
4. Tap Sync to Garmin.
5. Wait for the confirmation: "Workout synced to [Device Name]!"
6. Then send it to your watch via Garmin Connect - section 6.

4. Syncing a training workout

Any ROXFIT workout - training sessions, custom builds, plan workouts - can all sync to Garmin the same way, via Garmin Connect.

Steps

1. Open the workout in the ROXFIT app.
2. Tap Add to Wearable at the top of the workout preview.
3. Select Garmin from the device list.
4. Choose your sync options (see section 5 if you're not sure).
5. Tap Sync to Garmin.
6. Wait for confirmation, then send to your watch via Garmin Connect - section 6.

5. Understanding sync options

This is worth reading before your first race sync. The settings here affect how your workout behaves on the watch. Get them wrong and you'll be pressing the lap button twice as many times as you need to mid-ROXZONE - not exactly the race-day experience you want.

Sport Type

Running Auto-Lap

Lap On (HYROX race workouts only)

This controls how many times you press the lap button at each station. On race day, fewer presses is better.

6. Sending the workout to your watch

After syncing from ROXFIT, the workout lands in Garmin Connect. You then need to push it from Garmin Connect to your watch. It's one extra but vital step - the same as sending any other run or activity you plan in Garmin Connect.

Steps

1. Open the Garmin Connect app on your phone.
2. Go to More > Training & Planning > Workouts.
3. Find your ROXFIT workout in the list.
4. Tap the Send to Watch icon in the top right corner.
5. Wait for it to sync. Make sure your watch is connected via Bluetooth. Give it a minute or two.

7. Running your workout

Steps

1. On your Garmin, select your Run activity (or the activity type you synced with).
2. Go to Options > Workouts (you may need to select My Workouts depending on your device).
3. Find your ROXFIT workout and tap Do Workout.
4. If the ROXFIT data screen doesn't appear instantly, scroll through the data pages to find it.

During the session

The Data Field shows your current exercise, target, and next exercise. Press the lap button to advance when you complete each exercise. Pace delta and heart rate run throughout.

Finishing

Save your workout on the watch when you're done. Don't discard it. That data is what syncs back to ROXFIT. If you hit discard, it's gone for good.

Note: You cannot edit the splits of the workout or race once they have been completed - so if you forget to lap your watch, we cannot alter it.

8. Viewing your results

Results flow back to ROXFIT automatically. You don't need to do anything manually, but you do need to make sure the chain completes.

How it works

1. Save your workout on the Garmin watch.
2. Your watch syncs to Garmin Connect (keep your phone nearby with the app open).
3. Garmin Connect sends the data to ROXFIT automatically.
4. Open ROXFIT - your completed workout appears in your feed.

The sync typically takes 1-5 minutes after your watch connects to Garmin Connect. If it's been more than 10 minutes, check that the activity has appeared in Garmin Connect first. If it's there but not in ROXFIT, give it a few more minutes. If it's not in Garmin Connect at all, sync your watch manually via the app.

What syncs to ROXFIT

• Exercise splits and lap times per station
• Running pace per segment
• Heart rate throughout
• Total workout duration
• ROXZONE times (HYROX workouts)
• Garmin device info (e.g. "Garmin Fenix 7")
