I’m very frustrated because I’ve been using my treadmill a lot lately and the distance calculated by my Fitbit is always wrong and there’s no way to edit it. I know it’s a problem users have had for a couple of years and it’s unbelievable that it hasn’t been solved. Not everyone can go outside for a run with the GPS. I understand the distance on a treadmill might not be accurately calculated but at least give us the option to edit. Thanks!

@BrigBeu Welcome to the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here! Sorry for the delay in my reply.
Let me help you with your treadmill distance. If you wish to improve the distance calculation while on the treadmill then please avoid grabbing the handrails as this will ensure it detects your steps. The distance is calculated by multiplying your steps and the stride length. If you still wish to have more control about the data for this activity you can manually log it.
Regarding editing a detected activity, currently this isn't possible but you can share your idea in our Feature Suggestions board. Search for the idea first to see if one already exist so you can add your vote. The more votes an idea gets the more likely the developers will try to implement it.
Let me know how it goes.
