Calories not calculate for "weight training" and "workout".

I’ve been using Strava to record weight training, workout, yoga, etc., using a Polar HRM. My weight is set in my profile. I do see the HR during the activity. The activity record shows a average and max HR, as well as a HR profile vs time, but no calories. I’ve used the Polar HRM through the summer on bike rides with no issues (calories shown - but getting data from Wahoo Element).

I did search community for other posts regarding this. Saw similar question from 5 or 6 months ago that said bug was fixed. I do have the latest version of the app on my iPhone as far as I can tell. Thanks!

Hey ​@GeorgeDaPorge,

At this time, Strava only performs a calorie calculation on a ride, run, walk, and hike activities.
All other activity types will not display calories unless the upload partner includes the data with the activity upload. 

More information regarding calories can be found here.
