Video games are better on a big screen, and so are guided workouts! And now that the Fitbit Coach personalized training app is available in Microsoft Store to download for Windows 10 and Xbox, getting (and staying) fit is more doable than ever.
What You’ll Need
- Fitbit Coach app for Xbox. Basic (free) members receive access to one personalized program and a selection of additional audio and video workouts. You must have a Fitbit Coach Premium subscription ($39.99 per year) to unlock more programs, unlimited workouts, and additional features, like those mentioned below.
- Microsoft Xbox One console (One, One S, One X) or a Windows 10 PC, such as Surface Laptop or Surface Pro
- A desire to get fit, lose weight, or build muscle (hello, New-Year’s-resolution setters!)
What You’ll Want
- A Fitbit tracker or smartwatch with continuous heart rate. Although you can complete Fitbit Coach workouts without wearing a PurePulse-enabled Fitbit device, having one will greatly enhance your experience (see below).
What You’ll Get
If you’re already using a Fitbit device and Fitbit Coach to work out, you’ll be treated to the same great experience on Xbox with one additional perk:
The ability to see your heart rate in real time on your TV. Knowing your heart rate and which heart rate zone you’re in will help you optimize your intensity and help Fitbit better measure your calorie burn. For help setting up the live-heart-rate-tracking feature, see Can I view live heart rate data in the Fitbit Coach app?
If you’re new to Fitbit Coach, here’s what you can expect:
- Video workouts—like Warm It Up and 10-Minute Abs—that show you the exercises and provide step-by-step coaching, motivation, and tips. Most workouts are dynamic and evolve based on your plans, goals, and feedback. New workouts are added regularly to keep things fresh.
- Customizable music via Fitbit Radio powered by Feed.fm, which offers a variety of stations, from pop to hip-hop, so you can choose what motivates you.
- Recommended Workouts based on your daily activity (if you use a Fitbit device), providing personalized fitness guidance to better help you reach your goals.
- More than 50 expert-designed running and walking audio workouts in the Fitbit Coach mobile app designed to help you safely improve your endurance, speed, and form. Choose from outdoor or treadmill sessions and select the difficulty, duration, trainer, and music.
And that’s not all. Check out even more ways Fitbit Coach on Xbox can help you achieve your health goals.

This looks like a great replacement for the Xbox Fitness app that went offline a while ago. Shame that this doesn’t have Kinect support.
Microsoft Store app states that “Fitbit Coach is currently not available” in Norway… 🙁
awesome. that was probably my number 1 complaint about fitbit coach. that using it on the phone made no sense to me and that you could fill the void that Xbox Fitness left when it went away. And here it is. thanks!
I was so sad when XBox Fitness was cancelled. I don’t really like using tables or phones for a workout. I feel a TV screen immersed me in it and it feels more like a group as opposed to squinting to see if I’m doing the right moves. I’m very excited for this.
I’m more than happy to discover this site. I need to to thank
you for ones time for this particularly wonderful read!! I definitely liked every bit of it and i also have you saved as
a favorite to see new stuff in your blog.
I have a Surge (pulse heart rate). When I choice the option to track my heart rate the Xbox One app tells me it is searching for “Windows compatible devices”. This makes no sense. Shouldn’t the Surge work?
How about more devices like Playstation, Roku, Apple TV or make the phone app able to cast
