What's the 'editable' exercise option on the Charge 6?

[DiegoH]

I got the new Charge 6. I play badminton, which isn't an option. In the Charge 5, one could choose 'Workout' and edit it later. But I'm not able to edit it on the Charge 6 - any ideas?

Hello @DiegoH and welcome to the Community.  The option to change the name of a workout disappeared from the app a few months ago.  Fitbit it aware of the problem.  No time frame for a fix is available.

Sorry to hear that, but thanks for your response!

Hello @DiegoH 

Are you an Android or iOS user? If you're an iOS user, another user found a workaround that other users confirmed worked for them.

Let me know and I'll share the link.

I'm an Android user, but have an old iPad for reading/watching stuff - perhaps I can use that for editing the exercises?

Hi @DiegoH 

I was able to edit the name of completed activity using the fitbit.com on-line dashboard. I've only accessed the fitbit.com dashboard from my computer/laptop & haven't tried this on my phone.

• Click on Dashboard at the top of this page, between Help and Store icon
• From the Dashboard page, click on Log, then click on Activities
• On the Activities page, you'll see your completed workouts and a pencil icon next to the Activity name.
• Click on the pencil icon to edit the Activity name. Since badminton is not in the list of current Fitbit activities, you can create a custom activity on this page. There's a tile for creating the custom activity when you scroll down the page or you can create it "on the fly" from the Edit box when you click on the pencil icon. (I hope this is making sense to you.)

If you want to try the iOS workaround, here's the thread (<-- click link)

Hope one of these workarounds will be successful for you.

Thanks a bunch @RiekoC - very useful. Was able to edit the workout that I had used 'Workout' for, but the 'Sports' one isn't editable - I used the web interface But I know what to do going forward. Grateful for your help!

I hope they fix it and we don't have to resort to a workaround like this, in the future.
