11.10 Strength training is asking me to select an activity...every time

As of yesterday, when I launch strength training and select one of my custom strength workouts, the watch then asks me to select an activity. If I select 'strength' from the list of about 100 choices, it then lets me into my workout.

If this was a 'do once' after the upgrade I wouldn't be too concerned. But this greatly increases the number of button presses needed to get to my workout and is a little annoying.

Anyone else seeing this?

Is this a bug, which will be fixed?

I've used it today, no problems at all! Maybe you have some custom workouts, that's why all the hustle.

I have the same issue. I also accidentally selected hike the one time instead of strenght, as they were next to each other in my list, and it took me to a Hike activity setup, meaning I had to backtrack to choose the proper activity. fortunately this didn't impact the overall activity, but it is kind of odd.

I just checked mine as well. Selected "Strength activity" > (custom workout) > "Do Workout" then it prompts "choose activity". This is odd.

Edit: Now that I think about it, maybe since these are custom workouts that's why they prompt "choose activity". When I add the custom workout to my training calendar and then go to 'Strength" > "Do Workout" it works fine.

I have the same problem. It's really annoying ... For me, no matter if i add the workout to my calender ... still doesn't work.

This problem was already embedded in 10.10.

Hello,
I had the same thing since the last 11.10 update.

It happens in custom workout for me too after updated to the latest version. It is rather unnecessary because you already selected the "Strength" activity and then it asks you again for what activity you want to do it. I assume it will be fixed in the next firmware update.

Same here. Created a new strength workout and sync'ed it in case it was an issue with an older one, and the same thing happened. Workouts should be tied to an activity already, so this is really completely broken.

Yep same here. It's when you have a custom workout. I've had the Fenix 5x, 5x plus and this never was an issue, and never was an issue with my 6x pro solar until 10.10. I have already sent 2 emails to the beta team, the last when they rolled out 11.10. Small issue, but very annoying scrolling through activities. Hopefully an easy fix.

After further investigation, even when selecting the custom workout from my scheduled training calendar, it’s still asking me to choose. Def a nuisance.
