Add soccer/football to the exercise shortcuts list

[BeefyClyro]

Hi Guys,

Right now there are only a handful of modes and exercising which is very limited. Putting stuff in generic workout does not provide anywhere near accuarate results. E.g. I could be doing a home workout with pauses between reps and sets or I could be running flat out playing football/soccer .. The results should be very different.

I'd like to see Football/Soccer, Squash, Tennis, Cross country. Skiing and Snow shoeing, Rock Climbing Golf and any others you could add, seriously people love choices and the more the merrier.

Thanks,
Keith

There are such a limited number of activity options for the exercise short cuts (basic walking/running/hiking/biking/yoga, etc).  However there are nearly no sports listed on this list (only tennis, golf, and martial arts/kickboxing). 

I play field hockey - I'd like to be able to track the calories burned etc., while at my practices and games, straight from this exercise shortcut on my fitbit.    I just found that I can add it online, but that is such a nuisance to do, and it's also not always practical/easy to remember to do. 

Some recommended sports to include in the exercise short cut list would be things like soccer, ice hockey, field hockey, baseball, basketball, volleyball, etc. 

[Blazinskater]

Add in line skating to the list

Hi @SunsetRunner, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. This feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here. Currently this feature is not planned.

Since my original post is closed for comments, I need to make a new thread. I am very disappointed that after so long this has not been fixed. I bought the watch to track my exercise, and this is a very easy fix. It keeps getting called a feature, but this is actually the primary function of the watch. It feels as if I am stuck using a beta version forever. I will not buy another Fitbit, and I will not recommend it to anyone who wants a smart watch.

Please add more workout types. I am a figure skater, and neither running, not workout, pilates, etc are suitable to track when i'm jumping on ice. Google Fit has a good variety of types of workouts - maybe you can have a look and get some ideas from them. I'd still prefer having all of it in Fitbit app given that i use your tracker

[MarcelBK]

Hi @AnnaSkyDancer! Thank you for sharing your idea with the Community. This feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here as it is not currently planned.

[ModStepper]

Could you add the most popular sport in the world as an exercise. Would be good if you could add stats like time sprinting, time walking, distance covered, fasted sprint, longest sprint. not sure how accurate the gps but a plot of where I'd ran would be interesting too.

I have a charge3 so would like this functionality for it, but I'm pretty sure users of all your devices would like this

[AlexandraFitbit]

Hello @ModStepper ! Thanks for sharing this suggestion, I moved it to this similar post so you can add your vote to it. Please keep sharing your ideas with us!

[sarahbeik]

Hello, please add EMS (electrical muscle atimulation ) training to the activities.

if i may talk to someone via email and explain everything that would be great. Please take it into consideration 

[MarcelBK]

Hey @sarahbeik! I merged your idea with this similar one which is currently not planned. Thank you for sharing your suggestion with us. You can still vote by clicking on the thumbs up button.

It would be great if you could add the two categories to the choices of workouts. "VR Training Session" and "Taking the dog for a walk".

I do a VR workout almost every day and in 2019 it's going to take off with the cheaper, easier VR headsets coming.

Walking the dog. I can't believe this isn't already on there.

Thanks 🙂

I miss the "Workout" exercise option on my Charge 2, why is it not included on the Charge 3? It was ideal for those HIIT/bodyweight workouts I rely on when I can't get to the gym 😞

[Kaliio]

Agreed, HIIT should be programed in. I just had a HIIT workout and I really could put Cardio when logging a workout. now that WW rewards more pts for Interval training it would be good to add so it can sync with WW properly 

[Wally_S]

Add more activity types to the list we can choose from please 🙂 

[Wally_S]

Add more activity types to the list we can choose from please like snowboarding, poledancing and home excercise

[Beckyk1234]

Please add netball to the list of activities 

[MarcelBK]

Hi @Beckyk1234, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us, this very similar feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here as it is not currently planned.

[LexiHam]

It appears that I cannot add a sport to the Ionic which I take part in. Is there any update as to when we will be able to add different sports as the list is very small.

It seems it can be done on other Fitbits.

Thanks LH
