Can you change the name of an activity/app?

I use several exercise machines, including a cross country ski machine.  There is no "canned" application for a X-country machine, only for actual X-country skiing, which uses GPS.  I use the Indoor Walk activity to capture the data for my indoor ski activity, and it works quite well for this function.  However, I'd like to change the name of the "canned" Indoor Walk activity to Indoor Skiing. 

Is this possible?   I have not been able to find a way to change the name.

    Hello! You will not be able to change the name of the default activity profile names such as "Indoor Walk" but a couple options you could try. One is to rename the activity in the Garmin Connect App once it has been synced. (Click on the activity>Click on the 3 dots on the top right>Edit Activity>Name>Indoor Skiing) Another option is to create a new "XC Skiing" activity profile and turn off the GPS so that when these activities sync they will say "XC Skiing". (On the watch, press right button>Scroll to bottom to + for Add>Scroll to bottom and select Create>Click on which activity to "copy"> Choose a name from the list>Scroll to GPS and make sure it is off>Done. Let me know if you have any questions.
