Comparing the Free Fitbit with Premium
Fitbit Premium is an advanced version of the free Fitbit app.
It comes with many cool features but is not available for everyone who uses Fitbit.
I support the subscription plan because it has all the features offered by Fitbit Free + new exciting features to help me keep fit and healthy.
Features You Access When You Subscribe to Fitbit Premium
The plan offers Sleep tools, Guided programs, Advance Insights, Workouts, Health Metrics Dashboard, and Challenges.
You also get access to the one-on-one live coaching feature but you pay an additional amount. Let’s briefly discuss everything offered by the plan below:
1. Sleep Tools
Sleep Tools help you understand your sleep pattern and sleeping behavior. With the tool, you find ways to improve your sleep for good.
2. Guided Programs
Guided Programs are supposed to help you eat healthy, sleep silently, eat better, and stay active.
Every program has reminders and check-ins for accountability and they will run for a limited time say, a few weeks.
In Guided Programs daily tips and tricks, relaxation tools, coaching, educational content, structured workout plans, and recipe suggestions are at your disposal.
You also get to improve your sleeping and nutritional habits with the help of the 15 systematic programs within weeks!
3. Workouts
The subscription offers over 200 audio and video workouts. Examples of workouts you’ll get on Fitbit Premium include Yoga, Beginner Bodyweight, Introduction to HIIT, Get Moving, Push Up Prep, and Core Crush, among others.
4. Advanced Insights
Fitbit Premium gives access to advanced insights that provide information mirroring your health and fitness activities.
5. Challenges
An ordinary Fitbit account has access to challenges but they are not as many as those on Fitbit Premium are.
Challenges let you choose metrics and compete with friends. A good example is Get Fit Bingo, in which users compete using Bingo Cards.
6. Mindfulness Activities
With a Fitbit Premium Account, you will find mind-relieving activities that positively affect sleep, reduce stress, and keep you positive.
7. Heath Metrics Dashboard
On the Health Metric Dashboard, subscribers can access their Resting Heart Rate (RHR), Heart Rate (HR), Heart Rate variability (HRV), Skin Temperature, and SpO2.
Standard users can only access daily sleep, nutrition, weight, and activities. They can’t access the Health Metric Dashboard for in-depth health data and analysis.
8. Health Coaching
We also have Health Coaching, which is the best feature offered in the plan at an extra cost.
When you pay for the feature, you get one-on-one guidance from real coaches to help achieve your fitness goals. You can even message your coaches directly for health and fitness-related inquiries.

Is the Fitbit Premium Membership Plan Worth It?
There is much on Fitbit premium and your health goals determine whether to go or not to go for the subscription.
If you want to monitor steps and active minutes stick to the standard Fitbit app.
On the other hand, if you wish to build better habits, cut weight, and get in-depth insights about your health then Fitbit Premium is worth paying for. To access the plan, go in-app purchase in the Fitbit app.
