Get discounts on Fitbit devices — just in time for holiday shopping

Written by 

fitbitUAB employees may purchase Fitbit personal fitness tracking devices at a discounted rate through a partnership between The University of Alabama System and Fitbit.

Preferred pricing on all Fitbit devices is available through the UA System online storefront at www.fitbit.com/welcome/UASYSTEM. At the prompt, enter the discount code, which is the word “blazer” followed by your BlazerID (e.g., blazersmith123) and make a selection.

Discounts can range from $19-$72. For example, the small Fitbit Zip armband, which normally retails for around $60, is available to system employees for $40. The watch-like Surge band, which retails for about $250, can be bought through the online storefront for $177.

“No matter if an employee feels like an avid exerciser or a couch potato, wearing a Fitbit is a great way to track how much you actually move,” said Anna Threadcraft, director of UAB Employee Wellness. “I am so pleased to support a unique way for employees to engage in their health and track success, one step at a time.”
