Garmin Connect Improvement Suggestions - Activity Types

Former Member
Former Member
I would like some additional categories in the Activity Types in Garmin Connect. It seems weird to have things like wind/kitesuit flying but not have more common activities like Yoga or Pilates. Even something like Martial Arts would be helpful to many people.

My suggestions:
Yoga - Break this up into Hot Yoga, Vinyasa, and other types of Yoga as well.
Pilates
Martial Arts - Karate, Jujitsu, as well as other types like Fencing or HEMA
Boxing - Split into categories for Heavy Bag, Drills, Sparring, etc.
Sauna

Being able to edit your own categories would be helpful to.

Adding to the 'Compare Activities' would be helpful for tracking progress. For instance showing the heart rate graphs matched up either by distance or by time so you could compare your runs or when doing a similar workout over again (like in Crossfit).

    I don't know why I would take activity tracker or a HR monitor into the sauna :D :D but I definitely would like to see a activity called CrossFit or even better an app ;)

    Yoga and various gym class categories (boot camp, tabata, etc.) would be very welcome. RunKeeper has a bunch that are at least close enough for my purposes, so it's annoying to have however many months of properly categorized workout data there, only to have it all turn into "other" sessions now on GC.
