Floor climbing workout on Garmin Instinct 2

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for help in creating a specific workout that counts floors climbed. I’ve spent quite a bit of time searching Garmin Connect but haven’t been able to find a solution.

When I create a workout under the "Cardio" category and select "Floor Climbing" or "Step Climb," it doesn’t track floors within the workout itself. However, the altimeter seems to be working correctly since the total floors climbed are displayed accurately in the general overview.

It seems like this should be possible—I've found screenshots on the Garmin forum showing similar functionality:

Thanks in advance for any help!

Do you use the Floor Climbing activity? For that one, the workout has to be of the type Custom, not Cardio.

no, I actually use Cardio, and select Floor Climb as Workout type:

Could you advice, what should I choose as an option in Custom workout?

You have to use the Floor Climbing activity and a workout of the type Custom, if you want to have the floors count in the stats. You cannot use Cardio. Neither as the activity, nor as the workout type. When you choose the type Custom, you do not need to select any exercise. Just use the time, lap button, or HR for delimiting the workout steps.
