I own a Bowflex Max Trainer and use the Fitbit Surge.  I was wondering if anyone knows what exercise on the Surge would be closest to the Max Trainer?  The Max Trainer is advertised as a mix of a stepper, treadmill and eliptical.  

 

For the Surge, what exercise would record closest calories burned? 

 

I noticed that for me Max display will say I burned around 440 calories, but on the Surge would say around 320 calories burned (I tried using stairclimber, elliptical and treadmill on my Surge).

Welcome to our Forums @SunsetRunner! I'd recommend using the "Workout" mode. This will help you to track a general activity with different intensity levels. 

 

Let me know how it goes.
