[open] Calories burned number changes after workout is completed

We got a bunch of bug reports that go something like this:

After I enter my workout and finish it, it gives me total kcals burned. In this case, 898. Now I exit the app and later go back into it, the kcals have changed. Now they’re 528. As soon as I finish it syncs the higher number to Apple Health.

This post is to acknowledge that there’s a bug and we’re working on it. If you’re affected, follow this topic to stay up to date.

I contacted the admin and the calories burned is based on time only so it’s basically a guideline only and not accurate.

Actually, if you didn’t deny Gym Hero access to your Apple Health gender and weight data, we use that on top of your workout duration to estimate calories. If you did deny access, we use average values based only on the duration.
