Add Les Mills workouts as shortcuts

I'd like to see w wider range of classes available to add on the Fitbit app - particularly Body Pump, Bosy Balance and the rest of the Les Mills range. These are available to add on others apps but I have decided to keep my Fitbit app and Mapmyfitness seperate as I ended up recording calries twice and they both monitor different things very well.

 

Thanks 🙂

I wanted to let you guys know that I noticed the following feature / bug in the App: i'm using the Alta HR and it almost accuratel recognizes my bodypump workout. that's fine. but i am only allowed to classify the workout once! if i start choosing different workout types, the amount of calories burned drops more than 100 and it stays like that independent of the exercize i choose. i learned to either only select the exercise once, or if i makde a mistake, delete the log completely and create a new log. this way i get a higher amount of calories burned, which in my case is more accurate for bodypump... i hope this helps you! kind regards

Raluca, I've had that issue too but if you keep your wrists straight that seems to fix it.

I’d like to be able to select a work out on my Fitbit for example Les Mills Bodycombat, Body Pump or be able to label my own work outs and select them on my fit bit rather than entering manually on the website

Three years on and still no change? It would be great to log Les Mills classes accurately... By the comments, a lot of people are taking part in these classes and want help! I know Polar have the option to log Les Mills, pleeeeeeease sort it out Fitbit!

This is yet another vote/request to get Les Mills classes such as BodyPump on to Fitbit... but by the looks of things, these requests are falling on deaf ears... Smiley Frustrated Smiley Sad

It be great to get Les Mills classes added, such as body pump, cx works, metafit etc.. I know you can create your own activity but I don't think that would be accurate enough so it be great to get these added.

Add Les Mills Bodypump to exercise categories. This is such a common class , it would be good to be able to record it accurately.

I would really love to see Les Mill works (Body Pump, Combat, CXWorks, etc) be added to the workout log options. Currently there are none that are similar.

Why are Les Mills classes not included? Or at least sometimes vaguely equivalent for logging manually?? Been a longstanding request for so many. Tons of us use these classes and can’t record anything on our Fitbit’s - even worse now with Charge 3 because the manual log exercise function on the watch doesn’t seem to exist any more - when I had a 2 at least I could tell the watch I was exercising. 

Today I completed by usual 45minute Body Attack class. My heart rate was at 170+ for the majority of that time. My recorded exercise was apparently a “15 minute run” that burned 109 calories!! 

Reverting to MY Fitness Pal as a far more accurate and motivational tool. Takes 3 seconds to record a Les Mills class accurately. Thank goodness!!

Come on Fit Bit - these classes are massively mainstream - surely you must have a useful solution.

Please please can we have short cuts to popular Les Mills workouts. Rather than use workout or weights we have Les Mills Body Pump or Combat etc. It would be so good. You have the classes now on your premium it would be great if we could have them as shortcuts too. We would get a better workout reading if we had the shortcuts 🙂
