Strength Training missing from Fenix 5S

I used to have a Vivoactive HR and I distinctly remember that 'strength training' was one of the pre-installed activities.

Now with my new Fenix 5S I cannot find 'strength training' (or weight lifting) as an activity. And I cannot find anything similar in the IQ store.

Is this going to be added? How can I overcome the problem?

I have the exact same issue on my F5.
Apparently there is a some kind of bug that makes some of the default apps disappear and you can only bring them back by doing a factory reset. I ve never actually tried the factory reset so i m not sure if it will work or not.

of course it is there.

settings -> activities & apps -> (scroll down) strength -> add as favorite

No problem with my 5S, using strength now

Press Menu, and it should be there if you selected it on setup. If you don't just go to "Add" and find it.

Try the Webupdater tool via USB cable

I had similar issue with a missing profile on a 735 and it reinstalled the deleted file. It doesn't reset anything of settings unlike master reset.
You can then add in favourites.

Same problem here, and it's not only a watch problem as it's also missing in the app and on Garmin Connect on my desktop computer

Can anyone connect the watch and extract the Strength Activity and send it to me? It is missing on my Fenix 5 and I want to try to add it as such. Thanks. Or a link through a PM to me please.
