FitnessReports is an optional subscription service that provides you deep insight into your already-available fitness data. For those of you that want to see how your fitness performance is progressing over time, spot areas for improvement, and see how you stack up against others on your RunKeeper Street Team, FitnessReports may be for you!
Click here to see FitnessReports in action on my user profile.
After several months of development and feedback from the beta crew, this service is now available! It is priced at $4.99/month USD, but we have temporarily set the annual price to $19.99 USD as a thank you to our early users. This will allow you to lock in access to the service at a significant discount, and to help shape it by providing us with valuable early feedback.
For the initial release, we are providing 3 different types of reports (Progress Reports, Analysis Reports, and Trends Reports):
Progress Reports - See how each of your fitness data types is trending over time
For example:
- how is your pace improving over time?
- how is your distance improving per activity?
- are you burning more calories per workout each month?
. . . and many more
Analysis Reports – Analyze how you perform against different criteria
For example:
- how is your pace affected by the distance of your activity?
- how does elevation affect your time or your pace?
- does your body weight affect your activity distances?
. . . and many more
Trends Reports – See how your schedule affects your performance
For example:
- do you perform more activities on the weekends or during the week?
- are you faster in the morning or the afternoon?
- do you perform more activities at the beginning of the month, or is it more evenly weighted throughout the month?
. . . and many more
Each of these FitnessReports also allows you to compare yourself to other members of your RunKeeper Street Team.
Many of you have asked for the ability to store more and more of your fitness data (i.e. heart rate data, we’ve heard you loud and clear) on RunKeeper.com. As the amount and types of data increases, the need to gain actionable intelligence from this data gains greater importance as well. FitnessReports will help you gain this insight in an easy to understand format.
We hope you like this new service, and get as excited about it as we are. We have many great improvements in the works, and can’t wait to get your thoughts as we continue to improve it. We’ve also got a bunch of new app features coming, as well as a long list of planned improvements to the free service on the web.
Stay tuned! Much more to come.

Hmm….. not sure about paying for this.
Would expect such a thing to be part of normal development, and not a premium service with an associated price.
This looks great, but I am also hesitant about paying for this. Loseit.com provides free reporting for their app. Will have to think about this.
This is fantastic! At $20/year, this is a no-brainer… Can’t wait to see what yo guys have cooked up next!
Sounds impressive! Being someone who likes to measure and record all my runs, I’ve dreamt of things like this for years.
@belfastbiker LOL – why do people not understand why things aren’t free? Believing things should be free is like believing in perpetual motion. You can delay it, you can hide it, you can shift the cost onto others, but everything still costs money. Far better to pay up front IMO. That way you are much more likely to get something that you actually value.
Put off by rolling price. Should be feature of pro app not a subscription.

I agree, this is a great application, and i am excited about the new features. I also agree that things cost money to make, upkeep, provide support for, and market. I think that the Runkeeper team is great, and has always helped me out with questions very quickly. I don’t mind paying a fairly nominal fee for something that i will get sooooo much use out of.
I would and will pay for this! RK is awesome and has really motivated me!
Great improvement and looks simple and easy to use. BUT WHAT’S THAT PRICE? 60 DOLLARS A YEAR!
You have to be kidding. Ten dollars for RunKeeper Pro vs. sixty dollars _subscription_ a year? How did you come up with that?
Of course research & development costs and users are eventually gaining from it which is the point of it all but if you try to bill it all in such a way you announced you are insulting your customers.
Even the introduction price for loyal customers at twenty bucks is DOUBLE the price they paid for the Professional app in the first place.

None of that stuff is too important to me, especially since I have a couple street crossings on my runs that throw everything off. I don’t feel the need to get in to such analysis of my workouts.
I’m waiting for some sort of equipment tracking to come to RK. How many miles do I have on my shoes? That’s a more practical report to me. I manually log all my runs on another site just for that reason. Would love to get rid of that overhead.
I agree on both side, this should be feature of pro app and I also understand that thing cost money and time to make. Maybe a life time subscription with moderate price would be fair enough for both developer and consumers.
Services cost money. That’s a fact of business. However as a consumer who HAS paid money for the app then this sort of information should b part of that app I have PAID FOR.
It’s a real shame that a) there is a subscription cost for this as the only reason the developers are able to offer this service is because of the loyalty of their followers. And b) that the cost is so out of sync with the cost of the app itself!
I completly understand the wish to generate a 2nd income stream but I feel this way forward is a result of the capital investment recently made and pressures to recoup that cost.
I hope the developers change their mind to charge PRO users of this service
I am not happy at all that this is a annual subscription to a paid app, it should of been part of premium. Other sites have it a basic set. I copy all my data to Trailguru for there reports, I guess I will just continue doing that. You could of done this so much better!!!
Hey Everyone,
Thanks for all of the feedback on our FitnessReports launch! I wanted to write with a few points of clarification:
- RunKeeper Free and RunKeeper Pro are two iPhone apps to track your fitness, the latter with a series of premium features. They are meant to emulate the functionality of a standalone GPS device like a Garmin.
- We have a free web service where you can store all of your historic activities. This service will always remain free, and will continue to be rapidly improved over time.
- FitnessReports is our first optional premium service. It is meant to give people ‘actionable intelligence’ around their fitness data so they can spot trends, identify areas to improve upon, and see how they compare against others in the RK community. What you see now is the tip of the iceberg—we are going to be rapidly iterating this service in the coming months. This is why we are giving people the option to lock in the annual subscription at such a steep discount for a limited time—to reward our early adopters for helping shape it into something great.
- FitnessReports, and the other premium services that we will launch down the road, are purely optional. They will never be required, and we know they will not appeal to everybody. Feel free to not get them, and to continue to use the free RunKeeper service as long as you like! When you see something that would be valuable, it is your option to take part, but you will always have the choice.

After looking the reports over, honestly, I find them only marginally useful for the way I run and for my goals.
That said, I’m delighted to have bought them because I’m happy for another way to help fund you guys. My initial $10 to buy RunKeeper Pro has WAY WAY WAY more than paid for itself. I’m entirely happy to throw you fine gents another 20 bones.

Not to be a stickler…but shouldn’t it be “FitnessReports ARE here,” instead of FitnessReports IS here?? Hahaha, jk!
At just over $.05/day, I’m more than glad to pay for it!
I actually paid mostly to give support to application developers.
maybe this is not the way, but I would propose in the report options, as there are averages and totals, add the best time or pace by activity, thus to have a target to achieve always there.
Regards from chile….and keep running

I’m with the others here, finally jumping on the FitnessReports bandwagon but pretty disappointed by it’s actual features. Really did it to support further development – hope it will pay off and you guys will add some cool new features!
