Fitstar Integration

[andboo11]

If I use my ipad to do my fistar workouts, with the blaze offer some functionality to complete each exercise and count reps or will it only work seperate from my existing device?

@andboo11 We started with 3 standalone FitStar Personal Trainer workouts that don't require your own FitStar account and will explore including FitStar Yoga workouts in the future.

We chose the three most popular workouts from FitStar Personal Trainer to provide a curated fitness experience on Blaze, allowing users to have on-the-go workouts right on their wrist without an internet connection.

Are there plans to add more fitstar workouts in the future?

Also I would love fitstar Yoga on Blaze! 

[matt9013]

Would love to see more workouts added in future updates.

[EmersonFitbit]

@matt9013 @Mikra It's been mentioned in the past, but there are the three default exercises at launch, and I'm hoping as well that we add to the list in the future!

[vskee11]

In the On-Screen Workouts program, will one be able to program tabatas? Any pre-programmed tabatas/HIITs?

[EmersonFitbit]

@vskee11 A good question. 

At launch, Blaze will have 3 workouts by default- a Warm Up, a 7 Minute Workout, and 10 Minute Abs. These are fairly general, but nothing too high-intensity. Hopefully, we're able to add to the array of activities included in the future!

I preordered the new fitbit blaze and I could not be more excited about it and I also have fitstar but my question is does anyone know if fitbit plans to have more than just the 3 pre-programed workouts installed on the blaze avaliable for download? When I was reading about the blaze, it says it only comes with the warm up, 7 min work out, and a ab workout. Any info anyone has about the blazes capabilities with fitstar would be appriciated!

[urperfectverse]

I'd like to know the same! i also preordered mine. I'm just hoping that it will get updated every so often. Honestly, without additional workouts added, it's almost pointless to mention as a huge selling point, in my opinion.

Moving to the blaze forum where you will get a better answer

@angelarr24 @urperfectverse Hey there!

As mentioned above, Blaze will come with 3 pre-loaded exercises to choose from. As always though, I can assure you that we're always looking at building on the foundation of existing features so that users get the most out of the entire Fitbit ecosystem. 

I don't yet see a Feature Request for additional Fitstar exercises for the Blaze, so I'd recommend creating one so that you may organize your thoughts and we could forward them to our developer team. This is the best way to add your voice to our feature consideration process. 

Thanks for your time! As always, I'm here for questions.

I thought that if you get the blaze more come with fitstar, so I bought it for a year, and I'll give Fitbit some time on this, till April 1st, otherwise I want my money back, as I was misled into thinking all workouts are on the blaze.

@Michaels19 You should probably contact customer service. If you decide to wait, just make sure to check out the refund policy so you don't wait too long: https://www.fitbit.com/legal/returns-and-warranty

[Michaels19]

@Jrdubyakc sadly it says no returns or refunds, guess I just gotta hope Fitbit comes through for me and has it sync, I mean they did it with the Apple Watch, so fitstar can be put in a smartwatch, I really appreciate the help

[Poagie]

So what you are saying is this fitstar on blaze is useless and over advertised under delivered. What good is 3 default easy exercises for people who where expdxtjng to use it with fitstar as it has been implied. This is very disappointing. Now considering returning my blaze.

[TizzyBrown]

Agree that FitStar feature was misleading. At least updating different workouts each month would be satisfactory. Please consider

[ErickFitbit]

@Michaels19@Poagie No, you can check my post from January here which explains that Blaze comes with 3 standalone FitStar workouts, meaning you're not required to use with a FitStar subscription. You can use the FitStar membership as an additional workout regiment.

@TizzyBrown If you'd like to see full integration with the paid FitStar subscription, I recommend voting for this existing idea within our Feature Request board. I greatly appreciate the feedback and will make sure it reaches the appropriate team.

[Michaels19]

Yes, I thought the extra workouts could be loaded onto the blaze, I don't regret, just wish my hopes weren't up. That's all thx

[Broph78]

I would like to add my voice that you should be able to add more than the three workouts from fitstar. The three are ok but if would be great if more of the fitstar could sync. Feels disengenious to say you can do fit star workouts.

[SunsetRunner]

I would be fine w a max of 3 first at workouts on the blaze but agree - it should integrate / allow the user to pick. I have not paid for first at but I would if this feature were developed.
