How do I track gym sessions with my Sense?

[Rugbyygal]

I have an app that I keep track of my gym sessions on (exercise, weight, reps, set, ect) but it does not sync to my Fitbit. My gym session evolves a mix of cardio and weights so I never know which exercise to track as (mostly say workout).

Is there any apps I can track my workout on that is also on Fitbit apps?
Or are there any tricks to imputing a gym session on Fitbit?

Hi there, @Rugbyygal. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post.

All the exercise shortcuts that you will find in the Exercise section are specifically designed to track the most out of each type of activity. The algorithms have been fine tuned to get more accurate data for each different exercise so that's the reason why there is a category for each.

When a specific exercise is not available within the exercises we offer, we suggest to use "Workout" (which is a generic catch-all for other types of exercise). Once you finish the activity, you can rename the activity to desired exercise/activity. Please note that the amount of calories burned vary from the exercise you're performing and due to the heart rate tracked by your Sense.

Note that the information to enter will change depending on the nature of the exercise. To give you an example, if you change from "Workout" to "Run", it won't remove the calories but will add distance as the main stat to be displayed, this happen depending of the activity you are categorizing. However, your the data already tracked will be still counted for your daily totals.

For more information about how to do so, see How do I add, edit, or delete Fitbit data and activities?

Regarding linking third-party apps to your Fitbit account, please see How do I connect my Fitbit account with another app?
