Steps not counting towards virtual Expeditions

Hi

I use a Stair Stepper regularly at the gym and record the activities using the Floor Climb app on my watch. Does anyone know why the floors climbed on the activities do not count towards the virtual expedition I am currently doing ?

    Daily steps are counted with the accelerometer in the watch. You need to move your arm for the watch to register the steps as during a normal walk. The floors are counted that way: Steps + barometer change. You don't change altitude (no barometer change) on the stepper = no floors. No progress. 
    Challenge is thru fitness tracker = real steps, real height change.

    Fitness tracker and activities are not the same. They do separate recordings.
