Windows Setup

Quick Start

If you are planning to use the Windows exe, please consider being a beta tester for P2G version 2. This beta release has feature parity with v1 + additional new features. You can find the latest v2 executable here. If you choose to run v2, join the discussion and post feedback.

  1. Find the latest release here
  2. Download the file peloton-to-garmin-windows.zip
  3. Unzip the folder
  4. Find the file named config.ini, open it with your text editor of choice and modify the Peloton/Garmin settings
  5. Save and close the file
  6. Find the file named peloton-to-garmin.exe, double click to launch the program
  7. You will be prompted to enter how many workouts you would like to fetch
  8. A TCX file for each workout will be created in the Output directory
  9. The resulting TCX file can then be uploaded to Garmin manually, or you can configure the config.ini settings to upload automagically for you

Advanced Setup

  1. Download the repo here
  2. Extract the zip file
  3. Install the latest version of Python 3
  4. Open File Explorer and navigate to the wherever you unzipped the downloaded project

  6. Open a command prompt by clicking in the Location Bar at the top and typing cmd then hit enter
  7. From the command prompt run the following command:
    1. pip install -r requirements.txt
  8. Close the command prompt and return to the peloton-to-garmin folder
  9. Edit the config.ini file and set your Peloton Email and Password, Save and Close
    1. Optionally set your Garmin Email and Password if you wish for activities to be uploaded automatically

Advanced Usage

  • Open a command prompt inside of the peloton-to-garmin folder
  • Run the following command:
    • python peloton-to-garmin
  • You will be prompted to enter how many workouts you would like to fetch
  • A TCX file for each workout will be created in the output directory
  • The resulting TCX file can then be uploaded to Garmin

Linux/MacOs

  1. wget https://github.com/philosowaffle/peloton-to-garmin/archive/master.zip
  2. unzip master.zip
  3. Install Python 3
  4. Navigate so that you are inside the peloton-to-garmin folder
  5. From the command prompt run the following command:
    1. pip install -r requirements.txt
    2. In ubuntu 20.04, if you use the python3 in the repo, the command is pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  6. vim config.ini (or nano or whatever. Just not emacs, please :P)
    1. set your Peloton Email and Password, Save and Close

Usage

  • Open a command prompt inside of the peloton-to-garmin folder
  • Run the following command:
    • python3 peloton-to-garmin.py
  • You will be prompted to enter how many workouts you would like to fetch
  • A TCX file for each workout will be created in the output directory
  • The resulting TCX file can then be uploaded to Garmin

Docker

If you are planning to use Docker, please consider being a beta tester for P2G version 2. This beta release has feature parity with v1 + additional new features. If you choose to run v2, join the discussion and post feedback.

The image can be pulled from Docker Hub or Github Packages. See the Configuration section for a list of all environment variables that can be provided to the container. A sample docker-compose file can be found here.

  • docker pull philosowaffle/peloton-to-garmin

Configuration

There are multiple ways to configure values, the precedence order is:

  1. Environment Variable
  2. Command Line Arg
  3. config.ini value
Config.ini Command Line Env Var Description
[PELOTON] Email -email EMAIL P2G_PELOTON_EMAIL Peloton email address
[PELOTON] Password -password PASWORD P2G_PELOTON_PASS Peloton password
[PELOTON] NumActivities -num # P2G_NUM Batch size of activities to grab at one time
[PELOTON] WorkoutTypes -workout_types <types> P2G_WORKOUT_TYPES If set, take only Peloton workouts of the specified types (see below)
[GARMIN] UploadEnabled -garmin_enable_upload true/false P2G_GARMIN_ENABLE_UPLOAD Automatically upload to Garmin Connect
[GARMIN] Email -garmin_email EMAIL P2G_GARMIN_EMAIL Garmin Email
[GARMIN] Password -garmin_password PASSWORD P2G_GARMIN_PASS Garmin Password
[PTOG] EnablePolling -enable_polling true/false PTG_ENABLE_POLLING Automatically and periodically check for new activities
[PTOG] PollingIntervalSeconds -polling_interval_seconds # PTG_POLLING_INTERVAL_SECONDS How frequently to poll for new activities if pollingis enabled.
[OUTPUT] Directory -path PATH P2G_PATH Path to output directory, this is where the TCX files are written
[DEBUG] PauseOnFinish -pause_on_finish true/false P2G_PAUSE_ON_FINISH Do not automatically close the application on completion. For polling mode, setting to false allows continous running without user input.
[LOGGER] LogFile -log P2G_LOG Log file path
[LOGGER] LogLevel -loglevel P2G_LOG_LEVEL DEBUG, INFO, ERROR

Command Line Arguments

Usage:

peloton-to-garmin.py [-h] [-email EMAIL] [-password PASSWORD] [-path OUTPUT_DIR] [-num NUM_TO_DOWNLOAD] [-log LOG_FILE]

Examples:

  • To get the last 10 activities:
    * peloton-to-garmin.py -num 10
  • To pass your email and passowrd:
    * peloton-to-garmin.py -email [email protected] -password mypassword

Ensure activities are counting towards Garmin challenges and badges

To be able to have all synced activities counting towards Garmin challenges and badges, data from your Garmin hardware is needed. For getting it, please track one workout directly with your hardware (like a Garmin watch) and sync it with Garmin Connect.

After done this, please export this activity as a TCX file and copy out <Author>...</Author> and <Creator>...</Creator> into author_info.xml and device_info.xml.

You can find samples of hwo these files are looking like at author_info.sample.xml and device_info.sample.xml.

Restricting Peloton workout types

By default, all Peloton workouts are processed. However, you can optionally filter for only specific types of workouts, such as only cycling and running; all other workouts will be skipped.

Specify a comma-separated list of workout types you want to allow. The values may be one or more of the following: cardio, circuit, cycling, meditation, running, strength, stretching, walking, yoga

Example: -workout_types cardio,cycling,running,strength

Use cases:

  • You take a wide variety of Peloton classes, including meditation and yoga, but you only want to upload cycling classes.
  • You want to avoid double-counting activities you already track directly on a Garmin device, such as outdoor running workouts.

Supported Python/OS

The matrix of supported Python versions and OS's can be found here.

Database

Various config and upload history is maintained in a local database.json file. Deleting this file will delete any upload history and the servic will attempt to upload all workouts to Garmin Connect again.

Contributors

Special thanks to all the contributors who have helped improve this project!

Garmin Upload feature is provided by the library: https://github.com/La0/garmin-uploader

Warnings

⚠️ WARNING!!! Your username and password for Peloton and Garmin Connect are stored in clear text, WHICH IS NOT SECURE. If you have concerns about storing your credentials in an unsecure file, do not use this option.

For Developers

The processing of the Peloton workouts is now done in two separate steps:

  1. Downloading of workouts from Peloton. Workouts are saved in JSON files in a working directory.
  2. Processing of all files available in the working directory. This includes generating the TCX output file, and queuing for upload to Garmin. Workout files are removed from the working directory.

The workout files saved in step #1 can be optionally retained (not removed in step #2) and/or copied to a separate archive directory. Additionally, you have the option to skip step #1 entirely, i.e. don't download anything from Peloton, but only use whatever files are already in the working directory.

These features may be useful to developers. You can preserve the Peloton data files for review or study, and more importantly, build up a library of workouts files. With these files, you can more easily work on new development, without re-downloading Peloton workouts each time you run (and being dependent upon what those workouts are). One could also share these workouts with other developers.

Please refer to configuration.py for more information regarding these settings: -working, -archive, -skip_download, -retain_files, -archive_files, -archive_by_type
