What does it mean to be a Jogger, Hill Runner, or 5K Racer anyway?
Your rank is an indication of your involvement in the Fitbit Community. If you continually visit the forums, your rank will change to reflect the time you've spent here. By posting and contributing to discussions, you may progress even further through the rank structure and unlock additional account priveleges. 

 

Your Rank title is displayed beneath your profile picture and Community name.

What determines my rank?

Post count is not the only factor that is included in the rank formula--that would be too simple! In addition to creating content for the Community, you get points when your answers are voted up or accepted as solutions. Voting for other helpful posts and being the first to respond to other member's questions can bring you even closer to achieving your next rank.

 

How can I rank up?

The easiest way to rank up is to visit often and add value where you can. The rank structure was developed to compliment the wide variety of ways you can engage with your fellow Fitbitters. As a community member, you can vote for the posts you find helpful, post new questions and then identify and approve the solution that helped you most (these are called Accepted Solutions). You can also comment on feature suggestions and start new discussions around topics of interest. It's a combination of these activities that will help you to achieve the next rank. 

 

Hint: Scroll to the bottom of any community board and click through to posts in the Unanswered Topics section to help new members, rack up more points, and earn yourself a place on the Most Helpful Authors leaderboard!

I skipped a rank, is this normal?
Ranking formulas are calculated using Boolean logic. Your journey through the rank system might not be as straightforward as Jogger > Recovery Runner > Base Runner. You could actually skip from Jogger all the way to Strider if the conditions were right. For example, if you started off taking your First Steps and then posted 10 times, but didn’t receive any votes on those 10 posts until 100 days later, by which time you had posted 20 more times and received 5 Accepted Solutions, you might jump ahead to becoming a Strider even though you’d have skipped a good 3 ranks in the process. 

 

I don't identify as a runner at all, can I opt out or customize my rank title?

Community ranks are designed as a lighthearted way to encourage engagement and offer other members a little extra insight into your participation here. They are not linked to any individual preference or setting, and it's not possible to opt-out. 

 

Community ranks and reputation

While ranks can give you a general understanding of how much expertise another member has and how engaged they are in the community, the best way to get to know fellow community members is by striking up a conversation with them! You can also learn more about the other members here by visiting their profile page (to view another member's profile page, click on their community username).

@SunsetRunner At 76 I get the enjoyment of helping others and at 11.00 every evening I receive my email from Fitbit showing the number of votes by appreciated Fitbitters.  They all add up and I enjoy the Marathon Racer rank, we have @WendyB as an Ultra Marathoner and you, a Space Racer.  Well done.

 

I have linked the rankings here and that was edited last March and your Space Racer hasn't been listed yet.  Edited because of incorrect link

 

Also for others asking about Privileges, this link defines that area in para 2, and needs to be updated again because your Space Racer should show as the eventual rank..Smiley Very Happy

 

My 5 years journey with Fitbit is in a couple of weeks and has been fulfilling, communicating with many Fitbitters.

 

In Australia I'm noticing more and more people wearing Fitbits, and this last week, our TV has been full of Fathers Day adverts for Fitbits and the retailers are advertising the new upgraded Fitbits released last week.

 

Fathers Day here today, so I'm going to Blaze/One and enjoy the day.. Smiley Happy I'm a multi user.

@XxDebbieDooXx I'm not sure, but there's a list of them. They go from
runner, to beginning runner, walker , etc. And I know they don't
necessarily go in order. You can advance to higher ranks, skipping other
ranks, do to the activity completed to qualify you for the ranking. I hope
this helped some. 😊

Activities outside the forums don't have any influence on the forum ranks. It's possible not being active at all and get the highest forum rank by helping the most awesome community.
