Anyone know if the following is possible?  I want to rename an exercise without changing the stats associated with the exercise I've completed.  Alternatively, I'd like to be able to create an exercise based on one of the FitBit exercises, and have the new exercise use the same icon and stats.  Is there a way to do this?  I've tried creating exercises, and then renaming my Fitbit exercise to the new exercise I've created, but then it changes the stats that are available.  For instance, I've gone horseback riding and turned on my Fitbit for a Hike.  When I'm done, I'll rename it to horseback riding, but then I lose the map.  I've tried several different scenarios, but, no luck.

Unfortunately, for some reason you can only customize the workout via the online dashboard.  If you rename the exercise there, you can keep all the stats associated with the original entry.

That's correct; you can rename a WORKOUT exercise on the dashboard on the WEB version of the app.  You can also rename the other Exercises from the iPhone or iPad version of the app.   To rename the exercise from an iPhone or iPad you have to look at the details of the exercise you want to rename and then click on Categorize Exercise to select or search for the exercise you want to rename to.  This will reset the icon, which I don't want to happen.
