Where Does Wahoo Store Workouts and Ride Data?
The Wahoo app stores ELEMNT paired data, recorded .fit workouts, and synced history in private app storage on Android and iOS, backed by your Wahoo cloud account.
Last updated
Wahoo splits data between the head unit, the phone app, and the cloud account. Recordings start on the device, move through the companion app, and settle in your online history. The phone storage in the middle is private app data with no user facing folder.
Pairing and sensor settings live in the same account, so a new phone restores your setup on login. Workout files follow the .fit standard throughout, which keeps manual exports compatible with every major analysis platform when auto sync hiccups.
Where Wahoo stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.wahoofitness.fitness/files
Private storage for cached rides and ELEMNT sync data. Manage in app and confirm cloud upload before reinstalls. The account holds the durable copy.
Wahoo app storage (via Files app or iTunes sharing)
Same cloud account model as Android. Rides cache locally until synced. Re login restores devices and sensors without file juggling.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get rides off my ELEMNT?
Connect the ELEMNT to WiFi or open the companion app so rides upload to your Wahoo account. The head unit holds limited history and overwrites oldest first. Cloud copies then flow to Strava and other linked services automatically.
Can Wahoo export .fit files?
Link Strava, Garmin Connect, or TrainingPeaks once in Wahoo settings and uploads forward automatically. Manual .fit exports work from the workout history when a link breaks. The .fit format carries power, GPS, and sensor streams together.
