Hi everyone! 

 

I am very excited to announce the official release of Fitbit Premium, now available for purchase in select regions. This post will address some of the top questions we’ve seen for Fitbit Premium. For further details, check the information provided on our product page, our blog post, and help article. Fitbit Premium is available in the Fitbit app on Android and iOS.

 

Q: What is Fitbit Premium?

A: Fitbit Premium is a paid membership in the Fitbit app that leverages your unique data to deliver personalized, actionable guidance and coaching to help you reach your health and fitness goals. It was created leveraging insights from 10+ years of Fitbit data and academic and medical expertise to help you move more, sleep better and eat well with customized programs, advanced sleep tools, personal insights, hundreds of workouts, new challenges, and more – all in one place and made just for you. 

 

Q: Who is Fitbit Premium for?

A: The Premium membership is for the everyday consumer who is looking for extra support and motivation to begin to make healthy changes to improve their overall health and fitness. It’s perfect for those who are committed to taking action, but may not know where to start.

 

Q: Have any previously existing Fitbit features moved behind a Premium paywall?

A: No. All the Fitbit app features you enjoyed before Premium are still available for free, and we’ll continue to add new free features in the future. Fitbit Premium adds new paid features, but does not remove any previously free features.

 

Q: Do I need to pay a recurring fee to use my Fitbit device?

A: No. Your Fitbit device will remain fully operational without a subscription to Fitbit Premium.

 

Q: Will current Coach users be required to pay more for access to Premium?

A: No. Current Fitbit Coach subscribers will automatically get access to Fitbit Premium features as soon as Premium is available in their country or language. Their subscription price will remain the same as it is today, and for as long as they choose to keep their subscription active.

 

Q: Has weekly sleep average been replaced by sleep score, or moved to Premium?

A: No, weekly sleep average is still available to everyone. To view it, tap the sleep tile in the app, swipe left on the graphs at the top until you see “Hours in Sleep Stages,” then tap the graph to see your weekly averages.

 

All Fitbit users will continue to have access to their time asleep, sleep schedule, sleep quality details, as well as weekly hours slept compared to their sleep schedule. Additionally, all Fitbit users with a device capable of heart-rate tracking will also see their sleep stages and sleep score.

 

Premium members will see all of the above, and also receive a deeper analysis of how their sleep score is calculated. This deeper analysis includes visibility into sub-scores for time asleep, deep and REM sleep stages, and restoration details, which provides analysis of your sleeping heart rate and time spent tossing and turning.

 

Q: What exactly do I get with Fitbit Premium, versus the free features? 

A: All Fitbit users will continue to enjoy the free features in the Fitbit app available today, such as daily and weekly trends for your activity, exercise, heart rate, and sleep, hourly activity, female health tracking, educational insights, the Fitbit community, and logging food, water, and weight.  

 

In addition to this, Fitbit Premium adds: 

  • Guided Programs, which leverage expertise from the Fitbit Advisory Panel and internal experts to take you step-by-step through building healthy habits based on your own goals, fitness level, schedule, preferences, and unique stats.
  • Personalized Insights, which surface trends in your unique Fitbit stats to indicate when you’re on the right track with healthy behaviors and give you a gentle nudge when there’s an opportunity to improve. 
  • Advanced Sleep Features, which provide personalized sleep insights and a more thorough analysis of your stats with a comprehensive Sleep Score breakdown.
  • Dynamic Workouts, which give you access to thousands of workouts from certified personal trainers that will help you become stronger on your journey to optimal fitness. (Currently accessed with the Fitbit Coach app - but over time, workouts will become available directly in the Fitbit app.)
  • Games and Challenges, which will include adaptive, collaborative, and customizable challenges and games to be played with any family or friends you’re connected to on Fitbit, helping you all to stay motivated.

 

You can find more details on these Premium features in this blog post.

 

Q: How do I cancel my Fitbit Premium subscription? 

A: Please follow the directions detailed in this help article.

 

Q: I received a gift card for Fitbit Premium from Best Buy, how do I redeem it? 

A: Redeem your gift certificate and find all FAQs here

Hi SivilaFitbit, 

Thank you very much for your response. I managed to change the settings in my Fitbit app and it no longer shows the Fitbit Premium promo, it now refers to Fitbit Coach app. However, when I open the Fitbit Coach app, it still shows the limited version, not the Fitbit premium content. When I go to account settings, and try to renew the purchases or manage the subscription, it says that I do not have subscription. This is perhaps because my subscription was a gift and it was paid by another Apple ID than mine. So what do we do now? 

Thanks again for your help. 

Best, 

Hana

Hello,

 

I have again the issue that my Premium disappeared in the app and it is showing that I should purchase it. But I do have Fitbit Coach in the last 3 years and is still functioning very well in my chosen program.

Problem now is that under coach.fitbit.com it is showing that my Fitbit Coach subscription ends 17Oct2020, being a yearly one, but it is still working in the app. On the other hand, I cannot access anything to say please prolong my subscription or do any payments. Till now it has been booked automatically each year.

 

Please help me as I was enjoying Fitbit Coach and the Premium features very much and now I am lost.

Best Answer

I have FitBit coach but I just lost my premium access.   Why?

Best Answer

@barb8861 I have also the Coach, but lost premium, too. Who can help here? The chat support was a kind of a chatbot at best, telling me same things repeatedly and pointing to a Fitbit page I already knew.

Best Answer

@SilviaFitbit and @MattFitbit Would you mind helping me with that situation, please? The chat was apparently a bot going in circles and pointing me to the usual Fitbit Coach support page over and over again.

Best Answer

I have checked again. Now I do have Coach subscription prolonged for one other year. But premium features disappeared. How can I get them back? Please help.

 

I must mention that Coach subscription is now over Google Play store and has another e-mail address than my Fitbit account. Even though I could connect Coach with Fitbit using my Fitbit account data and Coach is subscribed.

 

@MattFitbit and @SilviaFitbit please help!

Thank You, @SilviaFitbit .  In-between support was able to open the premium features in the app and I can enjoy them again. Incredibly happy.

 

Let's see how it goes once the next payment will occur, but support wrote me they will be there to help in case of any issues. Thank you so much!

HI SilviaFitbit, thanks for passing this issue to the Support team. It has now been a week and nobody contacted me. It has been over two weeks when I first raised up this issue. I do not know whether this is considered normal in given circumstances, or the message got lost in the pipelines. Can you please look into it? Thanks, Hana
