The activity converter lets you convert time spent doing common non-stepping activities—like yoga, cycling, or swimming—into:

By default, any activity you convert will output total steps, distance and active minutes. If your device already tracks some of this data, we suggest only adding the data your device doesn't track. Otherwise, you'll double-count data. Converted data is added to your existing totals for the day and scored into your challenge.

⚠️ Heads up: You’ll need to contact Stridekick support or your challenge admin to enable the activity converter in the app. Once activated, you’re good to go!

The Activity Converter is designed for participants without a wearable device.

If you track your activity using a smartphone only, you can’t always capture movement from workouts like yoga, strength training, or spin class.
​

👉 Think of it as your backup tracker when your phone can’t follow you to the mat or the pool.

If you wear a Fitbit, Apple Watch, Garmin, or any other connected wearable, you already have the most accurate activity data flowing into Stridekick.

When you also convert and log activities manually, you risk double-counting your effort. Here’s why:

💡 In short:
​

The Activity Converter is a supplement for non-wearable users—not a boost button for wearable users.

✅ You’ll see a confirmation message once your activity has been saved.

The converter relies on the honor system.

Yes! Converted data is added on top of your synced device data for the day.
👉 To avoid duplicates, uncheck any metrics your device has already logged.

Nope! You can use the converter without a connected device.
Just dismiss the dashboard message about connecting one.

Your converted data will be scored into any active challenges you're in.
Once a challenge ends, scores are final—edits made after that won’t apply.

Any entries added or removed after your challenge ends will save to your Stridekick account but will not update in your challenge.

Please note that grace period rules always apply.

The converter doesn’t reflect your actual workout distance.
Instead, it calculates the walking/running equivalent based on:

This creates a fair playing field for everyone in the challenge, regardless of activity type.

Yes! As of September 7, 2023, the converter is available to all Stridekick users. You’ll just need to contact Stridekick support or your challenge admin to enable manual activity entry and the activity converter in the app. Once activated, you’re good to go!
