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.

I too am adding my vote to getting rid of the cardio load messages. I have switched off the tile so should not have to put up with the messages each day.

[DerMoment1608]

Please make an option to disable this message. It's so annoying. I don't care about it. All it does is blocking me from seeing the stats I want to see.

+1 to everything everyone else is saying. I’m going to try taking the Fitbit off to sleep - thanks for that tip!

[tankboy]

The "Ready to hit your target today?" pop-up not only appears every time I open the app, but it is not impossible to X/ close it out!

[DellaNova]

I am so upset that FitBit does not make this optional!!

I am PREGNANT.  I do not want these annoying messages.

FitBit should have taken into consideration people who are pregnant, nursing, sick, post-surgery, etc and give everyone the option for this.

THANKYOU. Not only is the cardio load dumb, It doesn't work  properly. Much Of my cardio is on a stationary Bike machine, which Fitbit can't see. And  walking 8000 steps a day.  And I still get those awful messages. Terrible idea from the start. 

[Fastfred1959]

I just called customer support to see if they had any idea if Fitbit is looking into being able to delete or disable the cardio load tile and they said they have no reports that Fitbit is doing anything about this. I was on the phone for over 30 minutes

Came to these forums just to ask how to turn off these Cardio Load reminders. I’m curious about the feature and have its icon on my home screen but have zero interest in these annoying reminders. I can track my progress just by looking at the icon. The reminders are just an annoyance that keep coming back every time I open the app.

Just liking and commenting in an attempt to also get this feedback to FitBit! Please allow us to opt out of the Cardio Load notifications. I have been an avid fitbit user for 10+ years now, and this is my least favorite feature fitbit has ever added. I agree that the verbiage is demoralizing. I don't know what "cardio load" is, but it must be different than the target zones, including the cardio zone, because it's requiring far too many to be realistic. Please, please allow users to remove this!

[Vladi7]

Agree with everyone else on this thread. There needs to be an option to turn off/opt out of cardio load messaging at the top of the app screen. 

To be honest, there should be an option to turn off/opt out of EVERY feature within the app for true user customization. It’s a no brainer. 

[MaryBoomer66]

This message pops up daily and is very annoying and demotivating. Please give us the option to remove it.

[BreeDee909]

Ugh, now I've started getting a message saying I'm at "risk of overtraining" which is equally obnoxious, considering I have been doing far less physical activity than usual. These messages are the worst! Let us opt out!

[kaalc00]

Another +1 here.

I deleted all of the cardio load data and removed the tile. Obviously I do not want to use this "feature." So why do I get an annoying message every day about meeting a cardio load goal? 

[Fastfred1959]

I would encourage everyone that wants the cardio load tile removed or us being to disable it to include in their statement that they would like a response on this issue. How many  votes does it take for Fitbit/Google  to take notice???!!!

[AimK]

I thought enabling cardio load would give me a helpful new metric. Instead I get intrusive and extremely inaccurate pop-ups on my home screen that I can't get rid of! Coaching notifications like that should be OPTIONAL.

[Natz114]

You can have my vote to remove this too ..I do not need to be having an additional target to meet my Fitbit was not bought for this purpose and any optional extras should be a personal choice for the Fitbit users not placed on their app and be non removable.  I do not want the pop up notification or the cardi load section of no use to me. 

[AndreaT]

Please stop the pushed cardio load comments.  It is awful - it says that I am either under-training or over-training.  It is just useless nagging that irritates every time I check my other stats.  I removed the cardio load tracking so the notifications should stop as well.  

[JeffersW]

I vote for being able to disable it

[Bldyhl]

I had a reprieve from receiving the popup notification for a few hours last night. I thought this had finally been fixed. I was wrong, it is back today. I'm so annoyed by this feature I am seriously thinking of changing my fitness tracker when this FitBit device dies.

[Beanie779]

Agree with everyone else. I also removed the Cardio load tile but am still receiving the Cardio load pop up messages with no option to turn this off. Messages, unless urgent, shouldn't be forced upon users. I don't need an app to tell me whether or not I feel ready to exercise.

[AntiochMrs.]

if that banner was just there first thing in the morning to tell me what my cardio load is and then tells me later in the day if I make it or not, then that would be more than enough. But yes, every time I pull up my Fitbit app. It pops up. Sometimes I have to wait a minute or so before I caneven get out of it. I hit the X repeatedly and it just sits there. And by the way, I definitely have mine turned off, I just double checked the cardio load option and it is off.

[mlepule]

Just adding my vote to get rid of the extremely annoying "ready to hit your target" message. I'm definitely ready to hit something, but I would prefer my target to be the keyboard of whatever FitBit master computer is sending me this notification. GAH! MAKE IT STOP!!

[Fastfred1959]

Here is what else is so screwed up with cardio load. I read in an earlier post that someone asked Fitbit why the actual zone minutes you receive for a workout aren't the right number. The response from Fitbit was that zone minutes that are raised heart rate levels have nothing to do with cardio load.  Cardio is all about raising your heart rate. This is just another example of how inaccurate cardio load is. 

[SP300]

I followed the suggestion of an earlier poster who said to comment on Fitbit’s social media pages. I posted on their most recent Facebook post and I suggest you all do the same. Maybe if we make these comments visible to the general public they might actually do something, since they don’t seem to care very much about existing customers.

[justjessicawas]

I agree.  I have been a FitBit user for almost 9 years but I would consider changing to another company because of this message.  I have removed the cardio load option for display but the message still pops up.  I really hope this fixed as soon as possible.
