Send workouts to Garmin
Updated November 1, 2026
Once Garmin is connected, planned workouts sync to Garmin Connect automatically.
How it works
- 1
Connect Garmin
From the web or the iPhone app. See Connect Garmin to Shape.
- 2
Plan a workout
It goes to Garmin Connect on its own. To send one by hand, open it and press Sync to Garmin.
- 3
Sync your watch
Shape only writes to Garmin Connect, so your watch has to sync with Connect to get the workout.
It only goes one way
Workouts you plan in Garmin Connect don’t appear in Shape, because Garmin doesn’t let anyone read them. Plan in Shape and they’ll end up in both places.
If you change a workout
Edit a planned workout in Shape and it updates in Garmin Connect automatically. Delete it and it’s removed there too. Sync your watch to get the change.
If you delete a workout in Garmin Connect
It stays in Shape, and comes back on Garmin if you edit it. To remove it everywhere, delete it in Shape.
