How To Cancel Your Fitbit Premium Subscription

Fitbit is one of the first activity trackers that gained mainstream appeal. The device provides users with important insights into their health, sleep, and physical activity. But the Premium memberships offer more robust data that might not be useful for every Fitbit user. So, how can you cancel the premium subscription?

Fitbit provides users with a free six-month trial of Fitbit Premium when they purchase select models, so you might be ready to cancel your subscription. Or you might be considering the 90-day free trial to determine if the service is right for you. Either way, we’ll take a look at everything you need to know.

What Is Fitbit Premium?

Fitbit Premium provides users with additional features that help them stay active, sleep well, manage stress, and more. The service offers personalized insights, progressive sleep trends, and several other unique features. Some of the key features include:

• Guided programs
  
• In-depth, personalized insights
  
• Customizable challenges
  
• Video and audio workout routines
  
• Mindfulness exercises
  
• Daily readiness score

Fitbit Premium membership costs $9.99/month or $79.99/year. The features are useful but may not be worth it for every user. You can gain access to a 6- or 12-month free test of Premium membership when you purchase select Fitbit models. These free trials are a great chance to determine if the service is right for you.

How Do You Cancel Fitbit Premium?

There are several different methods you can use to cancel a Fitbit Premium membership. The method that will work for you varies depending on how you signed up in the first place.

You’ll need to use the same mechanism you signed up with to cancel your account. Here are some basic steps if you subscribed on the Fitbit desktop site:

1. Visit the official Fitbit website and log into your profile.
   
2. Tap the gear button located near the top right-hand corner of the page.
   
3. Select ‘Settings.’
   
4. Locate the Subscriptions and Payments tab.
   
5. Select ‘Edit‘ and cancel the Fitbit Premium membership.

Note: If your account is still in trial mode, you can’t unsubscribe from the Fitbit Premium membership on the desktop site. You will have to disable your membership through your device’s app store.

You’ll know if you’re in trial mode if the section appears in an orange tab.

Does Fitbit Offer a Free Trial?

Fitbit does offer a free trial of Premium memberships. The free trial lasts 90 days and is available for customers on the Fitbit app. You’ll need to provide payment details upon signing up, so be sure to cancel your free trial before it ends to avoid unnecessary fees.

You can find more about the Fitbit Premium free trial on the official Fitbit site.

You can also redeem a six-month free trial if you buy a Fitbit Sense, Fitbit Luxe, or Fitbit Charge 5 (all on Amazon). If you purchased a Fitbit Inspire 2 (also on Amazon), you could redeem a 12-month free test of Fitbit Premium.

How Much Does Fitbit Premium Cost?

Fitbit Premium costs around $10 a month and $80 if you purchase a yearly subscription. Fitbit also offers a 90-day free trial if you have the Fitbit app. This is ample time to get used to the service and check whether the paid service is worth it. 

You will automatically get a Fitbit Premium subscription if you purchase a Fitbit Coach subscription. However, if you only want to use Fitbit Coach, you’ll have to pay around $40 a year or $8 per month. While Fitbit hasn’t increased its prices in a while, it’s best to check their site as they may at any time. 

What Are the Benefits of Fitbit Premium?

Fitbit Premium can be beneficial if you want to personalize your workout regime. With Fitbit Premium, you’ll get sleep tools, personalized workout plans, and access to the health metrics dashboard.

These features can help you overcome challenges in your workouts and develop workouts based on your body’s dynamics. 

You can also use the challenges and games to stay motivated in completing your workout goals. If you don’t have a personal trainer or coach, Fitbit can be an effective substitute. 

Can You Re-Sign Up for Fitbit Premium After Canceling?

You can re-sign up for Fitbit Premium by logging into your Fitbit account on the Fitbit website or through the Fitbit app on your smartphone. Signing up through the Fitbit website is preferred as managing your account and subscriptions is much easier. 

To re-sign up for Fitbit Premium on your phone:

1. Go onto the Fitbit app and click on the Premium arrow at the bottom of the screen.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to re-activate your membership. 

It’s important to note that once you cancel the Fitbit Premium membership, you won’t get a free trial when re-signing.
