About PWX files

.PWX files primarily function as XML-based workout data exchange files created by TrainingPeaks. A secondary use is for Human Machine Interface (HMI) runtime projects in industrial automation platforms like Siemens WinCC or Emerson Movicon. The TrainingPeaks .PWX format is heavily proprietary to the Peaksware ecosystem. It explicitly locks your cycling, running, and swimming data into their platform. You cannot directly upload it to popular trackers like Strava, Garmin Connect, or Wahoo without encountering strict compatibility errors. Furthermore, while the XML structure is human-readable, it is bloated and inefficient, making the files unnecessarily large compared to modern binary fitness formats. For industrial engineering users, a .PWX HMI runtime file is a compiled project file. It is strictly tied to specific touchscreen hardware and cannot be edited, modified, or reverse-engineered easily without the original source project. To free your fitness data for web use or syncing with other platforms, you must convert .PWX to FIT (the industry standard for modern head units), TCX (ideal for older fitness platforms), or GPX (for pure GPS route mapping). If you want to analyze your raw workout metrics in a spreadsheet, convert to CSV.

Convert.Guru analyzes your PWX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted GZ, TCX, NXS, CLIENT, TWD and GPX files.

The PWX Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our PWX converter.
