The first time you open it you will be asked for permission for HealthFit to access the Apple Health data. HealthFit is available from the app store here: You are going to need the SwagBag as an Apple Watch user to be able to get your data out, so you'll need to decide if that premium is worth it for the extra convenience RunGap offers (probably based on non-Strava use, and how tired you are at the end of an activity) Using HealthFit
In terms of price, HealthFit is a one of purchase price of £1.99, where as RunGap is free to download but costs £1.99 every three months for the SwagBag which enables export in fit, tcx and gpx formats as well as publishing to all the different platforms. Once these apps start appearing I will be reviewing them on this blog. I expect other apps to start offering the functionality that both these have, probably built directly into their logging capabilities which will mean we can have our workouts logged to Strava as soon as they are complete, much like you can with a Garmin watch and Garmin Connect now. Interestingly I found HealthFit to be more accurate for swimming data exports, which I assume is to do with the construction of the FIT files and how other platforms read them, but RunGap is more comprehensive and quicker if you want to export to Strava, TP, GC, dropbox with one tap and works great for everything else. FIT is a Garmin file format that pretty much every platform I have come across can import. It currently has a single export to Strava (UPDATE: Since version 1.0.9 (8) you can now directly export to TrainingPeaks, and SportTracks), but you can also export FIT files to iCloud or email, which you can then import into other platforms.
HealthFit is more single focussed on pure export and getting data out for you to put elsewhere through a few simple options. RunGap has more configuration and options than HealthFit – you can export to many different platforms as well as Strava, you can edit titles etc before exporting, and even tag photo’s to associate with the activity. HealthFit vs RunGapįirst a quick word about how these two apps compare.
Following my review of the RunGap app for exporting your Workout data I was sent a link to a new app called HealthFit which is a less ambitous approach to dealing with the same issue of how to get your Workout data into Strava, Training Peaks, Garmin Connect and more, but still very effective none-the-less.
