Fitbit announced its redesigned Android and iOS app with Material You last week. Ahead of that fall launch, in-progress Fitbit Guided Programs are going away, but the functionality will be present in Coach.
Today, you can find Guided Programs that last one to three weeks in the Discover tab. The full list includes:
| Get Active | Full-Body Strong |
| Push-Up Prep | Eat to Beat Cholesterol |
| Habits for Restful Sleep | Kick Your Salt Habit |
| Intro to Healthy Habits | Beginner Bodyweight |
| Run Training | Qualified Self |
| Get More Sleep | Understand Calories |
| Mindful eating | Intro to HIIT |
| Beginner Running | Tone & Lift Your Butt |
| Kick Your Sugar Habit |
In an email today, Fitbit says “Guided Programs will be removed on September 19, 2023,” and that users can export or delete data before then. This is framed as getting ready for the new app, which will offer “most of the workouts and mindfulness sessions from Guided Programs.” It comes as Google removed Fitbit Challenges and open groups earlier this year.
The takeaway is that your current Guided Programs progress will not be transferred over to the new Fitbit app. You can complete any current Guided Programs until the deadline, which should be enough time to wrap things up, but maybe not start a new one after.
It does suggest that the new Fitbit app could be available by September 19 to avoid any availability gap.
Fitbit today notes how the new Coach tab will let you “explore new workout and mindfulness content, browse curated collections, filter by workout type & more.”
