Pickleball, looks like a lot of fun! Must be quite difficult to get the hang of it. This could be a great addition to the activity log on the Dashboard. I appreciate you sharing your request!
I play pickleball twice a week for 2-3 hours with at least 25 others using the courts at the same time. Seems like there would be lots of us who would like to see pickleball added to the list of activities so we can log this activity with the correct calorie count.
I, too, play Pickleball 2-3 times a week and would like to accurately track it. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America, according to WNBC News. The US Pickleball Assiciation estimates 40,000+ players worldwide. There must be thousands of Fitbit wearers among all those Pickleball players. Please add Pickleball to your exercise tracker. Thank you!
I don't think they are listening to us. Maybe we should find a fitness tracker that had pickleball listed as an activity. This is ridiculous and I've written to fitbit a couple of times with no results!!!! Shame on you Fitbit!!!
I've been told to track it as an activity by fitbit but that's too complicated.....I'll try to track it next time I play and let you all know how it turns out.
Just started playing last week. A great game and I get around 8000 steps or so in a couple of hours of playing. Tennis, squash, racquetball and badminton are all listed. Time to get pickleball up there Fitbit.
I just went to categorize activity and typed p in the search for exercise type and it came up in the list: Pilates Polo Pickleball Water Polo This is what came up in my list. I did it on my iPhone but I found it on my computer on my dashboard.
In the app (not the website) if you tap track exercise the list of you activities comes up. Tap an activity and you get a detailed analysis of that activity. At the top is a categorize activity ( on most activities). That should take you to an activity list.
In my app, on the Dashboard, I tap on weekly exercise. The options are "track" which only shows walk, run, and hike or "log" which lets me search for an exercise. Pickleball does not come up. Could this be because I have the free app, not the premium?
I only have the free app. Have you updated it recently? When I tap on weekly exercises a list of all my exetcises comes up. I then tap on one of those exercises and then I can see detailed info about that one exercise plus I can change the category from whatever it picked. I used to put tennis in but now Pickleball comes up. That's how it works on mine. The only thing I can think of is that you haven't upgraded the app. I'm on an iPhone 5 and iOS 9.
