Did my first ride this morning...and wore my Fitbit Charge 3 plus an ANT heart rate monitor so I could see results on my Peloton screen.  After the ride it asked if I wanted to share results to Fitbit...and I said yes.  So for things like Calories Burned, did I just get my results double counted?  ie...the Charge reported to the app what it picked up, and then Peloton did the same.

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @ORDub. I am sorry for the delayed response.

 

I appreciate your participation in the Forums and sharing your concern about double counting your stats after you share your Peloton results with Fitbit. Every workout that is posted to Fitbit will be logged as an exercise and will include the length of your workout, distance and calories burned. With this all steps, calories, and active minutes recorded by your device are overridden for the duration of the logged activity by the activity's values. This ensures that your calories are not counted twice. You can find the additional details at: https://support.pelotoncycle.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000182786-Peloton-X-Fitbit-FAQs.
