Myfitnesspal syncing strength training as "Aerobics, general"

[jrcchicago]

With the demise of Syncmetrics, I had to find a new method of syncing my runs and other exercise from Runkeeper to Fitbit. After a suggestion on these forums, I have started syncing RK activities to Myfitnesspal, and MFP to Fitbit. It is working perfectly for my runs, but strength training on RK and MFP is showing up as "Aerobics, general" on Fitbit. Anyone else experiencing this, or something similar?

@jrcchicago It's great to hear that you're using RunKeeper now! 

Well, this is expected behavior any activity that you log in Runkeeper will come to Fitbit with the name of "Aerobics, general", you don't need to worry too much about it because it will log the time and calories that you entered in Runkeeper it's just that the name in Fitbit will be Aerobics, general

Thanks. I've been using Runkeeper since 2011. I understand that I don't "need" to worry about strength training being tracked as "aerobics," but in fact, to the extent that tracking any of this matters -- which I assumed was the point, since this is a Fitbit forum -- I am concerned about tracking activity accurately. Which is why I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem or had a solution, as opposed to telling me not to worry about it.
