Can I export indoor workouts to GPX?
Indoor workouts have no GPS route, so the GPX would be empty. Use CSV or JSON for those.
How to export Apple Health workouts to GPX
Apple Health has no built-in way to export a workout as a GPX file. Here's how to do it on your iPhone in under a minute, with heart rate included.
Why Apple Health can't do this on its own
The Health app stores your workouts and routes, but it doesn't offer a GPX export. To get a standard GPS track out, you need a third-party app that reads HealthKit and writes GPX. Workout Exporter does this on device — your data never leaves your iPhone unless you share the file.
What you'll get
A GPX 1.1 file containing your route (latitude, longitude, elevation, timestamps) with heart rate embedded via the Garmin TrackPointExtension. It opens in Strava, Garmin Connect, Golden Cheetah, Caltopo, and Google Earth. Want to see one first? Download a sample GPX.
Step by step
The whole process happens on your iPhone — nothing is uploaded.

AirDrop it, Save to Files, or send it straight to another app.
