Fitbit Premium available on desktop or laptop

I use my dashboard on my desktop or laptop and not my iPhone.  I like the bigger screens and it appears it is not available.  Will Fitbit premium ever be available on computers.

I can't imagine paying for yet a new monthly service when the devices themselves already cost a good bit of money.  I really wish there was a way to get rid of any notices at all that premium even exists.  I personally think it's a complete rip off.

My eyesight is not great and have difficulty re4ading the phone and tablet. Availability on PC would make Premium much easier to use

This has been posted by others. Premium features like workouts are very HARD to see on a tiny phone screen. Please make these features available for laptops and computers.

I'd like to take advantage of the Fitbit Premium workouts on my desktop/laptop--my phone is just too small for me to use for this function. Please fix this!! There are several others who have expressed the same desire in a community chat.

They are available - all workouts are from FitBit Coach (aka FitStar). That can be accessed at coach.fitbit.com

Yes! I would buy premium BUT what is stopping me is having to watch workouts on my phone. I'd prefer to watch them on my TV so I can see & follow them better. Once you guys have that I'd be happy to pay for premium until then I use free workouts on YT

@Annieoakley02 and @Nicolio. Thanks for sharing this suggestion about having Fitbit Premium features available on desktops. This idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, so I’ve moved your post here. While this isn't currently planned at this moment, we have left voting open so we can keep tracking this request over time. To learn more about how Fitbit decides which suggestions get developed, visit our FAQs.

Trying out your Fitbit Premium service and one of the first hiccups is having a workout playing (not even full screen) on my phone with no chrome-casting options. A 1.5" by 1.5" training video has to be a joke?

These videos cannot be played on a Laptop as they are native to just the App. My suggestion would be to make the videos: 1) Full Screen, 2) Playable on a laptop, 3) Chrome-cast friendly.

 

I like the format and the guided programs, with a few tweaks you will have a product that is fully baked.

Especially since we still cant stream from the app, it would be awesome to use my laptop to view Premium videos. I think streaming the app is ideal, but just for a larger screen it would be nice if I could alternatively log into the Fitbit website and view the same content here.

Yes i agree. We should be able t0 connect the videos to chromecast so we can watch and follow along with workouts on the t.v.

my premium subscription is only very partiatly linked to the laptop. I find using coach on the laptop much more convient (easier to see etc). However the next workout is not listed. You can't remove a favourite set on the phone from the laptop.

Surelty my login+device id would be sufficient security to prove it is me.

Although Premium works with mobile devices, to reach an older demographic or a demographic which has sight issues,  FitBit may want to  create an app for desktops. Although I have a mobile phone and notebook, my preferred device is my desktop because it is easier to read and to manipulate tabs.  If one enlarges the screens on mobile devices for readability, the buttons may not work well. The verbal command modes like “ Hey Google” are a bit temperamental.

ok so after several days of trying to figure this out, getting no where with online chat and struggling with the 'Commuinty' on my phone and laptop to navigate the Help/suggestions options. I have now found, after posting my question/suggestion, how to access the Premium Videos on Laptop.  You actually need to go to Coach.fitbit.com (not Fitbit.com) and log in here to access all the Premium videos and activities on the Laptop. That said a link from the Fitbit.com login Dashboard would be helpful as it seems a number of people have asked the same question.

Hi @Bex71. Thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion with us. Just to clarify, the Fitbit Premium features and workouts are currently available just on the iOS and Android app, however the Fitbit Coach workouts are available on the Fitbit Coach app and website.

Fitbit coach works best on its web version because you can view it on a bigger, static screen and also cast it to a wireless screen/TV for easier focused exercises. Doing these on a phone is incredibly awkward.
Would it be possible to unify the new premium experience and coach to have the premium videos and workouts also on the web?
