This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a fitness tracker (Fitbit) combined with personalized health coaching helps people with excess belly fat improve their physical activity, sleep, and heart health markers. You'd be randomly assigned to one of three groups: continue your normal routine, use a fitness tracker on your own, or use a fitness tracker with structured coaching from a trained health coach. The study follows you for one year to see which approach works best.
Many adults with excess belly fat have higher risk of heart disease and diabetes, but it's unclear whether fitness trackers alone—or fitness trackers paired with coaching—can motivate people to move more and improve their health. This trial aims to find out what combination works best.

If you enroll, you'll be randomly assigned to one of three groups for 12 months. In the control group, you'll simply continue your normal daily life. In the fitness tracker group, you'll receive a Fitbit device and use its features to set activity and sleep goals, receive activity reminders, and connect with a community. In the fitness tracker plus coaching group, you'll get the Fitbit device plus regular sessions with a health coach who will help you develop personalized strategies to move more and sleep better, based on an evidence-based diabetes prevention program. Throughout the year, researchers will track your movement, sleep, and heart health markers.
