Began using Strava for gym workouts. I’m using a Wahoo Tickr HRM connected to the app (IOS). My height and weight are in the app. At the end of my workouts, I see time, AVG HR and Max HR. Does it not also calculate calories burned? If so, what am I missing? 

Thank you.

Hey ​@MikeGrice,

When an activity is uploaded to Strava, calorie information contained within the activity file will be represented on the Strava activity.

If the activity file does not contain calorie information, Strava can calculate the calorie value for Ride, Run, Walk, and Hike activities.

At this time, Strava does not calculate calories on activities which use a different sport type.

I hope this information helps clarify the situation.
