Personalized Video Fitness App Now Available in
French, German, Spanish and Portuguese
Today, Fitbit released localized versions of its award-winning
fitness app, FitStar Personal Trainer, in French, German, Spanish
and Portuguese, making it even easier for users around the world to
reach their fitness goals. FitStar™ is one of the largest platforms
for delivering personalized video-based exercise experiences on
mobile devices. Each workout is fully customized to a person’s
fitness level. By tailoring the intensity and difficulty of each
move, the workouts evolve as the user progresses. This is the first
time the popular exercise app, offered globally in English since
2013, is available in other languages. FitStar Personal Trainer
will also be available in Chinese soon.
The app’s customized and handcrafted video workouts led by
American football legend, Tony Gonzalez, will feature voiceover and
on-screen text in each local language, offering a more personal and
natural way to get fit. When paired with the Fitbit® platform,
FitStar provides a holistic fitness experience, in which users can
track their daily activity with leading Fitbit devices, while also
accessing a tailored FitStar exercise program designed specifically
for their fitness levels.
“Our goal is to help individuals lead healthier lives by making
Fitbit’s FitStar Personal Trainer as accessible and effective to as
many people as possible,” said Mike Maser, Co-Founder of FitStar at
Fitbit. “We recently released FitStar Personal Trainer on Android,
introducing the app to an entirely new audience. Now, we are
further expanding to create a fitness experience that is more
personalized for our global users.”
Acquired by Fitbit last year, FitStar Personal Trainer offers
two personalized sessions a week and more than a dozen stand-alone
Freestyle sessions such as “7 Minute Workout” and “The FitStar 15”
for free. For $7.99USD per month or $39.99USD per year, people can
access unlimited customized workouts across four goal-based
programs: Get Strong, Get Lean, Get Moving and Daily Dose, as well
as 35+ Freestyle sessions.
FitStar Personal Trainer is available across the web, on iOS
devices including iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple Watch, and
Android mobile phones. The app can be downloaded for free on the
App Store and Google Play, as well as accessed on the web. For more
