Fitstar by Fitbit is a new paid app on iOS, Android or via a browser to harness the data collected by you Fitbit. The app costs A$12.99 a month and there are in-app purchase options.
Fitstar by Fitbit helps Fitbit users set and achieve your fitness goals through an enhanced personalised and guided workout journey. More robust guidance and coaching will help you work out smarter and get the most out of the Fitbit ecosystem. Plus, it has new “human” trainers to choose from, an expanded library of exercises, customisable music, and a refreshed look to provide greater inspiration.
The app uses your own feedback to ensure each routine is built to match your fitness level, and personalised to your strength and stamina. It features four comprehensive exercise programs with hundreds of moves, as well as dozens of Freestyle sessions such as “10-Minute Abs” and “Traveller 10,” which are a great way to mix up fitness routines and see real results. Fitstar data proves the effectiveness of these workouts; 85% who use Fitstar Personal Trainer for at least five sessions report an increase in strength.
Mike Maser, Co-Founder and VP of Fitstar by Fitbit, said, “Since joining the Fitbit family in 2014, we’ve known the marriage of wearables and our dynamic video workouts would lead to more effective and relevant fitness programs. The redesigned Fitstar Personal Trainer app takes the next step in realising this vision.”
