Allow us to move or delete Cardio Load prompt

[BonBon7]

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.

Just another customer, that will probably be ignored, begging you to get rid of the cardio load notification. I run 6 days a week and it's telling me to get back on track with a cardio load of 150. It's demoralizing and unnecessary.

This morning, I went to check my sleep stats, and I got the stupid cardio load message four times. Every time I x-ed it out, it popped up again a second later. Does this seem like proper functionality to you? I also think it's interesting that you edit people's comments. Trying to tone down your customer's rage at your incompetence and lousy service? This pretty much seals it for me. When my current device dies, I am not buying another FitBit. Ever since Google took over, you've taken a sharp nosedive.

Please remove the Cardio Load messaging from the Fitbit app. Or make it optional. It is insulting, patronising and annoyingly repetitive. Furthermore entirely irrelevant to many Fitbit customers, including myself.

I absolutely hate this & have no way/option to remove it. Please don't force reminders on us like this. Or the other one people are getting.

[Bacchusboo]

Ditto to everyone here who is annoyed by this feature.  I want it off!!! So sick of Fitbit.  It’s one thing after another.

I am posting another Vote to REMOVE this feature. Aggravating me daily. 

[Fastfred1959]

Last week I had over 50 miles walking and over 1200 zone minutes. This at the end of the day for this week will be over a thousand zone minutes and 54 miles walking. Even though I have done this the  dumb**s cardio tile asks me am I ready to hit my cardio load goal that I didn't ask for. I have also lost 60 pounds in 14 months so what makes fitbit think I need their condescending cardio load tile??!!!!

[Fastfred1959]

I read the review by the moderator and it's the same B.S by Google who owns Fitbit. Do they not realize if I don't use a Fitbit watch that there is no way in he*l I would ever purchase a Google watch. They are so out of touch or they just don't care about their customers.

I opted out of the cardio load feature because it doesn't account for swimming, which I do a lot. But it still gives me warnings that I'm undertraining. It's not helpful and annoying. When I opt out of the tile it should it me out of those warnings.

[Fastfred1959]

Is it just me or has anyone noticed a positive comment on Cardio Load???

[SweetMelissaGT]

I also can't stand the reminders everyday even though I have turned off cardio load. I'm not sure what cardio load actually tells us that's different than what active zone was meant to show. Active zone minutes never told me not to be active in a day either, which is what cardio load seems to be implying I should be doing.

[JustOldMom]

I am voting to have this removable, as well. My experience has been the same as the others. I purposely turned cardio load off, hoping I wouldn't see this message; I swim several times a week and fitbit doesn't track heart rate during swimming, so cardio load is inaccurate for me anyway. It is shaming when I've busted my behind two days in a row of swimming and I wake up to uninvited warnings that I'm at risk of undertraining. I HATE not being able to disable this awful, inaccurate message.

[MarkEvans]

Come on Fitbit. Allow users to disable notification popups about cardio load. This is an EASY fix — using existing code — with NO downside.

[md57]

Another late-60s user who is grumpy about being forced to put up with this "feature" despite having opted out. I exceed 65 active zone minutes every day, 450+ per week - I don't need the app telling me I'm at risk of under-training!

 

[Tietyen]

Although I’ve disabled the cardio load prompts in the app continue. They are annoying and nonsensical. I will never be interested in this feature. Please stop the in app messages!

[asatruar]

Another unhappy user. The nagging is annoying and I can't see how 'cardio load' related to fitness minutes.  once the number was higher, usually it is lower, sometimes much lower. 

[LolaJenkins]

Hello, I also wanted to comment that I agree with what everyone has said and would really appreciate an update where that message is taken out from the app!

I find the target load message at the top really shaming and insensitive. Especially since I try to watch my fitness levels already, and then it feels like I'm getting told off every time I open the app :(.

Thanks in advance for your help!

[PilatesNYoga]

Adding my vote. This clearly for rolled out before it was properly debugged. The “encrapification” of everything strikes again. 

[Libwalla]

Another vote to remove the persistent cardio load reminder message. I have the metric untoggled in my settings but am still nagged about "risk of undertraining". It's especially demoralizing if you're trying to get in shape, I logged 97 active zone minutes only to have the app imply I needed to "get back on track".

[janesdtr]

Adding my "vote" to remove the cardio load messages. I received and deleted 3 successive demoralizing messages this morning. That was 3 too many.  Allow us to remove the feature.

[Chris_R_2025]

Please remove the Cardio Load messaging from the Fitbit app. Or make it optional. 

[Kelro22]

Oh please allow us the option to turn this message off. It's a kick in the teeth to have met all my personal goals for the day, and still have my fitness app shame me that I'm not doing enough. 

[Fastfred1959]

I would like to hear from Fitbit/Google what they are doing about the shaming, inappropriate Cardio load. It is so easy to put this on our device so it should be easy to permanently disable it. Fitbit/Google show us that you actually care about your users.

[DebbieA27]

Came here to find out how to remove the cardio load pop and very disappointed that I can’t! It really didn’t occur to me that I couldn’t remove it as why would Fitbit enforce that for all users, we all use it for different purposes individual for our own needs. Come on Fitbit sort this out please!!

[Wiltron]

It's crazy this made it through QA. If I cancel Fitbit Premium, will the messaging stop?
