Choosing Your Activity Type

We offer a large variety of activity types that you can select for your workout. The default activity type depends on which MapMy you are using, but you can choose any of our activity types from any of our apps. The activity type that is selected will control if the workout you are recording is GPS tracked, determines eligibility for challenges, and is used to calculate the calorie burn estimate for your workout.

To change the activity type for your workout, from the Start Workout screen, tap on the gear icon to the far right of the activity type that is currently selected. This will take you to the Workout Setup page and allow you to choose between the most recent five activity types that you have used. If you want to choose a different activity type than those listed, tap on the See All Activities option below those five activity types.

Once you've tapped on See All Activities, you are taken to a list of the top activities, a tab that you can select to view all of the activity types we offer, and a search bar to search for any activity type that you cannot find there.

If you want to use an activity type that we did not offer, please submit a feature request through our Feature Request Form linked here to let us know what activity type you would like to see along with any additional details that may be useful.
