Exercise Shortcuts

[BigEmma]

I do a TRX workout every week.  TRX is not an exercise option on the Versa 3, but I can find it in the app when I do a search.  I then recategorize my workout to TRX but I have to do it every time.  Is there a way to have TRX as an exercise option on the Versa 3 device? If it's available in the app seems that it should be available on the device.

Hi @BigEmma No, there is no option to add it to the Sense. If you want the activity name to be correct then you need to add it. The stats should be OK though, whatever the name is as they are based on your heart rate and steps counted.

I don't have a Sense, I have a Versa 3.  I can select TRX in the FitBit app on my phone when I do a search in the Exercise option, but I don't have a TRX option on the Versa 3 in the Exercise option.  How do I get the TRX option on the Versa 3?

@BigEmma    The Versa 3 and the Sense have the same operating system and @NellyG made an honest mistake.  The sad truth is that Fitbit has only added one shortcut, Outdoor Workout, since releasing the original 20.  Neither @NellyG not I are Fitbit employees, so we don't have any insight as to why Fitbit makes these decisions.  Users have been requesting very popular workouts for years without a change.  Unfortunately, you can't get TRX as a shortcut on the Versa 3.  We all must do this for many of our favorite workouts.

@LZeeW  thank you for your response.  I just don't understand why TRX can be found on the iPhone FitBit app but not on the Versa 3.  I can recategorize my workout to TRX with the app.  Why is it on the app but not on the device?  Makes no sense.

Woops @BigEmma Yes, I made a mistake there - I meant the Versa 3. @LZeeW  is correct. The 'why' you are asking isn't answerable except by the developers, who don't generally frequent the forums. It just IS that way. However you can make a Feature Suggestion HERE . The more votes your suggestion gets, the more likely it is to happen.

@NellyG thank you for your insight and advice.  I'll make the suggestion to the developers but I won't hold my breath!

[NellyG]

@BigEmma haha yes, unfortunately it may never happen, but it is a good idea and I'll go and vote for it.
