Let's say I want to make a customize: "AJ Personal Activity"? How can I create one and load that into my FitBit?

Hi, @AJisfit , you can create any custom activity not in the Fitbit database, but to do that you must first create it in the web based program (not the app). However, even if you create the activity you will not be able to see that activity on your Fitbit on your wrist. For all custom activities you must initially log them on your wrist as a “workout” (or “outdoor workout”) and then when you sync your Fitbit you need to simply rename (recategorize) your activity to your custom activity.
I would be happy to provide you full instructions on how to create a custom activity, so let me know if you need this. “AJ Personal Activity” would need to be created in the web based platform, and once created would be available to you in your app to rename any wrist activity. However, it will not be available as a named activity on your wrist. You will still need to track your activity as a workout and rename it later.
From previous posts it sounds like you would like to log calisthenics. That is already built in to the Fitbit database, so you won’t need to create it.
To log a calisthenics activity, please just track it on your wrist using “workout” which is one of the built in shortcuts. Unfortunately you cannot add any activity to the built in shortcuts. These are not changeable. However, Fitbit has provided “workout” and “outdoor workout” as activities that you can track on your wrist and then rename or recategorize to suit your individual circumstance.
As I have mentioned in a previous post, simply track it on your wrist as a workout, and then once it has synced to your app, choice edit (on iOS) or pencil icon on Android and change it to calisthenics (or whatever category you are looking for).
I hope this is now clear. Please do post again if not!
