I’m running on a treadmill no incline and my floor number count is going up with it, and as a result my calorie burn is going up way higher than it should be.

A warm welcome to the Community @Torresthetank. Fitbit devices do not count the elevation gains simulated from a StairMaster, inclined treadmill, or other stationary exercise equipment. Your device uses changes in barometric pressure to detect elevation change, and therefore requires that you physically change elevation in order to properly record floors. 

 

This means that your Blaze shouldn't track floors or change the calories burn data when you're running on the treadmill. Please restart your tracker and track once again the exercise. 

 

- How many more calories burned are you getting? 

- How many floors are you getting? 

- When does it started happening? 

 

Hope this helps!
