The activity converter allows you to convert your time spent performing common activities like cycling and yoga into steps and distance straight from the Stridekick mobile app.

When you convert an activity, you can select which metrics (steps, distance, and active minutes) to add to your daily activity. You can choose to add 1, 2, or all 3 metrics, depending on what your device has already credited you for. Data added through activity conversion will be combined with any device data synced for the day.

Please contact the Stridekick support team to request access to the activity converter. Learn how to request access here. Once you've been granted access to manual activity entry, follow the steps below to add converted activities to your activity data.

5. Once your activity has been added, you’ll see a confirmation at the bottom of your screen confirming that your activity has been saved:

The activity converter is accessible by request only. Users interested in the activity converter will need to reach out to our Support Team to request manual activity entry be enabled for their account. Please include your username and email address in the request.

To make it even easier to request access, we created this short template you can use:

Hi, I'd like request access to the activity converter. My username is [username] and my email address is [email]. Thanks!

Note: When you request the activity converter, we are assuming that you are doing so in good faith. If we notice that you are abusing the feature, such as with falsifying totals, as per our Community Guidelines, we can remove this option from your account at any time.

Yes. Converted activities are added to any device data synced for the day. Syncing from your device will not be interrupted if you convert an activity during the day, but please note that totals between your device and Stridekick will no longer match due to the additional data logged in Stridekick. We also recommend un-checking any metrics that you've already been credited for from your connected device.

Manual activity entries can be logged for up to 7 days (the current day and the previous 6 days). Please make sure you enter totals regularly. We recommend entering totals once a day to maintain the most up-to-date stats in your challenge.

You can delete logged activities within the past 7 days. You can learn how to delete logged activities, including converted activity, here.

No. To use the activity converter without connecting a device, dismiss the dashboard message about connecting a device.

Data logged to your account through the activity converter will be scored into any active challenges you’re participating in. Please note that grace period rules always apply.

Once a challenge ends, all scoring is final and challenge stats can no longer be updated. Any entries added or removed after your challenge ends will save to your Stridekick account but will not update in your challenge.

The activity converter takes your time spent performing a non-stepping activity such as cycling or swimming and converts it into the equivalent step total based on the intensity of the activity. Then, steps are converted into distance at a rate of 2,000 steps to 1 mile (or approximately 3,219 steps to 1 km).

The aim of the converter is not to include your total workout distance, but rather to convert your workout to the equivalent walking distance, so you should expect the converted distance total to not match up with your actual workout distance. This allows you to compete with others in your challenge fairly, as all activities are represented as walking/running.
