Allow us to move or delete Cardio Load prompt

There is a new Activity called Cardio Load on my home page and I cannot move or delete it. I don't care about it. I want to see my Steps on the top of the list and now I can't see them because of this new Activity and the size of my iPhone mini. This is ridiculous.

I got home from a personal training session and got the above popup from your app.

This is not MY target!

MY TARGETS ARE SET BY ME WITH GUIDANCE FROM MY PERSONAL TRAINER NOT YOU. I am considering moving to a smart ring and removing the Fitbit app from my pixel watch and phone. That you don't allow your customers to choose to remove this nagging popup show immense discourtesy.

The algorithm used is poorly implemented anyway as one day you can be told you are in danger of undertraining and the next that you are in danger of overtraining.

The option to remove the popup is not something that should be simply "under consideration" but should have been an option from the beginning.

cardio load also doesn’t work for manually uploaded exercises, so when I do an exercise and upload it, I receive a 0 score, and then get a message I can’t delete every time I open the app saying I’m not doing enough cardio and am at risk of undertraining. To be honest, I dislike this feature so much that I am going to get a different brand device.

I think at this point enough has been said about the pop-up so let's have some fun with the algorithm's shenanigans. Here is mine giving me targets of 0-25 all week, then Sunday comes and hell let loose with a target over a 100. Even if I was sick or recovering (which I wasn't) in what universe this is a healthy or realistic increment?

I completely agree with the request to remove the cardio target. One day I get a worried message about resting and strain and then I suddenly get a message about undertraining. The tone of these messages feels very demotivating and condescending - and the location on the app is so prominent. It seems like there's an abundance of negative feedback about this feature. Why can't fitbit at least allow it's consumers the option to opt out?

Begging FitBit to get rid of this. I'm this close to cancelling my premium subscription and giving up on FitBit entirely because of these persistent, obnoxious, useless popup notifications every time I open the app. This is not a "feature" I care about or want and I cannot get it to go away. The community has been begging for a fix for MONTHS now - please, listen!

Agree with all other commenters about getting rid of the annoying cardio load pop up. I do not care about cardio load, so I disabled the tile, but still get the pop up. The message comes across as tone deaf, especially on days when I'm trying to take a recovery day or am not feeling well. Please allow us to turn the pop up off permanently!

Honestly it seems like a mistake in the back end somewhere if people are turning off the tile but still getting harassed by cardio load. It shouldn't be a difficult decision to correct a mistake!

Adding on that the placement is so intrusive. If Fitbit is requiring these banners to be present, why can't we choose their priority and place them at the bottom of the page? It's a third of the primary UI. This feels like an issue related to Google; Fitbit didn't force features on us before they were bought.
