Indoor Spin

When doing a indoor spin class does the fitbit surge count your steps.

Fitbit is fairly fussy about tracking steps. It needs to detect the impact of your foot landing to identify a step. As you don't get this on a bike you won't get steps. Having said that you may get some from random movement of the arm but not as many as you may be expecting.

Some people try to trick the system by putting the fitbit on their shoe. This gives more steps but not accurate calories.

The bottom line is that you don't take steps on a bike.

Just tried spin with my fit bit and it's clocked over 3,000 steps more than I had, so next time I'll take it off. You can try once and if it's the same for you I'd advise taking it off
