Today we’re launching one of our most commonly requested features—Activity Sync with Hammerhead devices!
Activity Sync with Hammerhead
Activity sync with Hammerhead allows you to complete TrainerRoad outside workouts on your Hammerhead devices. It also allows you to import activities completed on these devices directly to TrainerRoad!
Getting Started
Activity Sync with Hammerhead is initiated from the Hammerhead dashboard. Head to your dashboard and click into the Accounts section. Scroll to TrainerRoad and click “Connect”.
You’ll be prompted to enter your TrainerRoad account and password, and asked for permission to push and pull data. Click “Allow” and your connection will be all set!
Pushing TrainerRoad Outside Workouts to Hammerhead Devices
Once your account is connected, any TrainerRoad workouts set to “Outside” will be pushed to your Hammerhead device.
For scheduled workouts, toggle your workout to “Outside” from the TrainerRoad app or from TrainerRoad on the web. The workout will automatically be pushed to Hammerhead 3 days in advance of when it’s scheduled on your calendar. When viewed on the web during this time you’ll see “Ready to be Pulled for Hammerhead”.
To manually sync unscheduled workouts without adding them to your calendar, click into the workout on TrainerRoad on the web (this feature isn’t available on the apps). Click “Outside” to switch the workout to the outside version, and then click the “Push” button to push the workout to your device.
Pulling and Completing TrainerRoad Outside Workouts on Your Hammerhead Device
Once you’ve set up Activity Sync with Hammerhead, your Hammerhead device will automatically pull any scheduled or manually pushed outside workouts the next time it connects to the internet.
When you’re ready to train, head to the Workouts app on your device and open the workout you’d like to complete. Click “Follow Workout” to load the workout, and click the play button to begin.

Importing Completed Activites From Hammerhead
Any cycling activities completed on your Hammerhead device after you connect your account with TrainerRoad will automatically appear on your TrainerRoad calendar, once your Hammerhead device connects to WiFi.
Past cycling activities completed before connecting your account can also be manually synced to TrainerRoad. From the dashboard, select the activity you’d like to sync, then choose “Sync to…” and select TrainerRoad.
To sync directly from your Hammerhead device, make sure the device is connected to WiFi. Go to the Rides app and open the completed activity. Scroll down to the upload section, select the TrainerRoad TR logo, and click the checkmark to confirm.
Disconnecting Your Hammerhead and TrainerRoad Accounts
You can disconnect Activity Sync with Hammerhead from your TrainerRoad account or from your Hammerhead dashboard. Previously synced activities won’t be deleted, but no new activities will be pushed or pulled.
To disconnect via your TrainerRoad account, Log in to Trainerroad.com on the web and head to your Account Profile. Select “Activity Sync” from the menu on the left-hand side of the screen, and scroll to Hammerhead. Click “Disconnect” and then confirm your choice in the popup that appears.
To disconnect via the Hammerhead dashboard, go to dashboard.hammerhead.io and click “Accounts” in the left-hand menu. Scroll to the TrainerRoad item and click “Disconnect”.
To reconnect your accounts after disconnecting, redo the original authorization process from the Hammerhead dashboard.
