Your health and fitness journey can feel like a puzzle, and the Fitbit app helps you piece it together – planning your exercise routine, tracking your progress, and keeping you motivated with customizable, data-driven features. And when you’re ready to take your fitness to the next level, Fitbit Premium will give you advanced health insights, analyzing your sleep and stress management, plus providing exclusive workout content.

It’s easier than ever to get started with the Fitbit app. Whether you’re using a Fitbit tracker like Charge 6 or a smartwatch like the Pixel Watch 3, you’re ready to maximize your health journey. While pairing the app with a wearable device unlocks its full potential, you can also take advantage of many of its features on your compatible smartphone. 

Make your health and fitness goals a reality with some of the best Fitbit app features and hidden gems.

Visualize your fitness journey in the Today tab, where you can see your most important stats, like sleep quality and stress levels, at a glance. 

Start your morning strong by checking your Daily Readiness Score, which tells you whether to prioritize workouts or recovery based on your body’s activity, sleep, and heart rate. Stay on top of your weekly recommended cardio with Active Zone Minutes – and if you’re using a Pixel Watch, with Cardio Load – and keep an eye on your step count, all in one place. If you’re using a compatible tracker or watch, you’ll get an even more detailed picture of your health, with real-time stats, heart rate data, and more.

Tracking your workouts and results is simple with the Fitbit app. Easy-to-read charts in the Today tab help you visualize your progress over time. And with the Exercise Tracking button, you can quickly and manually log new exercise stats – and other data, like sleep and water intake – from wherever you are in the app.

Discover a workout that works for you with the Coach tab. Curated collections help you find different ways to move – like HIIT or dance cardio classes – that suit your fitness level. And, after your workout is finished, you’ll also find guidance for rest and recovery.

If you’re looking for inspiration or to take your fitness to the next level, unlock world-class workouts with Fitbit Premium – including classes from top brands like Peloton and Pure Barre, plus mindfulness sessions to support your well-being. It's the extra support you need to achieve your goals.

Your health journey is easier when it’s a team effort. Celebrate achievements, stay in touch with friends and family, and customize your fitness plans in the You tab. Set goals for sleep, fitness, and more, and mark your progress with achievement badges when you reach a new milestone. Then, share your successes and support your friends in the Community feed. 

1. Integrate Fitbit with other apps. If you’re an Android user, try Health Connect to link Fitbit with apps like Strava, MyFitnessPal, Peloton, and Oura so you can track all your stats in one place.

2. Customize your Today tab. See the metrics that matter most with just a quick look. From the Today tab, tap the pencil icon. Choose your focus metrics, and show and hide other metrics. Tap Save and you’re set.

5. Set measurable, achievable goals. Staying motivated relies on seeing progress. You can start by setting realistic milestones. On the You tab, scroll down to Goals, and select See all.
