Fitbit Blaze inaccurate calorie count

[georgiacaudell]

On average a 45 minute spin class should burn 400-600 calories. I am fit and do spin often however my Fitbit never reaches over the 250 burned calorie mark. Why is it so inaccurate?

Welcome to the Community @georgiacaudell! The calorie burn estimate that Fitbit provides takes into account your BMR, the activity recorded by your tracker, and any activities you log manually.

I would like you to make sure that all your personal information is properly entered in your Dashboard, so your Fitbit Blaze can show you accurate calories burned. 

Hope this helps!

@georgiacaudellAs @SilviaFitbit has posted, make sure your personel settings are correct. Then check your activity for that 45 minutes.

If you are holding onto the handle bars your step count will be decreased but one would hope that would be offset by you elevated HR.

If you haven't used the Exercise mode you can create a Custom Activity and that will show your activity.

You can also try the Manual Activity for Spinning. Both entries give me 355 calories for 45 minutes. I used Moderate Intensity in the 1st Spinning option.
