If you already use a Fitbit fitness tracker and the Fitbit app, you know how valuable they can be on your fitness journey. You can take it one step further by subscribing to Fitbit Premium, a service that will give you access to additional features tailored to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A paid subscription to Fitbit Premium costs around $10\/month and unlocks guided programs, workout challenges, and guided meditations<\/a>. It also provides detailed breakdowns of your sleep habits and stress levels along with deep insights into other health metrics. We\u2019ll look at what you get with Fitbit Premium so you can decide if it\u2019s worth signing up for this subscription service.<\/p>\n\n\n

What Is Fitbit Premium?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fitbit Premium\u2019s value proposition is that when it comes to health and fitness, you\u2019ll achieve more if you know more. That\u2019s what self-improvement<\/a> is all about. Since all the aspects of a person\u2019s wellness are interconnected, by tracking more aspects of your health for longer periods of time, you\u2019ll be able to see trends. Then you can use that knowledge to become a \u201chealthier, stronger you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

It stands to reason\u2014your stress levels affect your sleep quality, and both are affected by your nutrition and how active you are. If you have more data about all those things and can start to see how one affects the other, you\u2019ll be better positioned to improve your overall health and wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Does Fitbit Premium Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A membership to Fitbit Premium costs $9.99\/month or $79.99\/year. Currently, Fitbit is offering a free 90-day trial, which is a great way to give the service a trial run and see if you like it enough to pay for it. If you think you\u2019re going to want to continue using Fitbit Premium over the long run, the yearly subscription is clearly the better value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several Fitbit trackers come with even longer free trial periods. For example, the Fitbit Inspire 2, available on Amazon, comes with a full year of Fitbit Premium, and the Fitbit Sense smartwatch comes with a six-month Fitbit Premium membership. <\/p>\n\n\n

Moreover, several Fitbit devices including the Fitbit Luxe, the Fitbit Versa, Versa 2, Versa 3, and the Fitbit Charge 5, offer a bundle package where you can get a full year of Premium plus a two-year protection plan for your device for under $40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do sign up for any kind of free trial, Fitbit will still ask you to enter a credit card number, so if you don\u2019t want to move to a paid plan, don\u2019t forget to cancel before the trial is over or you\u2019ll be charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also note that Fitbit doesn\u2019t give refunds on subscriptions, so if you go for the annual subscription, you should be sure you want it. If you do end up canceling the monthly or annual subscription, you\u2019ll still be able to use the service until the end of the subscription period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Cancel Your Fitbit Premium Membership<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While subscribing is easy, canceling your Fitbit Premium subscription is a little less straightforward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are multiple reasons why Fitbit users might want to cancel Fitbit Premium. One of the most common reasons for canceling is to take advantage of a Fitbit Premium offer that came with a new Fitbit you purchased or received as a gift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you already have a Premium subscription and you get a new tracker that includes a Premium subscription or free trial, you\u2019ll need to cancel your existing subscription before you can take advantage of the free one. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"How<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

If you purchased Fitbit Premium via the Fitbit app, navigate to the Today<\/strong> tab in the Android or iPhone app. Then tap your user icon and select Account Settings <\/strong>> Manage Subscriptions<\/strong>. You should see Fitbit Premium listed. Tap it and then select the Cancel subscription<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

What You Get with Fitbit\u2019s Free App vs. Fitbit Premium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You already know that when you use a wearable Fitbit tracker, Fitbit\u2019s free app for Android and Apple devices displays health and fitness stats that help you track your activity levels, weight, nutrition, and sleep. The free app also gives you access to a variety of introductory workouts and mindfulness sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
