Rowing/Stationary Rowing Machine Exercise Shortcut

Considering most of the important cardio equipment is represented in the Exercise list, I think it's more than justifiable to add a stationary rowing machine to the list. Almost every gym in America contains at least one or more Concept 2 rower as it is a total body and low impact method of Cardio. It's one of my favorites and I'm sure I am not the only user that is a bit disappointed that is not represented.

Hi,
If there is not the right training activity I use only „training“

Hi everyone! I just found out that if you download ErgData you can set it up with the Fitbit to use when you're on a Concept2 rower. PM5 can connect via bluetooth to the erg app and the other PM models by usb.

Fitbit does not care about this forum....people here already purchased the product.

To get your voice heard everyone must write a review on Amazon and Best Buy discussing these issues.

That's a good idea. I like it. Onward and upward.

Adding indoor rowing to exercise shortcuts has been suggested many times for several years.   Are you listening?

Yes!! An erg/rowing feature would be amazing. Especially as the charge 3 is waterproof. Please add this.

People have been asking for rowing since 2015. Nothing yet. I believe they do not know how to do this, but Garmin has several trackers that monitor rowing. So that will be my next tracker,

Most indoor gyms have rowing machines; it seems a shame not to have an exercise option or shortcut to track this activity; I've had to log mine manually in the past which is awkward; I would definitely be more invested in fitness/getting fit if this were an option.

Please add rowing as an exercise option for the charge 3.  I bought one as soon as it came out for primarily the waterproof construction, and hoped there would be more workout options.  In the charge 2 we had at least a generic "workout" option but that is not available in the Charge 3.  Rowers unite!

Rowing and rowing machine options please!

Came here to suggest the same for Charge 3 - It would be great if there was an exercise shortcut for Concept II (Rowing Machines)!! 

 

Is there a recommended existing setting that would mimic this type of activity?

Yes please add indoor rowing! It’s been quite long since this was first requested and I can’t believe Fitbit hasn’t implemented yet. Come on guys! I purchased my Fitbit charge 3 one week ago and I’m already considering switching to another brand with better customer support

One more vote for EArG/stationary rowing.

Repetition is the mother of education! Please add indoor rowing! At the same time please add Rowing as an option, especially as it can be almost a straight duplicate of Biking.

Please add Rowing (Concept 2 ergometer) to the exercise list.  Amazed that after all the requests here, it still has not been implemented.  PLEASE!

I vote for this addition to the Fitbit software as well. 

Further please add Rowing as a GPS tracked option, like bicycling. Thank you.
