I don't have an answer for you but my "solution" for this was to turn off auto detection for elliptical entirely. The likelihood of me ever climbing onto one of those torture devices, ever, is zero.
Thank you, but it didn't work. All my activities are still logging elliptical. I guess these things only last less than 2 yrs. I will try a different brand
