Syncing workouts from Rowing Machine

[Uncle_Paul]

I’ve got a Fitbit Sense and have just bought a Rowing machine.

Dissapointingly the Sense will not link directly with the rowing machine so I’ve had to buy a heart rate chest strap.

The rowing machine tracks my workouts in iConsole+ and shows that they are available to sync. The manual logging on the Sense is poor in that it doesn’t have rowing machine settings.

Does anyone know if and how I can log the full data, preferably by syncing, showing times, heart rates, distances, stroke rates, minutes in zones etc?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums!

You can set up Workout mode on your watch. Once it syncs it will add to your dashboard. Not every thing you want. But it will sync times, heart rates, . You can then rename it, But you might have to set up a custom record

Hope to see you around!

Hi Wendy B,

Thank you for your message, but I’m still confused:-

“Setup workout mode” - is that selecting Interval workout or is it something else.

” ..... it will .... sync .... distances..” does that mean it will sync to my rowing machine - if so how do I do that, if not how does it calculate distances from the Fitbit itself?

Sorry if I’m being vague, just regretting not going for an Apple Watch which would sync with the rowing machine.

You can have so many exercise shortcuts that when set up will show on your device. Workout mode is used when nothing is listed

Workouts

It syncs to your fitbit dashboard not to the rowing machine.

i was wrong with the distance. I do not think it will pick it up as you are not walking
