New Fitbit Premium content and features help
users around the world manage activity, stress, sleep and nutrition
from home
Fitbit (NYSE:FIT) today announced that Fitbit Premium, its paid
membership service that gives you guidance to help you move more,
manage stress, sleep better and eat well, has reached more than
500,000 paid subscribers in less than a year since launch. For
those looking for extra support, Fitbit Premium provides even
greater value to what it means to be “on Fitbit” by delivering more
in-depth data, personalized and actionable insights, hundreds of
workouts, motivating games and challenges, advanced sleep tools and
wellness reports -- all in the Fitbit app. Fitbit Premium will also
be expanding to include seven additional languages later this year,
increasing the potential for even more Fitbit users around the
world to benefit. The offerings and content available with Premium
will continue to grow and evolve as the service expands.
“The launch of Fitbit Premium is part of our broader strategy to
diversify our business beyond hardware, while also delivering on
our promise to provide more personalized experiences, data and
insights to our users to help them move more, manage stress, sleep
better and eat well,” said James Park, co-founder and CEO of
Fitbit. “COVID-19 has made it incredibly difficult for people to
stay active and healthy, and underscores the importance of
prioritizing both our physical and mental health. In these
extraordinary times we are supporting our users by helping them
navigate these challenges so they have the tools, motivation and
support to help them stay healthy and fit at home with services
like Fitbit Premium.”
Following the emergence of COVID-19 and subsequent
shelter-in-place mandates, Fitbit announced a 90-day free trial of
Premium for new users and saw increased interest in the service, as
users throughout the world sought more insight on how to better
manage their health and wellness from home.
Fitbit Premium continues to add new content and features to
support users during this challenging environment. Premium connects
the dots between how key health metrics like sleep, activity, and
nutrition are related and how they can impact your overall
well-being. In the first two weeks after joining, Premium users
took an average of 700 more steps per day.1 Members have access to
all of the following, which provide added value when paired with a
Fitbit device:
- Engaging health and fitness
content: Hundreds of audio and video workouts to try
including dance cardio, HIIT, yoga and more from popular brands
like Aaptiv, barre3, Daily Burn, Down Dog, obé, Physique 57,
POPSUGAR and Yoga Studio by Gaiam, as well as celebrities, trainers
and influencers like Ayesha Curry, Charlee Atkins and Harley
Pasternak.
- Ayesha Curry’s Premium Summer: Recently added new exclusive
content from the New York Times bestselling author, chef,
restaurateur and fitness enthusiast, focused on her passions: food
and fitness. Six original videos feature quick and effective
workouts, delicious and nutritious meals, and family-friendly
activities.
- #FitAtHome: Join Le Sweat TV Founder Charlee Atkins and
celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak for full-body sessions that keep
you active and help you reach your goals from the comfort of your
own home.
- Practice mindfulness: Over 100
mindfulness practice sessions help you manage stress, improve
focus, relax, improve body positivity or unwind before bed,
including sessions from Aura, Breethe and Ten Percent Happier.
- Deeper sleep analysis: Deeper
analysis of your free daily Sleep Score, with a breakdown of your
score and graphs to show how it’s calculated based on time asleep,
deep and REM sleep stages and restoration, plus audio relaxation
tools.
- Personalized and cross-correlated
insights: Guidance and feedback based specifically on your
data to help you make smarter choices about your health; for
example, “Yesterday you earned 35 active minutes—more than your
usual 20 minutes. You also slept 25 minutes more than your average
6 hours and 45 minutes. Move more, snooze more!”
- Guided programs: A variety of
custom programs to help you achieve your health and fitness goals
-- from nutrition programs like “Eat to Beat Cholesterol,” to
increasing activity with “Get Active” and “Run Training,” to
improving sleep with “Get More Sleep.”
- Premium games and challenges:
Connect with friends and family on exclusive challenges, like Get
Fit Bingo or even create a custom challenge, for more
motivation.
- Wellness report: An easy-to-read
overview of your health data, including stats and charts about
heart health, weight, sleep and activity that can be used to
facilitate conversations with your healthcare providers.
