Do I actually need this fitness subscription?
Use this framework to evaluate whether Fitbit Premium is worth keeping.
Using it 3+ times per week consistently
Keep it — regular use means strong value. Check for annual plan savings.
Using it 1–2 times per week
Calculate cost-per-session. At $30/mo and 6 uses, that's $5/session — compare to alternatives like free YouTube workouts or a cheaper app.
Signed up in January but usage dropped off
Cancel now. The 'I'll start again' trap costs the average person $200+/year. You can always resubscribe when motivation returns.
Paying for both an app AND a gym membership
Pick one. If your gym has on-demand classes, you likely don't need a separate app. If you work out at home, you likely don't need the gym.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Fitbit Premium worth paying for?
At $10.99/month, Fitbit Premium is worth it if you use it at least 3-4 times per week. Compare the cost to a gym membership ($30-60/month) or personal training ($50-150/session). If you exercise less than twice a week, the free tier or YouTube workouts may be sufficient.
How can I lower my Fitbit Premium cost?
Switch to annual billing for 30-50% savings, check if your health insurance covers fitness app subscriptions through wellness programs, look for student discounts, and consider whether the free tier meets your basic needs.
What are free alternatives to Fitbit Premium?
Free fitness alternatives include YouTube workout channels (Fitness Blender, POPSUGAR), Nike Training Club free tier, Apple Fitness+ (included with Apple Watch), and free meditation apps like Insight Timer. Many fitness apps also offer generous free tiers with basic workout libraries.
How do I cancel Fitbit Premium?
Cancel through your account settings on the Fitbit Premium website or app. If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, you'll need to cancel through your device's subscription settings instead. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.
