Fix a Garmin workout missing from LiftTrack

What to check when a strength session you recorded on your Garmin watch is not in your LiftTrack History, most likely fix first.

When a session from your watch is not in LiftTrack, the usual cause is that your watch has not synced with Garmin Connect since you saved it. LiftTrack gets each session from Garmin Connect, so nothing arrives until Garmin Connect has it.

You saved the session on your watch as a Strength activity.
Your watch synced with the Garmin Connect app, and the session shows in Garmin Connect.
LiftTrack sends a Workout synced from Garmin notification, and the session is under History on the Progress tab.

If the session is not in Garmin Connect yet

Your watch still holds the session. LiftTrack receives it only after Garmin Connect does.

Open the Garmin Connect app on your phone so your watch syncs with it.
Check that the session now shows in Garmin Connect.
In LiftTrack, open the Progress tab and look under History. To see every session, tap View all.

If Profile shows Connect Garmin

Your Garmin is not connected to LiftTrack, or the connection expired. Go to HomeProfileConnections. A connected Garmin shows Disconnect Garmin; Connect Garmin means LiftTrack is not receiving your sessions.

Tap Connect Garmin. Your browser opens Garmin’s sign in page.
Sign in to Garmin and allow LiftTrack access. The browser returns you to LiftTrack, and the row changes to Disconnect Garmin.

Sessions you save from then on come to LiftTrack. A session recorded while your Garmin was not connected does not arrive later; it stays in Garmin Connect. To add it to LiftTrack, log it as a completed workout if it was scheduled that day.

If the session shows 0 sets

The session is in LiftTrack, but you recorded it with the watch’s Strength activity and no workout, so the watch sent no exercises. The workout review shows 0 under SETS, and under Your sets it offers ways to add them.

Review for Strength with DURATION 49m, 0 sets and 274 calories, and Take photo, Choose from library, Describe workout and Search exercises under Your sets, above Save review and Edit sets — A Garmin session recorded without a workout arrives with no sets to fill in.

Tap Search exercises, add what you did, and enter each set. The full steps are in record on your Garmin, fill in the details after.

If History shows Details not synced

Your watch ran an old copy of the workout that no longer exists in Garmin Connect, so LiftTrack could not match the sets to exercises. This happens when the workout was deleted from Garmin Connect, or sent again as a new copy, after your watch last synced. The session still shows in History with its duration, sets and volume, marked Details not synced.

A session from an old watch copy: totals only, marked Details not synced.

History with Upper Body Strength from today at 52m, 16 sets and 14,280 lb, tagged Details not synced — A session from an old watch copy: totals only, marked Details not synced.

This is a known limitation: the sets from that session cannot be recovered in LiftTrack, and the session does not count toward exercise history or progressions. The full activity stays in Garmin Connect.

On the Progress tab, tap the session under History. The Couldn’t match this workout sheet shows the workout’s name, when the watch tracked it, and the duration, sets, reps, volume, calories and heart rate it recorded.
Tap Close to keep the entry, or tap Delete workout, then Delete workout again in the dialog, to remove it.

Couldn't match this workout sheet for Upper Body Strength, with duration, sets, reps, volume, calories, average and max heart rate, Saved in Garmin Connect only, Close and Delete workout — The sheet for an out of sync session, with Close and Delete workout.

If the workout was scheduled that day, the workaround is to delete the entry and log the session by hand with Log completed workout. To avoid it next time, open the Garmin Connect app so your watch syncs before you start a workout.

If you ran a workout built in Garmin Connect

LiftTrack imports two kinds of Strength sessions: workouts sent from LiftTrack, and sessions recorded with no workout. A workout you built in Garmin Connect, or added to Garmin Connect from another app, does not come to LiftTrack.

The workaround is to build the workout in LiftTrack and send it to your watch. Sessions from it come back with every set filled in.

If you recorded it as another activity type

LiftTrack imports only Strength activities. A session saved as Cardio, HIIT, Yoga or any other activity type does not come to LiftTrack. Next time, start the Strength activity on your watch, or start the workout LiftTrack sent.

If you have more than one LiftTrack account

Sessions go only to the LiftTrack account your Garmin is connected to. If you signed in with a different email, the session is in the other account. Sign in with the account that shows Disconnect Garmin under HomeProfileConnections, or connect your Garmin to the account you use now.

If none of these fixed it

Contact support with the date and time of the session, your watch model, the activity type the watch saved it as, and whether it shows in Garmin Connect. To understand how a session travels from your watch back to LiftTrack, see how Garmin sync works. Contact support
