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 couldn't be bothered waiting for a fix so i just reseted my fenix.Here is the strength fit file from the sports folder. Hope it helps

Many thanks, I added and it works and I will test it in two days.

I am trying to use your link but just get an error message (my browser thinks it is a web link). Is there anything special I need to do to access the file. My watch has also mysteriously forgotten that it had a strength training setting.

I just got my fenix5 4 days ago. The strength app was there. Then I did the software update and now the strength app disappeared. I went into the apps and wigets to download it from garmin connect and it now said it was not compatible with the fenix5. It WAS with all the other watches. Now when you go to garmin connect to check its not even there to look at let alone download. So im guessing its not compatible with the fenix5 new software update.

I did write the developer of the app before it was removed but have not heard back from him. Hopefully he pulled it and is updating it for us to get it back
