Our Take on Fitness Bank

The Good

  • Competitive 4.75% APY
  • Monthly fees can be waived

Considerations

  • Requires opening a checking account (bundled)
  • No physical branch access (online only)
  • Low-rated iOS app (1.7 stars)
Verdict

Fitness Bank offers a Fitness Elite Checking & Fitness Savings Combo with a competitive APY of 4.75%. This account requires you to open a checking account and has the potential for monthly fees to be waived. However, it is important to note that there is no physical branch access as this is an online-only account. Additionally, the iOS app has received low ratings (1.7 stars). While the account does not have direct deposit requirements, it is designed to encourage active participation in fitness tracking.

How to read these metrics
Trends & Velocity
Trend
The general direction of the rate over the analyzed period. Useful for spotting if a bank is currently aggressive or pulling back.
Slope (bps/mo)
Speed of change. A high positive number means they raise rates quickly. 10 bps = 0.10%.
Rate Changes / Mo
"Twitchiness." High frequency means the rate changes constantly; low frequency means it's stable.
Risk & Range
High/Low
The absolute ceiling and floor of the rate during the 311-day window.
Volatility Score
Lower is better for predictability. It indicates how wildly the rate swings relative to its average.
Days Since Change
If this number is high (e.g., >90), the rate is very sticky. If low, it changed recently.

Why track this? Understanding volatility helps you avoid "bait-and-switch" rates. A steady, rising slope is ideal; high volatility often signals a temporary teaser rate.
