Add Pickleball to the Exercise app

Would be great if Pickleball was added as an activity.

Thanks,

I also have an iPhone 5 and am on iOS 10.2. When I tap on weekly exercise it shows my list. Then I tap on the individual exercise and it only shows my stats- time, calories burned, etc. I don't see where to change or search for an activity on that screen. Pickleball does not come up when I type it in to log my activity- when I type in "Pi" all that comes up is Pilates.
Should I delete and reinstall the app?
I'm afraid I'll lose my badges, etc.
Thank you so much for answering my questions and trying to help me. I really appreciate your effort!

I've got Categorize Exercise at the top of that screen and that's where I
searched and found it. I don't know what more to suggest. I don't think you
would lose your data if you deleted and reinstalled but I'm not 100%
certain. One last thing I am in Canada but that shouldn't make any
difference. I don't think there's any difference in the app. Good luck. I
don't know what more to suggest.

I would like for you to add Pickleball to your activities list. It's currently the fastest growing sport in the United States and it's estimated (by the Pickleball Association) that there will be 8 million players by 2019.

Add Pickleball as a sport to the Fitbit ecosystem. Sport keeps getting more popular and is played by all ages. 

 

If if you haven't yet, get out and play pickleball. So much fun! Can be played indoor or outdoor.

Please add Pickleball to your activities as with 24 players today with fitbits on, I was appointed to ask for this to be added soon.  Some of us played 10 games today....and pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the USA.  Don't take my word on this...check it out on line.  Thanks Flo

I too would like to see Pickleball added as one of the 7 available choices on my fitbit (Charge2).  It is very inconvenient to enter it as "Tennis" and then manually go back to the computer, re-enter details as Pickleball, and then delete the Tennis entries.  (And, as said, it is the fastest growing sport, and most of the people I know, play it multiple hours per day, several times per week!

 

Thanks

Not sure where folks are seeing this. I have the android app and it does not show as an option when editing a previous activity.

I have a Fitbit Charge 2 and Pickle ball does not show up on my list of activities.  Fitbit just updated and I went and checked my dashboard but nothing yet.  Are they going to add it soon?

Ditto, same as @JSonne. I have a Charge 2 and there's nothing in the iPhone app. Please add @Fitbit

For those who haven't seen it, there's a thumbs-up at the original post to upvote this option. Go click on that, at the top of page one!

I just got a Charge 2 and discovered Pickleball is not on the list... I see it has been requested over and over.  Add me to the chorus...please add pickleball to the list of exercises to select.  Thanks!

I have tried to have them add it. They just won't/don't listen/care.

I play Pickleball at least three times a week, 1.5-2hrs. per session. In lieu of Pickleball, I track Volleyball as activity on my FitBit One clipped to my pocket so I can record steps. Pickleball has grown to a very large community over the past five years, with now over 2000 places to play. No doubt lots of the players are FitBit wearers, so it’s about time to count Pickleball as an activity. Check it out a tournament on YouTube ... the level of exercise will surprise.
