Who Is FitOn and Why Are They Being Sued for Video Privacy?
FitOn is a digital fitness platform that lets users stream workout and wellness videos, free and paid, from its app or website. Because the whole product is built around watching videos, every play button press generates exactly the kind of viewing data the VPPA was written to protect — and that data has real value to advertisers trying to build fitness-related profiles.
What Did FitOn Do to Users Between 2022 and 2026?
Three FitOn users — Ava Hoffman, Shante Pierro, and Daniela Zamor — sued the company, alleging FitOn disclosed subscribers’ personally identifiable video-viewing information to third parties, including Meta, without getting consent first. The VPPA requires that kind of disclosure to come with separate, written permission — not something buried in general terms of service.
The complaint describes how this worked: hidden tracking technology on the platform reportedly sent data to outside companies every time a user requested or watched a video, tied to identifying details about that specific user. Related coverage: our piece on the Limited Run Games VPPA settlement covers a nearly identical Meta Pixel fact pattern from a different industry.
FitOn denies it did anything wrong. But it agreed to pay $2.5 million rather than fight the claim through trial.
Who Qualifies for the FitOn Video Privacy Settlement?
Here’s exactly how to know if this case includes you.
- U.S. residents who had an account on any FitOn video platform
- Anyone who watched or requested a pre-recorded video through that account
- Access that happened between October 22, 2022, and May 29, 2026
- Both free and paid FitOn accounts are covered — you don’t need a subscription
You do not qualify if you never had a FitOn account, or if your only interaction with FitOn happened outside the United States.
FitOn Users Outside New York — Are You Still Covered?
Yes. Even though this case is pending in New York state court, it covers U.S. residents nationwide. Where you live doesn’t affect your eligibility — only whether you meet the account and viewing criteria above.
Not sure if you qualify for the FitOn settlement? A free consultation with a data privacy attorney can help clarify your situation before the August 31 deadline.
How Much Can FitOn Settlement Class Members Get? Up to $10 Per Person
Each valid claimant can receive up to $10, pulled from the $2.5 million fund after attorneys’ fees, administration costs, and service awards are deducted. More people filing valid claims means a smaller pro rata share for everyone — this isn’t a guaranteed flat $10 no matter what.
Three class representatives can also receive service awards of up to $3,500 each, a detail worth knowing even though it doesn’t affect your own payment. Payments are expected roughly 75 days after the court grants final approval and any appeals wrap up.
Payments over $600 rarely apply here given the size of the payout, but if your total from multiple settlements adds up, a tax professional can tell you whether anything needs to be reported.
What Pro-Rata Means for Your FitOn Payment
The math is straightforward. Take what’s left of the $2.5 million after fees and costs, then split it evenly among everyone who files. If fewer people file than expected, your share could land closer to the full $10. If a lot of people file, expect less.
How to File Your FitOn Settlement Claim — Step by Step
- Go to the official site: fitonvppasettlement.com
- Enter the login ID and PIN from the settlement notice you received, or file directly if you didn’t get one but believe you qualify
- Confirm you had a FitOn account and watched a video during the class period
- No documents or proof required
- Submit and save your confirmation
- Watch your email for updates from Simpluris, the settlement administrator
Takes about 5 minutes. You have until August 31, 2026 — plenty of time, but don’t let it slip.
Should FitOn Class Members Opt Out or Object Before August 31?
What Opting Out Actually Means
Opting out means no payment from this settlement, but you keep the right to sue FitOn individually over these same allegations. Staying in the class means you release those claims whether or not you actually file for the $10 payment — so if you’re weighing a bigger individual claim, opting out is worth discussing with an attorney first. The opt-out deadline is August 31, 2026.
How to Object to the Settlement
You can stay in the class and still tell the court you disagree with its terms. Objections must be filed in writing with the New York Supreme Court, Kings County, before the same August 31 deadline, stating your specific reasons.
Talk to a consumer privacy attorney before August 31 if you’re considering either option.

FitOn Video Privacy — Frequently Asked Questions, Index No. 542301/2025
Do I need a lawyer to file a FitOn settlement claim?
No. Filing takes about five minutes online and requires no documentation.
Is the FitOn VPPA settlement legitimate?
Yes. It’s supervised by the New York Supreme Court, Kings County, and the only official site is fitonvppasettlement.com, run by Simpluris.
When will FitOn settlement payments be sent?
Not before the October 6, 2026 Final Approval Hearing. Payments follow roughly 75 days after approval, assuming no appeals delay things.
What if I missed the August 31 deadline?
You’d lose your right to a payment from this fund, though you’d still be bound by the settlement’s release unless you opted out — talk to an attorney if you’re unsure where that leaves you.
Will my FitOn payment go on a 1099?
At $10 per claim, this is unlikely to trigger tax reporting for most people, but the administrator will issue documentation if required.
Do I have to prove I watched a video on FitOn?
No. This is a no-documentation settlement — you’re confirming your eligibility, not submitting evidence.
Can I file if I only used the free version of FitOn?
Yes. Both free and paid FitOn accounts are covered as long as you watched or requested a video during the class period.
