Am wearing Fitbit zip on trainers and there is still no correlation between what the cycle/treadmill records and what my Fitbit records!

Hello @Helbee, welcome aboard to our Community. Keep in mind the Zip, use your amount of steps along with the motion pattern of moving forward to calculate your distance. If this movement is limited by a Cycle/treadmill machine its more likely the distance will be inaccurate. 

 

What I'd recommend, is to use your Zip while you are doing your session, and once you have finished enter a manual activity that cover the time of your exercise with the correct amount of distance. All steps, calories, and active minutes recorded by your tracker are overridden for the duration of a manually logged activity by the activity's entered values. This ensures that your steps are not counted twice as long as the manually logged activity has the correct start time and duration.

 

  1. From the main page, tap "Track Exercise" or the tab of Exercises
  2. Tap the Stopwatch icon at the top-right
  3. Switch from "Track" to "Log" using the toggle at the top of the screen
  4. Choose the activity you'd like to log from the list, or create your own
  5. Fill out the details and submit the log

Hope this helps and see you around.
