Feature Suggestion: Weight Training Workouts for Fitbit Coach

[mroldbluechair]

Good afternoon,

Can anyone advise if FitStar will eventually add weights to the mix?  Any use such as kettlebells or sandbags for future training?  I notice in some of the videos a kettlebell in the background.  I like to add these but just curious if anyone knows if this will be a future addition.

Thanks,

Mike

I have no idea and I doubt Fitbit will give out that information. Changes are usually announced when they happen!

@mroldbluechair Thanks for your question. At this time, we don't have plans to incorporate weight training in Coach workouts, but it's a great suggestion and worth considering. I recommend helping support this idea by giving it your vote. We hope to see you there!

Please make weights an option- I work out in a fitness club but would love a coach!

[JenHerz]

I wish there was some sort of free weight routines instead of only body weight!! It would also be amazing to have a heavy-bag workout or two!

That’s too bad. I signed up and payed for the membership over other apps thinking there would be weight training session mixed in. I chose fit bit coach app inpart because of how great the fit bit app is I wanted to support Fit Bit to keep the great features. Features that other apps make you pay to unlockg like calorie tracking with macro nutrient display and water logging. I hope weight training will be added soon so I don’t

I so wanted kettle bells to be included. Fitbit Coach is good but after a short while it gets a little bit boring and repetitive. I must admit I am a little bit disappointed.

2 years of suggestions of incorporating weight lifting in Fitbit Coach. Many thanks for the suggestions, but nothing happens. I use a third part app for that, but I'm thinking that Fitbit is too lazy in incorporating customers suggestions ...

I guess someday, fitstar will eventually be improved with their technic and coaching method, having a lot of training comes with a lot more skills, which we hope of seeing soon.

There was an update on April where we added 15 new Audio workouts to Fitbit Coach which were: 

• 5 Stretching Workouts
• 10 Total Body Workouts

Please please please add at least dumbbell and kettlebell workouts. It would be so useful for people with weights at home, especially under these times of quarantine.
