Google Health Exercise Export Format

Google Health data exports are not yet available, but data collection is available for MyDataHelps participants. This article is being published ahead of Google Health data export availability and is subject to change.

As a reminder, Google is deprecating the Fitbit API on September 30th, 2026. After this date, Fitbit data will only be available through Google Health. Please refer to the Migrating Fitbit to Google Health article for additional information.

The Google Health Exercise export contains individual fitness sessions (runs, workouts, etc.) reported through the Google Health API's exercise data type, along with each session's splits and start/stop events.

Deleted exercise session records are described in GoogleHealthExercise_Deleted. See Google Health Deleted Export Format for the full field reference and how to apply it.
