Do we not have activities such a pickleball and table tennis to choose from so we can see what we burn? If we do can someone direct me as to where to find it?
Thanks

Hello @KimBarr
Pickleball and table tennis are currently not available in the Fitbit list of activities.
There is a feature request to add pickleball as a Fitbit activity (<-- click link) in the Product Feedback forum. I noticed a few other feature requests for pickleball, but this one seems to be one of the most recent.
However, I wasn't able to find a feature request for table tennis, which surprises me. You can submit your suggestion in the Product Feedback forum (<-- click link). I understand the developers monitor this forum for future features.

I have the same problem with rowing. I use the generic workout app. But I'm not sure what a dedicated app would tell me anyway. I get duration, zone-minutes, calories, average heart rate and a heart rate graph. I'm not sure what else I need. And, contrary to some, I can change the name in the phone app.
If you want steps and distance, try recording it as a run, It should pick up the motion on the court just fine. And you still get heart rate, zone-minutes, and calories. You can always change the name in the phone app.

Okay good idea. I haven't been recording any of my workouts lately as I started to get bummed about not being able to record my Pickleball and Table Tennis.

@YachatsMike Fitbit's indoor rowing on newer watches is just a label and using Workout instead is just fine. However, dedicated rowing may give you (this is from Garmin watch): speed*, strokes, stroke rate, distance*, power*, cadence, distance per stroke*, drag factor** ( * - watch connects directly to the rowing machine like Concept2, ** - via third-party data field). So there is a lot to ask for from Fitbit 🤷
