Add Hot Yoga (power, sculpt, bikram, Pure Barre)

[j22runner]

May hot yoga (power, sculp, bikram) be added within active minutes please!? Currently there is only hatha yoga. Right now I'm using the work around of adding it to MyFitnessPal to add those active minutes (calories burned) to sync with my fitbit. I'd prefer all activity be within my FitBit 🙂 Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I take Barre 7 days a week and would love to be able to track it as Barre and not Pilates.

I know the Charge2 has it, if you could add it to the Versa that would be wonderful!

Please add more types of yoga to your exercise choices.  Bikram, and other hot yogas, plus yoga sculpt, and other more intense varieties, burn significantly more calories than the generic yoga you list on you app. Makes difficult to accurately track calories burned without accurate choices.

Hi, 

I would like to suggest the addition of a barre workout option and I honestly cannot believe there isn't one yet. It is such a popular workout and the new app update makes it so that the workout function is inefficient and records pace when you're doing stationary exercises like barre or pilates. Either that function needs to be fixed or barre should be added.

I take a variety of yoga classes, all with varying levels of calorie burn - but there’s only one option for yoga. It would be great if we had Bikram or hot, vinyasa, power core, yin, etc to differentiate and more accurately track calorie burn and activity level.

Please add Barre as a workout option.

Calories Burned by Yoga Style (calculator)

I do Bikram Yoga and when I log the exercise using the app I feel cheated. I’ve fished out my old polar heart rate monitor because it’s more accurate... I was a die hard polar user until the Charge HR (my first Fitbit). I hate having to wear the chest strap but when I log it as yoga it with my Fitbit (Charge 3) it tells me I burned less calories than if I don’t log the workout at all or if I say I’m doing a different kind of exercise. Not cool. Especially when I’m busting my bottom in a 104° room for 50 or 90 minutes. My yoga is cardio. 

I used to not wear my Fitbit during class because it wasn’t water resistant so it stinks to have all these new features only to have to not have accurate expenditure references

Hi @MissLinz, thanks for taking the time to share why you would like to see this option on the Fitbit app. This feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here. This is not currently planned at this moment. You can keep adding your votes to this suggestion so we can keep tracking this request overtime. Learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs. I hope to see you around.

With so many Fitbit users asking for a way to track barre classes as an "Exercise" - for me on my Fitbit inspire hr, please add it as an option.

I see several have requested the addition a barre class to the exercise choices, and wanted to add my vote for this.

There is only a short list of exercises offered. Barre and resistance band training are not amongst them. With the rise of people working out at home using other types of workouts it would be nice to be able to properly log and track our exercises and calories burned.

I have the Sense fitbit. It does not have barre listed as a regular exercise. I would love for it to be added.
