Create and manage events in your MyFitnessPal group

Updated

This article explains how to create an event in your MyFitnessPal group and what each event option does.

A group is even better when it gets together. Events turn everyday encouragement into an actual meetup, whether that's a group workout, a check-in, or a casual virtual hangout. And once you post one, it feels like something real: people can RSVP, get excited, and look forward to meeting others working toward similar goals.

Only the Group Owner or a Leader can create or edit events.

  1. Open the MyFitnessPal app. 
  2. Tap the More icon.

  4. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner. 
  5. Tap Groups. 
  6. Select the group where you're the Group Owner or a Leader. 
  7. Scroll to Upcoming Events and tap New Event. 
  8. Fill out the event details.
