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 the opening of a checking account and is bundled with savings. While there are no direct deposit requirements, users should note that monthly fees can be waived. However, the account is online-only and lacks physical branch access, and the iOS app has a low rating of 1.7 stars. Additionally, the account is tiered, meaning to earn the highest APY, you must meet specific criteria, including maintaining a $5,000 average balance and tracking 10,000 average daily steps.

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 297-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.
