Two issues/question

So I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this when working out. Using the Versa treadmill exersise my miles and calories don’t match up to the treadmill. Treadmill said I did 4 miles while my Versa said 3 and I was doing 4.1 mph. So I don’t. Know which is right. Lastly, anyone know how to get rid of the  exersise results when you swipe up? It’s annoying and I want them to go away. It just shows the most recent 2. I just want to swipe up to be able to see my steps for the day. Not an exercise I did a day ago...

Treadmill (any Gym equipment really) is not known for being accurate so i wouldn't necessarily trust what the treadmill says!

Are you saying when you swipe up, the first thing on your today screen is the exercise you have done?  i dont think you can get rid of it but you can re-order the today screen by tapping and holding the item you want to move, so give that a go.

@Cassandra95, you may need to adjust your stride length to get your distance. Here is some information about stride length.

How do I measure and adjust stride length for my Fitbit device?
 
 

Fitbit devices calculate distance by multiplying your walking steps by your walking stride length and multiplying your running steps by your running stride length. By default, we calculate your stride length using your height and sex. If you have Fitbit Blaze, Fitbit Charge 2, Fitbit Ionic, or Fitbit Versa and track one or more runs using GPS, we evaluate that data to automatically update your running stride length. For best results, run at a comfortable pace for at least 10 minutes.

If your distance measurement seems inaccurate, follow the steps below to calculate your stride length and then add it to your Fitbit account.

HOW DO I CALCULATE MY STRIDE LENGTH?To measure your walking stride length:
  1. Go to a track or some place where you're sure of the distance.
  2. Count your steps as you walk across that distance, making sure you travel at least 20 steps.
  3. Divide the total distance (in feet) taken by the number of steps to get your stride length.

Your running stride can be calculated the same way if you run instead of walk.
