Adding Pilates as an option under the exercise options

[wheelgambler]

I know that we already have the Yoga option under the exercise mode on the surge, but I would like there to be a pilates option.  I have a reformer and it allows the traditional pilates stretching, but it also has the rebounding feature of walking and jumping, similar to jogging.  I always have to use the workout mode when I do my pilates exercises on my reformer.

Hi there @wheelgambler! Glad to see you on board. I'ts great to know that you use you tracker to get the details of your Yoga sessions. 

About your Pilates exercises, as you use the Workout mode, after syncing you can name the activity; to get a more accurate information about your calories burned. You name your activity by tapping on the the Exercise Tile, the activity will appear as Workout if you click on the upper right corner you will get the option to edit it. 

Now, about your suggestion, as @SunsetRunner said, we would like to encourage you to place your idea Feature Suggestions board. You can also vote and place your comments in this requests that was already suggested here: Add PILATES to the Workshops and Auto-detect yoga, pilates (stretch & strength).  Members of the Community can place new ideas in this board so they can be implemented in a future update, this is the best way to make your voice heard.

I’ll see you around the Community!

You can have up to 7 exercise shortcuts. On your dashboard click on the gear and choose settings. Look for exercise shortcuts. Change to what you want. Make one of these Workout.

Device will need to sync before it takes place.

Then on the computer dashboard make a custom exercise. This will be at the bottom of the exercise tab Name it what you want.

Then on your device push in the button until you get to the exercise screen. Once there Swipe through until you see the Workout mode Hold in the button to start and when done Hold it back in to stop it.

Once it syncs you can rename it to the custom one you set up.
