I live in a mountain city, but as soon as I leave my wifi I can’t listen to any workout in the Fitbit app. So, I just don’t use the workouts & I’m beginning to wonder why I am paying for premium

This would be a great option especially when overseas as I would have restricted data allowance.

Also, Headspace offer this as an option

How has this not been fixed yet?! What is the point of audio walking workouts if you can not download them? Wifi is not available outdoors, it is a critical feature that needs to be addressed. Thank you.

Downloading meditations for use while traveling by plane or train when it is not possible to stream data would be really useful.

I agree!  This videos should be downloadable and be able to be viewed on a bigger device.  I will be cancelling my trial if I can't view these on a bigger device.  It's crazy!

This should labeled "restore a feature." This used to be possible but with the "upgrade" to Premium, it no longer. I don't know how many votes it takes for a suggestion to actually be implemented, but the threshold should be lower for things that used to work and now don't. 

 

My workout just stopped in the middle today because of poor cell service. If I had been able to download it, I would have had a nice workout. Now, I'm just frustrated.

You should be able to download video and audio workouts on the go so you can access them I’d you have no internet access.I have no signal or Wi-Fi in my gym and therefore can’t access the workouts without them cutting out.

Hi @Chansb, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about the possibility of downloading video and audio workouts from Fitbit Premium. I noticed that a similar feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here, this helps to keeps the boards more organized. Make sure to add your vote as well to support this suggestion, this helps the team of developers to keep track of popularity and demand over time. 

 

Thank you again for your participation in the Community.

Yes, this is very frustrating.  Seems like this  request to download videos and/or audio work outs  conversation has been going on for about 16 months now?  What’s the hold up please?  

A huge benefit of the  Fitbit Premium App is exercising outside the home.  Wi-Fi when traveling is often sketchy; not robust or unavailable.  I’m in Mexico and the Wi-Fi doesn’t work in the gym in my building.  Streaming classes uses to much bites.  Fitbit premium was a life saver during the pandemic but now the need for a home workout program is less and less critical and should not depend on Wi-Fi access or streaming.

 

I hope Fitbit will adjust to the needs of their customers.  Other apps do have a download option by the way!   Just saying….

It would be great if the feature to download the workouts was taken seriously, there are many of us that rely on pay as you go mobile services still and not able to support the data to support these workouts when we are actually out and about doing them!

I pay for the premium service and thought that in this day and age there would be the ability to download and play these workouts when a d wherever we are.

Fitbit please take these requests seriously and help us mere mortals out.

Hello Fitbit

It is ages since I requested temporary downloads for workouts and nothing happens. Seeing as this is the most important thing about having Premium it would be nice to have a reply from you. You are now part of the Apple group so surely you are capable of doing what my library app has been doing for years now.

Appreciate your reply.

Thank you

It is such a basic feature and fitbit wants people to raise this issue among fitbit community so that they can prioritize it. Seriously? Fitbit team, I would suggest you to put poll via your social media handle or email communication to premium users and ask them what features they would like to have and you will find out that offline download feature would be among top.

I too would like to see this feature made available. I just got a Sense 2, which came with a 6 month premium membership. I was excited to give these audio workouts a try, to see if premium is something I would want to continue when my trial ends, but after the first two guided walking workouts i noticed a big spike in my data usage. As someone who pays for data by the gig, if I can't download the workout ahead of time while on wifi, premium may not be worth it for me.

I see that the developers at FitBit have been sweeping this ask under the rug for at least three years now.  When are you going to simply make a download/offline option available?

Hear hear @SSNomad!

 

I see that the developers at FitBit have been avoiding this ubiquitous ask for at least three years now.  When are they simply going to make a download/offline option available?  What's the IP leakage risk when compared to the 1000s (if not 10s of thousands) of Premium customers with this very simple straight-forward product dev ask??

Agree with all comments herein. At times I need to work away and both wifi and cellular are not always available which impacts the Fitbit Premium Experience. In todays world we need to be able to work and exercise from anywhere and at times offline which is why a downloadable options would only add value to the Premium Experience. I love the Fitbit App but most competitors now offer this feature and it will definitely be a consideration when my Premium subscription is up.

Downloadable workouts and meditations would be fantastic!  I rely on the meditations for sleep quite a bit and would love to have them stored on my phone for traveling. If there is a fear of people misusing the feature in a way that would reduce the content’s exclusivity, perhaps a limited number could be allowed per user?

Totally concur with LizzieDoll444 especially when travelling and working away as it would only add greatly to the Fitbit Premium experience.

I have the Fitbit premium annual subscription and have been using it for three years. I have recently moved and the location I use to workout now does not have Internet access. I cannot continue using this service for workouts if there is not a possibility to download the workouts and will have to cancel my subscription. I'm surprised that this still isn't a feature and would be greatly valued.

Very good idea. Some of us are walking in wooded areas with little cell reception or data availability. There is no point having premium if it doesn't work everywhere I am working out/walking.

Yes! Please make this happen. I would like to be able to access workout videos offline.
