Unable to sync exercises from Fitbit to MyFitnessPal

I use my Fitbit Charge 2 to track gym exercises such as spinning and weight training. I have connected my account to MyFitnessPal and tracked exercise from MFP syncs to Fitbit but my exercises which I tracked with Fitbit do not export to MFP - any ideas what the problem is?

@MultiMartin @cmmesquire Thanks for joining us!  Like @Rich_Laue said, exercises from Fitbit won't be synced to MFP. If you really want to have the exercise on both accounts then you can log them on MFP and these will be replicated on your Fitbit account. You can check @AndrewFitbit's great post for reference on this an other third party apps.

Let me know how it goes!

I'm having the same issue.  I've revoked authorization and disconnected MFP and Fitbit quite a few times and still have not been able to get exercise data from Fitbit to sync with MFP.  Then, when I enter it in MFP, it syncs to Fitbit, creating a double entry which I have to adjust.

Yes i know whats happening, @MultiMartin. Only the Fitbit steps, not exercises sync to MFP.

 

@cmmesquire it sounds like your having theexact oposite broblem, in that you MFP exercises are syncing to Fitbit, the answer is to not log exercises to both. Use one or tye other.

See the pinned post at tye top of tye forum. You may have noticed that i moved your non Charge 2 related question to the tird party app forum

So, just to confirm, it's not possible to sync Fitbit exercises to MFP?
