Could padel please be added as an activity? Now my sense registers it as ‘sport’ and I can only change it to tennis. But padel is not tennis

It's not called Padel Tennis, it's called Padel, and it's the fastest growing sport in the world. 
The fact that it's not on Fitbit is mind boggling.
I bought a fitbit for my wife, she plays tennis, so she's covered. I was about to buy one for the rest of our family (we all play padel), and then I found out you can't even choose the sport.

Padel is a ball sport that is growing rapidly in Europe and across the world.

Please add Padel to the activities list (and NOT Padel Tennis, just PADEL). 

[MarcD]

Agree with @AnneMar, the activity should be named Padel.

[Jsvanduin]

Just add Padel into the exercise app. Its the fast growing sport and its so much more fun than tennis or squash.

And its not called Padel Tennis its called Padel!

Thanks!

Please add Padel indeed! Everybody is playing this amazing sport, too bad we still can't choose this between all the other listed sports.

[Tissie90]

How come you still haven't added Padel as an activity?

[ElsMae]

Gentle reminder to add Padel to list of sports. Mind blowing that Fitbit doesn’t respond to the fastest growing sport in Europe. Sure you haven’t tried it yet 🙃

[Tissie90]

Been more than a year now since this topic was started. Can we get an update from someone at Fitbit?

[SunsetRunner]

Please add Padel. Might not be known in the US, big in Europa (Netherlands, Spain, Portugal). 

[Sabbione]

Please add Padel

[AnneMar]

There is at least another chat where your users are asking for the same thing: Padel (and not "Padel tennis") is developping at a tremendous pace in Europe, after Spain, France, Belgium tennis clubs are replacing tennis courts by padel courts, some clubs like Forêt de Soignes replaced them all and offer only Padel courts nowadays.  Garrincha Diegem just opened and offers 11 Padel courts (7 covered and 3 open). I am 66, never played a racket sport in my whole life and started Padel joyfully last year. My partner stopped tennis after some 50 years and is now an ardent player of Padel also. Like many many many others around us!

[Daanman]

Fully agree, please add Padel as an activity/exercise type.

[BjornRB]

Soon it's been two years since this thread was started. No Padel as an exercise in sight. What gives?

Fitbit, your missing out. Surely it can't be that much work to add a new exercise?

[Tissie90]

In stopped using Fitbit, got a Garmin now

[Cesar.Pico]

PADEL is the faster growing sport in the world, PLEASE add it as an exercise

Thanks, I guess.. How many votes are required so Padel can be added as a sport?

[zimakki]

Please do add padel. Im new to fitbit... as padel is not there at the moment how would you suggest I track this?

[Vladex]

Please add padel! It's long overdue! 

[FedericoUY]

Looks like fitbit won't listen the community and people asking for new modes of excercise. Since 2015 there are requests to add padel to the excercise list. Even though it should be almost the same as tennis.

BTW the sport is not padel tennis. Padel is padel, and tennis is tennis.
