Adding workouts to Fitbit coach app

[Bwilso2]

I just subscribed to Fitbit coach premium but am unsure how I can add workouts to my watch. The only three that show up are the three preloaded workouts (abs, treasure chest and 7mins). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

From Fitbit’s help page:

CAN I USE THE FITBIT COACH APP ON IONIC WITH MY FITSTAR PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP?

At this time, the workouts available on Ionic are the 3 that come loaded on your watch.

So it looks like just those preloaded on the watch for the moment.

Hi, 

1. Does fitbit coach full premium workouts  work in any other smartwatch?

2. Is there a plan to add the full coach app (including the premium workouts) to the ionic watch in the future ?

Thanks!

Coach only runs on:

- iPhone/Android

- tablets

- computers

- Ionic

In my experience you'll want a device with a speaker, and its nice to push videos to a large monitor/TV if working out from home. Also, the app adapts based on feedback about exercise difficulty (too easy, too hard, just right), and the actual amount of time or reps completed.

For all those reasons you might find running the app on a computer, phone, or tablet to be a better experience.

You cannot. Fitbit had a false advertisement in one of their blogs about having the ability to add workouts to your ionic watch which is a total lie, as I found out after I purchased...

https://blog.fitbit.com/fitbit-coach-release/

And I quote (See bold underlined section) "Cherry-pick workouts, or select bodyweight sessions based on duration, difficulty, or exercise type—an improved design makes it easier to discover workouts, as well favorite individual sessions so you can access them faster and add them to your Fitbit Ionic device. Each video includes step-by-step instructions focused on proper form and technique."

Yep, which is why I'm returning mine.
