My Fitbit only tracks when I am actually out walking and doesn't record when I am on the elliptical. Maybe they have models that do but the one I have does not,.

I agree and wish mine would capture the other exercises I do as well. Let us know what you get and how you like it or how well it works.

I have a fit bit flex which works on the treadmill but not on the rower bike or weights, but I can enter them as exercise on the app on my iPad. I'm not sure I would recommend it as after 5 I still don't find it easy to clip on but it works well

Hi ,I don't really fancy taking my iPad to the gym ,that's why I had my daughter's old iPod and son in law bought something that fits in my trainer ,,, and records it to iPod , but that's just the treadmill to , but I need ine that covers other items like bike /rower etc ,good look at the gym ,

I have a fitbit alto (I think). it measures steps, sleep activity over 15 minutes and tells the time lol! I find it useful to spur me on towards my targets
