I go to a boxing club/session most days and all the colleagues in the group have similar calorie burn from the hour session.

my wife bought me the Sense Fitbit for Xmas and my calorie burn registers about 1/10th compared to everyone else yet I work at least as hard as everyone else!!

So disappointed and frustrated!

Check your heart rate. Sense is known for a very inaccurate HR sensor and since calories depend on HR, I would say this is the culprit.

Same here. I did 45minutes boxing and my Sense counted 1cal/minutes. I spent more calories walking/shopping in 20mins than doing 30 mins HIIT cardio workouts. Couldn’t find a way to fix it on the phone app. Totally frustrated
