    Thank you for a video that clarifies exactly what is available without iFit. I'm not going to shell out big bucks for a machine that doesn't have several basic programs without iFit. Manual control is nice, but I prefer a variety of pre-programmed workouts without paying through the nose.

      @@Learnwithtravis I'm not advocating iFit. I'm pretty disappointed with their content for cyclists. But I'm on a monthly membership and it's only $10 a month. So the price isn't terrible. They just don't seem to care about cycling anymore.

    The problem is ifit is quite a bit overpriced. Watching a bunch of pre-recorded content of people jogging in places, even more exotic places, shouldn't cost more than a Netflix monthly subscription. Netflix pays 100s of millions of dollars for some TV series. Doubt ifit pays that much for a years worth of trainer videos.

    Thank you for posting. My Manual Start button disappeared after the last software update. I paused the update for "Later" but, during my workout, the machine stopped and did the update anyway. I had to do a factory reset to get the Manual Start back again, but I think this will only be temporary until they force the update on me again.
    My machine will NOT operate unless I connect to wifi.

    If you are out there ready to buy a over 2k Nordic treadmill with I fit …DONT. Once your subscription ends , it’s just the same as the 300 dollar treadmill out there. Manual ride or pay. What a waste of money

There should be a way to connect to youtube and watch any exercise video or walking video or even have a usb flashdrive to watch something off that.

A second e-mail a week or so later off ifit offering to sell me some brand new kit.So be prepared for that to happen to you in a few years, when they need some more money they'll just pull support for your kit and expect you too buy new.

    Hello, I had purchased a s22 on the proform site . It came damaged with a smoker smell and a white substance on the handlebars . The box was ripped open before I received it. They wanted to charge me $250 and a 10% restocking fee for me to send a broken bike back. I spent 3 weeks pleading for them to get me a refund without all the fees because of the damaged bike they sent but the best they could do was a replacement.
    That came a few days later with another damaged box and the same smell and substance on the handle bar. I sent that bike back because it was the same issue . Asked to be able to send the original bike back but once again they wanted to charge me the $250 plus 10% restocking fee.
    I tried in good faith to work it out but they just blew me off.
    I have read other reports and reviews of this happening .
    If you are one of those people please respond to my comment . I am reaching out to the consumer protection agency and the ftc but will need a lot more support than just myself . Only if you had a similar issue . Such as receiving a damaged bike and stuck with the bill.

    Wow my hate for iFit/Nordictrack is palpable!!! They TRIPLED the iFit subscription price in the spring of 2024! My S22i bike is now an over priced dumb trainer or held hostage by nearly a $400/year membership. The hardware is poor and mine has already had two control board failures, which is a known issue. Good luck calling support and plan on 45mins. No wonder iFit/Nordicatrack has a class action lawsuit against them. Folks if you want to ride indoors then here's what you can do. For the price of one of these Nordictrack bikes you can buy an inexpensive gravel, road or mountain bike and buy a Smart Trainer that it mounts to. Then you can use Zwift, Rouvy, MyWoosh etc for a fraction of the cost. You won't be tied to one proprietary system like iFit that rips you off. I wish I knew about SmartTrainers and bikes in 2020 or I never would have bought a Nordictrack. Now you know and have been warned.

You need to call iFIT and have them activate your one year subscription. I tried to activate on their website but it had by subscription as not valid. Trying to talk to the iFIT computer bot was absolutely useless, don't understand my questions or what speak to a life agent mean. Had to phone and on hold for almost 2 hours. Then had the go around in circles before my one year subscription was accepted. Expect to waste half of a working day, good luck.

    ifit is pretty much a bait that makes you want to use their content for using YOUR equipment that YOU pair good money for.
    I had a year subscription, allowed it to expire.
    I go to web mode and watch TH-cam vidros and manually control the incline and resistance...like you do on manual mode, EXCEPT you can wstch a video created by many others on TH-cam for free!
    Sure, you'll have to watch ads if you're free TH-cam member...big deal.
    I search for workouts and save them in a folder. Start video when you're ready and workout😄
