Good Afternoon,
First off, I really enjoy Fitbit and its compatibility with 3rd Party Apps and exercise equipment. Really helps me get a more accurrate picture of my calories burned...
My gym currently uses Liftfitness treadmills and ellipticals. The treadmills appear to have newer software where a user can scan a barcode and automatically log in. The workout statistics are immedietely synced with my Fitbit account and it is all kinds of awesome. I think it's very cool how the Fitbit calories and LF calories are not doubled -- and that Fitbit uses the LF information.
However, the software on the ellipticals are not as new. There is an option to download the workout to a USB device then upload to LFconnect later. If my Charge HR automatically logs my elliptical workout, what happens when I later upload the LFconnect stats and then sync? Will the workout be doubled? Or will Fitbit automatically know the difference -- even if it's not an immediate sync?
I unfortunately won't be able to make it to the gym for a few days...I can test it then, but if anyone knows the answer now, that'd be great!
Thanks in advance...

@rvlphotographs Welcome to the Community! I'm glad to see that you're enjoying linking Fitbit with third-party integrations. It's pretty cool all that you can do with Life fitness treadmills and ellipticals.
If you use your Charge HR and log the workout the information will be override, I mean when you upload the LFconnect this will override the Charge HR's data. It won't be double information.
You can learn more about logging exercises by checking How do I track my exercise and activities with Fitbit?
Hope this helps.
