iFit Train - Monthly Membership

You need to activate on a computer. It will not work on a phone. After I switched to a laptop, I had no problems!

I had this tier subscription for about 6 months, and it was worth every penny. I come back after being hurt and re-start my subscription and find that I now no longer have access to all of the workout programs on my NordicTrack 1250 unless I upgrade to a "Pro" subscription for more than twice the old sub, and the same old workouts. Not worth the huge price hike for someone that is not a hardcore athlete, and the premium price I paid for this treadmill is a waste without the seriously up-charged iFit app. I was happy with the old model, but the new model, in these times of financial uncertainty is just not worth it. Better off paying for a full gym membership and personal trainer.

As long as you follow the instructions, this works for an existing account with a lapsed family membership. I bought this for myself since my family doesn't use our Nordic Track treadmill. Could have not been easier. Just in case you are wondering, here are the steps to follow:1) Click the “Activate” button in the email you get from Amazon. The email is delivered in less than 5 minutes.2) Create a new IFit account OR log into your existing IFit account in order to link your Amazon and IFit accounts. I logged into my existing account.3) After linking your IFit account, you will be redirected to the Subscriptions page on Amazon.Click “Access Product.”4) Log into your iFit account to verify!This automatically converted my family account to an individual account.Happy training!

Jan 2024 Update: *iFit didn't resolve many of the problems listed below, but they DID increase the monthly price to use your *already purchased, expensive, warrantied* exercise equipment... The $15 month plan is worthless now... you must hand over ~$40 now just to use the HD screen and running videos on your own, purchased equipment... Another update! No, you can pay that $40 and you STILL can't use the equipment that you purchased!Let's start with the immediate issues: Poor integration between Amazon subscription services and iFit. You'll place this order, and then be directed to the Subscriptions section of your Amazon account. But there will be no activation code or process visible to activate and nothing will be emailed to you. You'll contact Customer Service and, if you're lucky, after 30-40 minutes, and a cancel/reorder, you may get an Activation button added after some time. If some of that actually DOES work for you, expect your iFIT account to get updated to whatever plan you purchased but your account on your equipment (treadmill, bike, etc.) to STILL not update properly.As for iFit itself, very mixed reviews on that. I used it for 12 months, canceled, and now only use it during the cold months when I can't run elsewhere. A Norditrack treadmill + iFit software have some glaring issues - subpar networking hardware OR server speeds so your "HD" screen is rarely displaying HD quality, despite top-of-line routes and gigabit internet. And your "scenic" runs through the woods or along the beach are 50% comprised of a camera staring at the back or shoulders of a trainer. Yes, that's right, know this: you can't enjoy iFit's "scenic runs from around the world" on your "HD" screen without running -- quite literally -- staring at the back of a trainer who takes up between a good portion the screen and who talks the entire time. (I turned off my sound years ago, never turned it back on). There are other concerns, but I'll stop there. In summary, the iFit routes combined with a suitable treadmill/bike are acceptable enough during cold weather when you can't run elsewhere -- the monthly $15 (once you fight through making the Amazon -> iFit activation work) (edit: $15 doesn't get you access... to your own treadmill... now it's ~$40/mo, to use your own equipment!) is probably worth that much ($15 was kinda worth it, but $40??, to use your own equipment??), but I wouldn't recommend more, unless you want to pay the full amount and want a trainer talking your ear off and running with you and blocking your views...

My ProForm bike came with a 12 month iFit membership that expired over the holidays. I enjoy running outdoors most of the year, but hate running in cold temps. During those few months I prefer to bike indoors. The monthly subscription offered on Amazon allows me to just pay for what I need. I purchased the 1-Month Membership a few minutes ago and followed the very simple directions. I just walked down the hall and turned on my bike and the membership is already active and ready to go! Like others have mentioned, I would encourage you to do everything with a computer vs a phone. I think this made it much easier. I couldn't be happier with the process. Typing this review took longer than it did for me to purchase and migrate the new membership to my existing iFit account.

I don't understand how anyone is saying set up was a pain, you order it goes under your subscriptions you hit activate and type in your IFit email and in about 2 min you are all set up. It starts on the DAY you pay and RENEWS monthly. We travel several months of the year so this is a prefect option for me. Also if you don't like listening to the trainer you can just mute and put your headphones on it tells you up top how fast you should be, if you are newer to fitness just turn on smart adjust and it'll adjust based on your fitness level.

DO NOT BUY. Don’t waste your $15 on this membership because you only have access to 2 videos a month and it’s the same two videos every month. With the $15 Amazon membership, you used to be able to get a full membership, but not anymore. They don’t tell you that every video will now be locked, but a few of the worst ones. You can’t take any of the classes. NONE. It was like $15 in the trash. This is a scam I it is now running to try to get you to pay $50 a month once you log in. Don’t waste your money.

I recently purchased a Nordic track bike and I signed up for I fit. It's great, I use it everyday. There are so many different workouts and trainers to choose from soyou can find one that works best for you.There is a good selection of rides in several different countries around the world.
