My Burn Bar doesn’t show on my workouts

Solved the problem of being the first to do the workout and having no burn bar (for me anyway).

(Steps I tried) - wifi on and off. No luck. all kinds of privacy settings on and off. no luck.

tried doing a workout on my ipad ..... burn bar appears!!! Figured it must be a problem with the phone / fitness app.

tried unpairing and repairing watch with phone..... no luck.

tried doing a simple hard reset on the phone (volume up, volume down and hold lock button until apple icon appears)...... success!!! After the 2 minutes of starting a workout, the burnbar appears!!,

always happens to be the simplest answer.....

give it a go, and good luck :-D

EDIT : This didn't actually work in the end, but after messing about for a while, I have found some more answers...

• burnbar seems to come up when i have a good wifi connection (hence it seeming to work when i reset my phone in the house)
• when in my shed-gym with bad wifi connection, burn bar doesnt work.
• my partners burnbar always seems to work.
• compared settings between our phones and only differences are that her ‘personal hotspot’ was off, and under ‘mobile data’, ‘icloud drive’ (towards the bottom) was turned on.
• I trialed these changes, and it now seems to work.

will test this more over next few days, but if anyone else has this problem, these settings changes might be worth a try...

Think I might have found the setting needed to share the data (kinda hidden away).

Will try it out and report back later tonight.

The setting I found, comes under Privacy / Analytics & Improvements / Share Iphone and watch analytics / improve health and activity.

When I connect to the Planet Fitness WiFi it works! Thanks for everyone's help!

Hello Bodruddoza,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. From your post, the Burn Bar isn't appearing for your workouts in Fitness+. We'll do what we can to help so you can see them.

Even with sharing of data being on, there are certain requirements for the Burn Bar to appear. Check out this link for all those requirements to make sure they're being mate: Work out with Apple Fitness+

Kind regards.

I had this same problem. I found the solution in another post.

not all workouts use the burn bar, so try a different one of you don’t see it at first

Could it be something to do with mobile data when you are at the gym and wifi at home? Have you looked to see if watch and fitness data are turned on under the mobile data settings?

(its just a guess, im not an expert lol)

I think that’s it, make sure the Fitness+ toggle is enabled. I guess we’ll find out tonight if it worked😄

Same here. Have read everything I can find and it should be functioning but no matter the workout I always get the comment about being one of the first to do the workout no burn bar available. Will keep searching for an answer. I will

post back here if I get mine functioning.

I’m also not getting my burn bar, there is also no option to turn it on in the metrics tab. I had it initially for the first couple of workouts but for the past 5 or six I can’t get it. Also Apple needs to get this to work with airplay 2

Same is happening to me. I have tried several different workouts and always get the comment about being the first to do this workout, no burn bar available. That cannot be possible. I contacted apple support and they told me to make sure I have all my settings correct which they are. Still doesn't work. Very frustrating!

Me and my girlfriend are doing the same bike workouts. Hers shows a burnbar, mine says I'm one of the first to do the workout.

This has been happening since I started using it. In the metrics on he workout, the burn bar is turned on, and all the phone settings are exactly the same.

I have tried restarting both my phone and watch, but no result so far.

If anyone works out a solutions, please let me know.
