Question 1

Why won't my fitness app sync or record my workout?

Accepted Answer

Sync failures are usually caused by the app's cloud servers being down, not your device. Activity tracked on a watch or phone is typically stored locally and uploads once service is restored. A spike in reports here confirms a service-side outage.

Question 2

Which fitness services does DownStatus monitor?

Accepted Answer

DownStatus tracks major fitness and wellness apps including Fitbit, Garmin Connect, Strava, Calm, Apple Health, and others. Live status for each is shown above.

Question 3

Will I lose my workout data during an outage?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. Most fitness devices and apps record activity locally and sync it to the cloud later, so data captured during an outage uploads once the service recovers. Avoid factory-resetting a device during an outage, which is the main way data actually gets lost.

Question 4

What should I do if my fitness app is down?

Accepted Answer

Keep using your device to record activity — it will sync later. Avoid logging out or reinstalling during a server outage, since that won't help and can delay syncing. Check the provider's status page or social media for updates.
