Connecting MOTTIV to Zwift, Training Peaks, Garmin, Wahoo, Strava, Polar, Suunto, Coros, Apple, etc.
Updated on:

These are the instructions to:
1. Send your workouts to your device (watch, bike computer, smart trainer, Zwift, etc.)
2. Send your completed workout data back to MOTTIV
The process is essentially this:
To get your workouts from MOTTIV to Zwift or another device: MOTTIV workout >> Training Peaks >> Zwift.
To get your completed workout data back to MOTTIV: Device >> Strava >> MOTTIV.
So, you need to be connected to TP to get your workouts OUT of MOTTIV. And you need to be connected to Strava to get your workout data back into MOTTIV.
(NOTE: The above does NOT apply to Garmin users, they can directly connect to MOTTIV without TP or Strava.)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR GARMIN USERS:
Garmin is the only device that can receive workout details from MOTTIV and send your completed workouts and stats back to MOTTIV without a "middleman".
Scroll down for the directions for connecting Garmin Connect to MOTTIV, including important settings you'll need to click to avoid seeing duplicate workouts.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUUNTO, POLAR, COROS, APPLE, ZWIFT, WAHOO, and all other devices:
To send your workouts to your device, you need to connect to TrainingPeaks first.
To send your completed workout data back to MOTTIV, you need to also connect to Strava.
Instructions are below on how to connect to TrainingPeaks and Strava.
SPECIAL NOTES ON ZWIFT and WAHOO:
There are special instructions for finding your workouts in Zwift and Wahoo once you've sent them there via Training Peaks. Scroll down for those instructions.
TRAININGPEAKS
- View your MōTTIV workouts in TrainingPeaks

PLEASE NOTE: If you are using the FREE version of Training Peaks, you'll only get one workout at a time. If you want more days, you have to pay for TrainingPeaks premium. (This is a TrainingPeaks decision, not MOTTIV.)
APPLE WATCH USERS
If you hit the "LAP" button while doing a swim workout, Apple will stop recording your workout at that point and save only the information recorded before you hit the button. Because Apple Watches aren't built to be an endurance training device, many of our users eventually switch to Garmin for a much better and easier training experience.

DUPLICATE WORKOUTS IN GARMIN?
If you have the MōTTIV app connected to TrainingPeaks, and TrainingPeaks connected to Garmin, you'll need to update some settings to avoid duplicate MōTTIV workouts in your Garmin Connect calendar.
The following steps will ensure that only the MōTTIV app is adding workouts to the Garmin Connect calendar, and not TrainingPeaks.
- Visit https://connect.garmin.com/modern/settings/accountInformation and login to access the "Account Information" page *
- Scroll down until you find "TrainingPeaks"
- Ensure Data shared from the TrainingPeaks app to Garmin Connect is turned off.
- Choose whether you'd like Data shared from Garmin Connect to the TrainingPeaks app is turned on or off, your workouts will be auto-completed either way.

To access this page again, login to Garmin Connect and then:
