Fitbit Coach features that Fitbit Premium doesn't have

So, this is going to be a little bit of a long post, but there were several features in Fitbit Coach that I really enjoyed and are part of the reason I paid for it that aren't in Fitbit Premium. As of right now, it is not worth it to me to pay for Fitbit premium because some of these simple things disappeared.

 

1. Fitbit Coach had personalized workouts for you based on feedback you provided during the exercises.

2. Fitbit Coach audio work outs (running, treadmill, elliptical, etc) showed you ahead of time every segment of the work out so you knew exactly what to expect when picking it.  It also had it so that you could see exactly how far you were in each segment during the workout.

3. Fitbit Coach audio work outs would lower the volume on your music when the audio coach was talking so that you could hear what they were saying. Fitbit premium does not lower the volume so I either can't listen to music or I listen to music and I can't hear the audio coach.

4. The categories of workouts that Fitbit Coach separated its workouts into made it easier to search for the type of workout I wanted (e.g. treadmill, full body, run, yoga, elliptical).

5. Fitbit Coach exercises could also be accessed through your Fitbit device if you did not have your phone on you.

 

Is there any chance that could change? It's great to have a variety of things, but I feel like I have no idea the difficulty level of any of the workouts on Fitbit Premium and the few that I tried ended up being too easy. I never felt that way with Fitbit Coach because it personalized the workouts and let me know difficulty level (easy, medium, hard) that it would be based on my current feedback.

@cefiro Welcome to the Fitbit Community.

 

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about features missing on Premium workouts Your comments are appreciated, we're always striving to improve our services offered. Be sure that features are implemented and improved based in user's feedback. 

 

The best place to make your voice heard is our Feature Suggestion board, those ideas are reviewed by our team and the status will change depending on Fitbit plans. Also, users have the opportunity to vote and comment on them. 

 

In regards to the difficulty level that you'd like to have on Premium workouts, you may want to start with Easier Go-Tos and then continue with under 15 minutes. If you feel ready, go for the "Earn Active Zone Minutes", they will definitely help you being on the heart rate zones. 

 

Hope this helps.
