More Weight Lifting or Training Programs on Premium

[SunsetRunner]

I would love to see weight lifting programs in the Fitbit Coach...you have lots of great cardio programs that work with my level, I would love a program that works with free weights to help start light and allows you work your way up too.

Science, not so recently, says that weight lifting is very important for all, namely to elder population, alongside with cardiac and hiit style workouts, yoga and other relax techniques. Why Fitbit (Coach) does not add weight workouts, that are asked by us for at least 2 years from now? Science is different from ideology and dogmas. If you can't do it, others have done it already, and the 5 star appreciation we have of Fitbit can be forgotten when the hour to choose a new device arrives.

Love the body weight exercises but it would be great if you could add exercises using free weights or weight equipments.

Thanks,

Hi @GKNJ, thanks for explaining why you would like to have this option on Premium. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has been updated as "Under Consideration". You can learn more about here. Keep adding your suggestions!

Great! Thanks 😊

please add weightlifting (dumbbell, bar, machines, etc..) workouts in the premium coach app!   Even better, allow us to share workouts with others in the community

I agree, Fitbit needs to add this feature in order to stay competitive.

Yes, would love to see workouts that use at least free weights but also bands. Going to drop fitbit coach and stick with fitbod. From this set of comments, looks like fitbit has been saying this is under consideration for over 2 years. Sounds like they really aren't going to do it and are just trying to hold onto our subscriptions. Should just be honest and say whether they really aren't going in that direction.

I would love for the workouts to be longer, more challenging and including weights or equipment.
