Fitbit Coach will become part of Fitbit Premium

[FitbitCommunity]

To the Fitbit Coach community,

Fitbit Coach is now becoming part of Fitbit Premium. Fitbit remains committed to providing all the tools you need to live a healthier, more active lifestyle. To give you more choices for working out as well as the range of additional features check out Fitbit Premium. With the Fitbit Coach workout content now in the Fitbit app, and to allow you to use one app going forward, we’ll shut down the Coach mobile app, Coach website and Coach app on Fitbit smartwatches on July 30, 2021. 

If you’re currently paying for a Coach membership, here’s what you can expect:

• Annual members— you’ll soon receive a prorated refund of the remainder of your Coach membership

• Monthly members— you won’t incur any further monthly membership charges

As an exclusive offer to support Coach members through this transition, if you’re not already a Fitbit Premium member, you can try Fitbit Premium for a full year at no additional cost if you sign up by July 30, 2021. 

To start your Premium trial, make sure you download the Fitbit app and log into your account before you get started (you must use the same email address for Fitbit Coach and the Fitbit app to take advantage of this offer). Then, open the Coach app on your phone and tap the message at the top of the screen to start your Premium trial.

Thank you for being a loyal Coach member, and we look forward to continuing to support your health and fitness goals.

After searching a number of fitness apps, I've decided to use the Nike Training Club-not to be confused with the Nike Running Club. Two different apps. In my opinion, the Nike Training Club is the next best alternative to Fitbit Coach and Fitbit Premium. They have a heck of a lot of workout programs designed for various fitness levels as well as the types of exercises you want to do. And you can preview them so you can see how to do it properly. 
The app offers nutrition advice, sleep advice, mindful advice; and its all FREE. If you have a Chromecast device, you can stream workouts to your TV. You can find the app in the Google Play store or the iTunes app store,

This is so frustrating. Literally just started my Premium subscription again to use Fitbit Coach, opened the Windows 10 Fitbit Coach app and discovered that it doesn't even work.

1) The Windows 10 Fitbit app still prompts users to open the Coach app. It doesn't have any workouts.

2) Like many others, I like how Coach adjusted to your fitness levels and tracked progress. This is infuriating.

When I first started this post I was really hoping the answer we'd get from fitbit would be better than the usual standard answer. Its sad to see that the best part of their premium service was removed. I hope this algorithm will be bought by another company and we can find again the pleasure to use customized workouts based on our improvements. Because right now paying for a service that we know sells our information back that only gives videos that can be found free, that sounds like an unfair trade. Fine they offer sleep analysis, but after more than a year you probabaly already figured your sleep patterns. That being said, I am happy to see that alot of people share the same frustration. Only future will tell, thanks for other suggestions I am trying a few.

I have been checking this comment section periodically to see if anyone from FitBit would address customer concerns. They could make an effort to develop a search function or add music back into the audio workouts that inexplicably are silent now. There is no reason they couldn't do personalized workouts as they did in the FitBit Coach app and people might even understand if they explained why it would take a while or even why they can't do it. Some of the fixes requested seem pretty small. But, instead, rather than address the customer dissatisfaction they deleted customer posts! This is incredible. I wanted to try to stick with FitBit, because of the sleep tracking. But, now I can see that if I have a real problem, my concerns won't be addressed, and if others have the same problem and we put it here, our posts will be deleted. What a shame.

Because of the lack of replies or acknowledgement in this thread, I went to the "Suggested Features" section and suggested a search function for workouts. I received a reply that if this request gets enough votes, they will work on it. Perhaps those interested can go and give the suggestion a vote. 

I also voted for someone else's suggestion for showing a list of exercises for each workout. If we take our suggestions there, at least someone looks at them and we can vote for the ones important to us and maybe make a change.
