I bought a Nordick Track rower in December 2021, and it never worked correctly. The resistance doesn't change no matter the level. NT sent a tech and he replaced several parts and it worked for a while, but it is doing the same thing again. I had purchased an extended service plan, and when I called today they said that it doesn't cover in home service. I sent them a picture of the contract which shows it does indeed cover in home service. They then said that the will still need to charge me $159 to come out and then if it needs fixing they will cover it. I'm fed up with the entire process. The internet is full with online forums on how the rower is defective.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.I accept that they will send a technician out and either fix the problem or replace the machine at no extra cost to me. They seem to be acting in good faith and I will in kind. If the rower isn't fixed, or if they try to charge me anything I will begin another case against them. I need a fully working rower or a new one. Lets hope they keep their word.
Sincerely,

I ordered an elliptical machine from iFit/Pro-Form, Inc on 11/4/23. The unit arrived at my home 11/10/23. We assembled the machine and commenced to use it and noticed that it flexed and bounced when in use. We contacted iFit for help with the flexing and bouncing issue, including uploading a video to illustrate the issue. We were advised the tighten all of the screws, nuts and bolts which we did and the problem persisted. We asked for a technician to come out to see if the issue could be fixed and no one has come out. I also purchased a foam floor mat (1 inch thick) to see if this would help. It did not alleviate the flexing and bouncing. I received a call from a representative named Benson who was calling me to up sell a subscription an online 12 month membership which I declined, but received an invoice for the following day for $349.00. I was upset that I was charged for this membership which is financed by TD Bank. This charge has been reversed, however the charge for the elliptical also financed through TD Bank is still pending and I received a billing invoice today. I’ve advised ProForm that I want a refund, the creditor paid back and to send someone to pick up the elliptical. There has been no response from Pro-Form/iFit.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: I do not accept the 10% re-stocking fee, and I was not aware of, nor do I believe it was disclosed to me at the time of purchase as I thought I was dealing with ProForm/Ifit, and not Nordic Track. However, I am willing to accept the $250 shipping fee with ProFit arranging the logistics of the pick up and shipping.

Hi ****,
All fees are disclosed in our return policy, all orders receive a link at the time of purchase. Because we have not determined that there is an issue with this machine by a certified tech all fee's are applicable unless determined otherwise.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ******** and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. However, since their return conditions are based upon a contract or adhesion, whereby there was no chance on my part to negotiate its terms, I wish to return the elliptical. Please advise when and a carrier will arrive to pick up the unit. Since Pro-Form was unwilling to send a technician out to evaluate the unit, I request that they evaluate the unit for defects upon return and advise if the 10% re-stocking fee will be refunded. I also request notification as to when the ProForm financing will be credited so that I can pay this off accordingly.Thank you for your assistance.

I currently own a NordicTrack 2450 Commercial Treadmill which has become inoperable due to a iFit software update which was automatically pushed to the console built in to the Treadmill. Prior to the update the treadmill and all functions worked with no issues. Post software update, I get the error message "No Bootable Device. Hit any Key" and the machine is unusable.
I have called NordicTrack to discuss options to address the issue and the only resolution provided is for me to purchase a new console for the treadmill at my expense. I find it unacceptable that a software update, automatically pushed to my treadmill, would cause it to be unusable and they expect me to pay more than 1K to fix the issue created by their software update.Business Response

I ordered a NORDICTRACK EXP 10i TREADMILL on 11/9/2023. Upon delivery and assembly, we identified that the item was not working properly. I reached out to the customer service team, and after several attempts to fix the problem we were able to identify that the treadmill had be shipped without any lubrication. The customer service team offers to provide a lubrication kit, but I am not comfortable attempting any maintenance or repairs when we have been unable to actually test the equipment to see if there are any other issues, or it otherwise meets our needs. If we were to void our warranty etc. that would leave us unprotected.
After consideration, I reached back out to customer service to request a return and was told that there was no way to return the faulty item without paying an additional ~$400 in fees. It is unreasonable to expect a customer to pay that much money (or any money at all) to return a faulty item. After dealing with the customer service team at NordicTrack/iFit, I am even less inclined to try to fix the problem and keep the machine, as I have no interest in working with them further.
I would really love if someone could help me coordinate a pick up and return of the equipment as soon as possible, without fees.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: it is entirely unethical to demand customers pay exorbitant fees to return a product that was not shipped in working condition. The total fees come out to nearly third of the cost of the machine. I am not returning it because I changed my mind, you shipped me an item that doesn’t work and told me “whoops, guess you’ll have to fix it yourself”. How can you stand behind that policy as a company? You’re screwing over real people who can’t afford to throw $400 out the window because of your mistakes.

Hi ********,
I'm sorry for the experience you have had, after speaking with our service department they have agreed to send out a tech to lubricate your belt and inspect your machine. We will also apply the credit of $79.50 to your account as compensation. Can you please verify the model and serial number off your physical machine so that we may go ahead and get that service set up for you. It will be located on a white or silver sticker on the base of your machine.

Complaint: ********
Hey there,
I appreciate you getting back to me and trying to offer compensation, but this route is still not a great solution for me. The value of the solution you are offering (compensation + lubrication kit + technician assistance) seems comparable to the cost of the fees I am asking you to wave in returning the item. I ask that we please just take that route, as I described previously I have lost a lot of trust in the company and am not interested in taking on additional work to try to repair the machine etc.

I have been a faithful Nordictrack user with an old treadmill, recumbent bike, and elliptical.
When I upgraded my treadmill to the 1750 (2020) everything seemed to be fine.
Then I experienced the (apparently) common issue of having a 'bricked' treadmill.
I tried re-powering the unit, the paper clip reset thing and looked for any loose connections.
I have the all-too-common symptoms of active bluetooth lighting and nothing else being diplayed.
For a high-end machine this seems like a improper testing rollout and I'm pretty disappointed in the experience.Business Response

After purchasing the bike at Best Buy I have not been able to use the included membership that was supposed to be included with it. They don’t want to issue a complementary membership since the bike came with it and now want 396 dollars for a 5 user one. I only need a single membership which they are not willing to honor it.

We purchased a Nordic Track bike on January 21, 2022, for $1,588.94, and it only has 20 hours of use on it. The screen on the machine now blinks when you plug it in and turn it on to the point it will give you seizures while riding it. We have contacted ifit/Nordic Track several times.

We purchased a x11i incline trainer in 2014. Machine has been great and we had been using iFIT family membership with our machine. Due to our family loving iFIT on the treadmill we decided to purchase a Nordic track rower in Fall of 2022 with a full 4 year iFIT family membership at cost of nearly $2k. In the spring of 2023 iFIT decided to not support older machines so now Im stuck with a family membership for iFIT that only half of my equipment works with. Their only resolution was to buy a new machine to use. I think it is deceptive when you purchase a machine and then expect the features to work on it for the duration of ownership.Business Response

Hello,
We are so sorry about the inconveniences and the frustrations that you have experienced thus far regarding your membership. We completely understand where you are coming from on this matter.
With regards to your complaint, think of it like a cell phone. The software and technology that support the application is constantly also changing and requiring updates to the point where you have to upgrade your phone to stay current and have all applications working. Same goes for our machines, they reached it's end of live and are focusing now on our new consoles and technology that is available to better our experience with our members. With your rower, that is why you are still able to use it, because it is apart of the new technology and features. With that in mind, I would be happy to offer 1 year of membership for free, on top of what you paid for, as a courtesy and one time compensation. If that's not something you are interested in, I can look at doing a partial refund but don't know how much we could refund at this point.
Thank you
