Who Is FitOn and Why Are They Being Sued for a Video Privacy Violation?
FitOn is a free fitness app that streams workout videos to millions of U.S. users through a linked account. Because the app tracks exactly which videos you open, pause, and finish, it collects the kind of viewing data Congress specifically protected back in 1988. The lawsuit claims FitOn passed that viewing data — tied to your identity — to third parties, including Meta, without asking first.
What Did FitOn Do to Subscribers Between October 2022 and May 2026?
The class action, Ava Hoffman et al. v. FitOn, Inc., was filed on behalf of three named plaintiffs — Ava Hoffman, Shante Pierro, and Daniela Zamor — in the New York Supreme Court for Kings County. The suit claims FitOn disclosed subscribers’ personally identifiable information to third parties without consent, violating a federal law that limits how video providers can share what a person requests or watches.
That’s not a small technical rule. The VPPA lets people sue directly, without proving they lost money — simply having your viewing history shared without consent is enough. FitOn hasn’t admitted wrongdoing. The company denies it violated any law but agreed to settle rather than keep fighting the case.
The attorneys taking one-third of the $2.5 million fund haven’t filed their final fee request yet — that happens by August 14, 2026. The three named plaintiffs are asking for up to $3,500 each as a thank-you for bringing the case. Worth knowing before you decide whether $10 is worth five minutes of your time.
Are You Part of the FitOn Video Privacy Settlement?
Here’s exactly how to know if this case includes you.
- U.S. residents who held a FitOn account any time between October 22, 2022, and May 29, 2026
- Anyone who watched or downloaded even one pre-recorded video on a FitOn video platform during that window
- People who never received a mailed or emailed notice — you don’t need one to qualify
- Those who linked FitOn to Facebook or another social account, since that’s where the data-sharing claim centers
- Not included: anyone who never created a FitOn account, or who only used the app before October 22, 2022

FitOn Users Outside New York — Are You Still Covered?
Yes. This is a nationwide settlement class. The case was filed in a New York state court, but the class covers every eligible person in the United States, regardless of what state you live in.
Not sure if you qualify for the FitOn video privacy settlement? A free consultation with a data privacy attorney can help you weigh your options before the August 31, 2026 deadline — especially if you’re deciding between filing a claim and opting out to keep your own legal claim alive.
How Much Can FitOn Video Privacy Settlement Class Members Get? Up to $10 Per Person
Each valid claim is worth $10.00. There’s no tier for “proof” versus “no proof” here — everyone who qualifies and files gets the same flat amount, cut equally if more people file than the fund can cover. More filers means smaller checks for everyone; fewer filers means your $10 is safe.
You’ll get a check by mail unless you choose PayPal or Venmo on the claim form. Payments over $600 may appear on a 1099 — check with a tax professional, though a single $10 payment won’t trigger that on its own.
Class Counsel can ask for up to one-third of the $2.5 million fund, or roughly $833,333, plus costs. That gets decided by the court, not automatically approved. That’s normal in settlements this size, and it doesn’t change what you’re owed.
How to File Your FitOn Video Privacy Settlement Claim — Step by Step
- Go to FitOnVPPASettlement.com, the official claim site
- Enter the Login ID and PIN from your settlement notice, if you received one online
- No login ID? Download the printable claim form from the same site instead
- Choose PayPal, Venmo, or mailed check for your payment method
- Submit and save your confirmation
- Watch your email or mailbox — the administrator will reach out if anything’s missing
Filing takes about five minutes. The claim deadline is August 31, 2026, more than a month away as of this writing — plenty of time, but don’t let it slip past you.
Should FitOn Class Members Opt Out or Object Before August 31, 2026?
What Opting Out of the FitOn Settlement Actually Means
Opting out means you get no payment from this settlement, but you keep your own right to sue FitOn separately over the same claims. Most people are better off staying in and filing a claim, but if you believe you suffered real, individual harm, this is worth a real conversation first. The opt-out deadline is August 31, 2026 — the same date as the claim deadline.
How to Object to the FitOn Settlement
If you disagree with any part of the deal — the payout amount, the attorneys’ fees, or anything else — you can stay in the class and object instead. You’d mail a letter to the Settlement Administrator explaining your reasons and stating whether you plan to speak at the October 6, 2026 hearing in Kings County.
Talk to a class action lawsuit attorney before August 31, 2026, if you’re weighing either option — both are one-time choices you can’t undo later.

FitOn Video Privacy Settlement — Frequently Asked Questions, No. 542301/2025
Do I need a lawyer to file a FitOn settlement claim?
No. Filing is free through the official site or by mail, and the class action lawsuit attorney representing everyone, Bursor & Fisher, P.A., is already paid from the settlement fund — not by you.
Is the FitOn video privacy settlement legitimate?
Yes. It comes from a real class action lawsuit eligibility case before the New York Supreme Court for Kings County, Index No. 542301/2025, with a court-appointed administrator processing claims — not a third-party scam email.
When will FitOn settlement payments be sent?
Only after the October 6, 2026 final approval hearing, and only once any appeals are resolved. That can take a few months, sometimes longer.
What if I missed the FitOn claim deadline?
There’s no late-filing option here. Miss August 31, 2026, and you give up the $10 payment, though you’re still bound by the settlement unless you’d separately excluded yourself in time.
Will my FitOn settlement payment go on a 1099?
A single $10 payment is unlikely to trigger 1099 reporting, but the notice itself flags that payments over $600 may appear on one. Check with a tax professional if you’re unsure.
How do I file a FitOn settlement claim without a login ID or PIN?
Download the printable claim form directly from FitOnVPPASettlement.com and mail it to the Settlement Administrator at the address on the form — no online account needed.
Why is FitOn’s video privacy settlement based on a 1988 law?
The Video Privacy Protection Act was written for video rental stores, but courts have consistently applied it to apps and streaming platforms that track what you watch and share that data without consent.
Is FitOn the only fitness app facing a VPPA claim like this?
No. FitOn joins a growing list of fitness and streaming platforms settling video privacy claims tied to third-party tracking pixels — a pattern worth watching if you use more than one app that streams video.
