Hello @gam264 

Sorry to say that Zumba isn't one of the listed activities for the Charge 5. You would have to choose an activity, like Workout or Aerobic, for your Zumba sessions. 

From what I understand, users currently experience a bug where they can't edit the name of a completed exercise session. Otherwise, you could rename your completed session to Zumba in the Fitbit app. We are hoping that this bug will be fixed soon in an app update.

Hi there, @gam264. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for stopping by in the Fitbit Community Forums. 

As @RiekoC has mentioned, please note "Zumba" is not included within the exercise shortcuts list on Fitbit Charge 5. 

As he suggested, when a specific exercise is not available within the exercises we offer, we suggest to use "Workout" (which is a generic catch-all for other types of exercise). Once you finish the activity, you can rename the activity to desired exercise/activity. Please note that the amount of calories burned vary from the exercise you're performing and due to the heart rate tracked by your Charge 5.

Note that the information to enter will change depending on the nature of the exercise. To give you an example, if you change from "Workout" to "Run", it won't remove the calories but will add distance as the main stat to be displayed, this happen depending of the activity you are categorizing. However, your the data already tracked will be still counted for your daily totals.

For more information about how to do so, see How do I add, edit, or delete Fitbit data and activities?

If you have any inconveniences or experience the bugs while trying to change the name of the activity, let me know and I'll be glad to help you.
