I contacted iFit on June 27, 2023 when my treadmill stopped working. The screen was blank and the machine wouldn't turn on. I was told my machine was out of service warranty so I needed to pay $159 up front, and a service technician would contact me within 3-5 business days to schedule a visit. On July 6, 2023 I still had not heard from anyone so I called the service technician directly. He told me to send him a text with the service order number and a description of the problem. He never scheduled a visit to come look at the treadmill. On July 19, 2023 a box appeared at my house with a part from iFit with no instructions or explanation as to what it was. I waited several weeks for someone to contact me, and today, August 22, 2023, I contacted iFit to find out what's going on. My email inquiry was answered with a **** and condescending response stating that the machine had been diagnosed and the part had been sent and if I wanted someone to come install the part I would need to pay for a "second visit." Which is funny, because I never received the first visit I paid $159 for. I have now waited almost two months and haven't been able to use my machine, which is less than 5 years old.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: my treadmill is still not usable. However, judging by the outcomes of similar complaints I realize this resolution is probably the best I'll get from this company. Disappointed at the amount of time and hassle this has taken. I won't be purchasing a Nordic Track or anything with iFit ever again, that's for sure!

We purchased an extended warranty from UTS for an IFIT **** HIIT elliptical. In December of 2022 the machine broke down and became unusable. Since that time we have had a technician visit several times to try and fix it. The technician is not able to get into the part of the machine that has the problem. The technician has taken videos and submitted notes to *** explaining that they are not able to fix the machine. When i contact *** so see what next steps are they tell me they can't do anything until the technician uploads their notes. I have watched the technician upload the notes so this is not true. Also after the technician reported that they could not fix the machine *** opened a completely new ticket about a display issue that cropped up during one of the technician's visits. My last call to *** resulted in them forwarding my call to **** which confused the **** representative because *** has the service agreement for fixing the machine. I purchased a service contract from *** which is not being honored!Business Response

I have a Nordictrack Elliptical ****. It had an automatic update to the software which took away the internet access of the machine. When I called to inquire about it the representative walked be through the settings and erase the sd card to do some kind of reset. The machine would not boot up after that and the representative said sorry and that I could by a new machine to replace it. The machine worked fine in "manual" mode before the representative had me erase the sd card. Now the machine won't boot up to use in manual mode. It gets stuck on a white screen with the ifit logo. Many others are complaining about the same thing on the internet and ifit does nothing to resolve the problem. They created the problem but won't fix it.Business Response

The company I purchased my treadmill from online - NordicTrack/iFit. When I purchased this treadmill one year ago, I purchased a 4-year extended service plan for $180 that also includes NordicTrack's standard warranty. Now, 1 year later when I need to have the treadmill diagnosed and serviced, I am being told that the 4 year extended service plan (that I paid $180 for) does not cover diagnostic, does not cover a technician repairing any part that *** need to be repaired, and does not cover anything other than mailing to me a part for the treadmill...ONLY after I take the treadmill apart and determine which part *** need to be replaced! Myself! Furthermore, the charge to have an actual technician do a diagnostic on the treadmill is an additional $160...and this only includes the technician doing a diagnostic! There will be additional fees to have someone come back out to actually do any ************ I have the needed part shipped to me. Plus, additional fees inclusive of taxes and other fees such as travel fees. This is absolutely ridiculous and a farce...and I was lied to when I purchased this treadmill! When I purchased the treadmill, I paid the additional $180 for the 4-year extended service plan because it was described to me as including maintenance on the treadmill when needed...not so that I can take my treadmill apart myself, determine which part *** be needed, and THEN pay additional money to have a technician come out to do the actual work of repairing the part! This is insane and a rip-off.Business Response

Complaint: 20501075
I am rejecting this response because:Hi,
I received your message on the BBB
My account should have extensive notes, which includes 4+videos that I have sent.
I have had 6 technicians visit my home
I have had the motor replaced 4 times, despite being told that alternative solutions would be found after the 3rd motor replacement
I have not been able to use this machine for the 4 months that I have had it.
I have had 3 separate email chains with 3 different support reps. **** one will still respond to my emails, the other 2 just stopped replying
I have made numerous phone calls to support, all of which subtracted 30 minutes from my day or more. 2 calls ended in me being disconnected
Yesterday after being on hold for 25 minutes and then disconnected by the rep, I get an email that a 5th motor is now being sent.
I called back and asked the rep for a supervisor, which resulted in a 45 minute wait to speak with *************************** for about 4 minutes.
***** said he would be calling me back and also would send an email as soon as we ended the conversation.
I have gotten no emails and no calls.
I am getting the feeling that ICON / IFIT will not be resolving this issue any time soon.
I am getting tired of speaking with someone new every month and putting aside hours of my time to talk to ifit, and wait for service technicians to come and attempt repairs that do not resolve the issue.
I have had 3 different techs. All 3 came to the same conclusion the motor is defective, and it is likely that IFIT is sitting on a batch of defective motors and they do not know it.
All of my videos, and troubleshooting steps should be on file. I should not have to troubleshoot anything considering the 6 technician visits and 4 motor replacements. I mean, I am a smart guy but if you cant take the word of 3 separate professionals that you sent here, then what could I possibly offer.
The motor is ear piercingly loud. Both with the belt connected and not connected.
I do not know what else you want me to do, but repeating the same steps over and over seems like a waste of my time and yours.

Complaint: 20501075
I am rejecting this response because:
all required information was provided to business. Business agreed that a replacement machine was the best course of action and it would be approved within ***** hours. 1 week later i had no response and was asked to provide the original replacement request to them (again more information that they already had)they informed me that the unit could not be replaced since it only has a 90 day warranty and more than 90 days have passed.
I reported the issue within 14 days of receiving the unit. IFIT has made multiple attempts to repair the machine and failed. the issue was never resolved. the 90 day warranty should start once the unit is actually repaired.
warranties do not expire while you still have an open repair request
I feel that IFIT is just trying to avoid replacing this defective machine and has used every stall tactic and trick that they could find to try and deny it.Meanwhile i am sitting here with a broken machine that is an over priced coat rack and I have spoken to several other owners of this model who are having very similar issues.
I would like to have this resolved and the machine replaced before Ifit goes out of business or files bankruptcy which i think is where this is all headed.

I purchased an Epic treadmill, model A42T, in mid-2013. Epic was a brand, now discontinued, that was part of the NordicTrack family. A prime attraction of the treadmill was its ability to connect to the internet via NordicTrack's iFit service. Among other things, iFit allows a user to automatically have their workouts logged to their iFit account on line, and to view street maps on the touchscreen that update frequently during a workout so as to create the illusion of running in a real-world environment. The automatic workout logging is the most important of the iFit features to me.
Within the past week I updated the firmware on the treadmill. After this firmware update, I could no longer log into my iFit account on the treadmill. Workout logging and street view were simply gone. A support article on NordicTrack's website, ********************************************************, explained why. The company has ended internet connectivity for touchscreen units manufactured between 2011-2016. This includes my treadmill.
I am extremely angry about the new limitations that NordicTrack has imposed on my treadmill. Although NordicTracks writes, "Just like your mobile devices eventually stop supporting updates, we can no longer support these older units,” the analogy is not apt. When a mobile device stops supporting updates, the device still continues to operate the way it did prior to the new update. A new update does not remove functionality, which is what NordicTrack did here. In essence, NordicTrack partially bricked my treadmill.
Needless to say, I will never buy another NordicTrack product again.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because NordicTrack is refusing to solve my problem. As their response makes clear, the company has made a business decision to discontinue internet connectivity for all older treadmills, making the machines partially obsolete. The availability of internet connectivity through NordicTrack's iFit service was a major selling point for these machines and was featured prominently in all forms of the company's marketing materials. Now the company is yanking the rug out from under us.

My NordicTrack T 7.5S treadmill stopped working after a software update in December 2022. I contacted iFIT customer support in April 2023 after trying to fix my treadmill on my own and was told that they could order a diagnostic to try to fix the problem. I was also told that because by warranty expired I would have to pay for the diagnostic and parts out of pocket. So, I decided to decline because I couldn’t afford it. It has come to my attention, however, that’s the update has bricked many other customers consoles and Nordictrack knew about this issue when I reached out to them in April. Yet, they still didn’t offer to resolve the issue for free since it was their fault.Business Response

I purchased an iFIT bike the beginning of July 2023, I paid extra money for assembly. An email was received that item will be delivered on August 1, 2023. **** was delivered and set up but I was told it wasn't working and I had to call into the company, which I did. A video chat was done so they could see the issue, service tech was to call and parts were shipped and received. Service tech came out 08/10/2023, tested outlets, took a video and said he had to wait for them to tell him what to do. I message iFIT on 08/10/2023 since then eight messages have been received but bike still hasn't been fixed. On 08/15/2023, I was told service coordinator has more questions for the tech. I offered to talk with service coordinator because the tech didn't do anything other than test the outlets and see that the box which should have a solid green light was blinking. This is the same thing the service line saw when we did video chat. I waited over a week for a service tech to come and he did nothing more than I did. I still haven't heard from anyone. I purchased an extended warranty for one year but almost two months of that warranty has expired as they go from purchase date. So almost a month to get the machine and now close to three weeks since delivered and assembled . I have no idea when the bike will be fixed. This is also affecting my health as I canceled my gym membership when I received confirmation of arrival date so I don't have a way to exercise.Business Response

We will go ahead and get that applied to your account.

I am rejecting this response because: the issue is not resolved. Sending out a second tech for a second opinion doesnt resolve anything. So I am rejecting this response until the bike is fixed or the entire amount refunded.
Sincerely,

Hello,
Throughout a models release we may produce several versions of the product, often at the same time. Typically, any differences between versions are relatively minor and do not impact the functionality of the machine. Rather, it can be something as simple as the placement of the water bottle holder.While we can not guarantee which version of the model you receive, you are guaranteed a product that matches the specifications advertised. If you feel a specific feature was not accurately portrayed to you upon purchase of your product, I would be happy to review your claim. If this is the case, I would greatly appreciate a detailed explanation of what was misleading, so that we may swiftly rectify the situation.
Thank you

I am rejecting this response because: the response makes no sense at all. Dont recall saying anything was misleading or misplaced water bottle holder. My complaint clearly identifies the issue. I still havent heard from a service tech so we are now going into three weeks since the bike was delivered and hasnt worked from day one. Over a week since the first service tech came out and did nothing and no follow up. A $50 credit is nothing compared to the $971.55 I paid for a non working bike, assembly and a warranty

I am rejecting this response because. I will not consider this resolved until the bike is fixed. The tech did reach out to me but he cant come until September 5, 2023 which is over two weeks away and over a month since the bike was delivered and assembled and there is no guarantee it will be fixed. I will accept a response that states if on September 5, 2023 the bike is not fixed and in complete working order that I will be given a refund of the full purchase price, shipping and assembly charge as well as the cost of the warranty that would be considered useless

On August 7th, 2023 iFIT discountinued support for my Commerical **** treadmill. When I reached out to iFIT I was told while my machine could no longer access the iFIT libabry it could still be used in manual mode with preloaded workouts. I was offered to be directed to the sales department for speical pricing on new equipment but declined.When attempting to use the treadmill in manual mode after the support discontinuation the treadmill will not function. When I called iFIT for support I was told that is must be a mechnical issue and i would need to pay $160 + trip costs for a technican to service the machine.The treadmill has shown 0 mechnical issues prior to the discontinuation from iFIT. The discontinuation of support for functioning equipment is a predatory practice to drive sales of new equipment.Business Response
