I'm totally confused. I really don't understand how the Fitbit App (android) interacts with the Coach app (android), and how the coach app interacts with Ionic. More specifically: I'm using a guided running program in the Fitbit App. Some of the workouts from the guided running program appear in the Coach app, and all workouts that appear in the coach app appears on my Ionic. But some workouts do not appear in the Coach app or on the Ionic. 

 

So question #1: Which workouts from the guided running program will appear on my Ionic? (I bought this watch so I could leave the phone home when running)

 

Question #2: How does the guided running program adjust workout inensity? Will workouts be guided based on HR-zone or pace? Will these personalized goals be added to the workouts somehow? HR-zone goals, pace goals etc?? 

 

Question #3: Is the coach app an early access app or a beta or something? It all seams so strange and badly explained.

@petterianssen A warm welcome to the Community. I'll be happy to clarify your inquiries about Fitbit Coach, Ionic and the Fitbit app. 

 

1) Fitbit Coach programs are a series of workouts tailored to your fitness level and ability. If you have your Fitbit app linked to Coach, some Coach workouts will sync to your Ionic. This means that you'll receive 1 personalized program sessions workout and 4-6 recommended workouts which will change periodically during syncs. 

 

2) Guided programs have already a list of workouts that will help you completing it. This won't change its intensity because it's a program that will help you improve your nutrition, workouts or more. However, these programs are tailored to your health and fitness goals. You can read the overview when you start one. 

 

3) Thanks for your feedback about Fitbit Coach. This isn't a beta app. As mentioned before, Fitbit Coach programs are a series of workouts tailored to your fitness level and ability You can learn more about it by checking this article.
