Would Apple consider adding "Aerobics" (or Pure Barre - I know it is too specific) as a workout option?

I am tracking my Pure Barre classes in the Activity/Workout app as an "Other". Compared to other people who use different activity/workout trackers, it does not seem very accurate in terms of the data about the calories burned during the class. I usually burn about 200-250 calories while others burn over 300-400 calories. I understand it depends on each individual's body type, bio data, muscle mass, etc. However, it would be great if a workout type like "Aerobics" added to the list of workout options to increase the accuracy.

Apple Watch, iOS 9.3.1

Hi


Keep in mind that Apple Watch uses active calories (those that are burned by standing or moving around) as the primary measure for the Workout app and Activity app.


Many other fitness apps / devices focus on reporting total calories, which is comprised of active calories + resting calories.
