My treadmill was bricked by the software update from iFIT. After several attempts in March 2023 to get through to an agent, I was told a replacement console would be sent to me in **** business days - not the same part either since that one will likely have issues. The order status site didn't have any updates the next week so after getting through to another agent, I was told that part was back-ordered and wouldn't be sent until May 2023.After receiving the replacement part, the delivered box didn't have any instructions or tools, only containing the upper part of a treadmill with wires sticking out. I contacted iFIT to see if a technician could be sent out and was told I would need to pay $160 for a visit. I asked for it to be waived since this replacement part was due to iFIT's software update and was told that's not an option since the treadmill isn't under warranty and this is part of assembly.We paid for assembly when we first purchased the machine. This software update didn't ask for user approval, I didn't consent to any updates. Given this isn't user error or normal deterioration, I would expect the company to shoulder the cost of fixing the faulty machine.

I placed an order on 06.04.23 and unfortunately 2 orders were placed, I immediately started calling to have this issue rectified and the customer service department was less than helpful. I was blamed for the duplicate order being placed. I have called over 30 times and this issue has not been resolved, I was told I would have to pay someone to assemble to equipment and that is not sitting well with me. I am beyond livid, I am outraged at this point.

I purchased a Proform rowing machine to coordinate with other exercise equipment and activity and sync with my Apple Health app. Virtually all Bluetooth exercise equipment have many apps that are compatible and sync with Apple Health for free. There was no mention in any informational material that ONLY the iFit app (I guess iFit is parent company) was compatible and that unless you paid for a subscription you could not sync up with Apple Health.

Hello,
We apologize for all you have been through.
Unfortunately, you must have an active membership in order to sync with Apple Health, Strava, Garmin etc.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Have a great day !

Complaint: 20144725
I am rejecting this response because:This is the same generic response they gave me after spending a lot of time with them on support chat. This issue is that ProForm is the brand of rowing machine and, while they identify iFit as a COMPATIBLE activity tracking app that you are not required to subscribe to in order to use the equipment, they do NOT indicate that you have to spend hundreds of dollars on an active subscription to simply sync data with other health apps. I only use the manual workout mode (i.e. no live or recorded training sessions which is what the subscription is all about), so it would be completely wasteful to spend that amount of money to simply pass my own activity data to Apple Health. Virtually every other Bluetooth-enabled equipment is compatible with multiple activity apps, but the ProForm rower is not. They have a closed system where the only app that works is iFit and they don't allow you to sync for free. This is utter deception and a predatory practice that is just wrong. Either allow users to sync for free or allow other apps to work with the equipment.
Sincerely,

My console is stuck/frozen and my treadmill no longer works. I was directed to icon fitness (ifit) and they have done nothing other to say a new console will arrive in **** days then 3-4 weeks and nothing other than they will give me a free month of ifit. I want to know if I will really get the new console or if I should junk my treadmill? If so I will never ever buy from this company again as they promised to repair but clearly arent and I see TONS of cases online where the same is happening. How are they allowed to do this?

I purchased a Nordictrack Commercial **** treadmill from this company on 4/29/21. Since I purchased it over two years ago it has been working for maybe 60 days. My first issue came when the treadmill became inoperable on 05/30/21. I reached out to Ifit to have a technician come out to the house and they expedited a part to me. Nobody ever came out to fix the treadmill and I replaced the part myself. On 7/18/21 the treadmill ceased operation for the second time. I called Ifit again they sent me parts. When I called on 7/26/21 to check the status I was told I needed to contact the repairman directly. I called again on 8/12/21 and was told I needed to wait two business days for a reply. Nobody contacted me. A technician came out on 09/2/21 assess why treadmill broke for third time and stated there was a broken wire. They had to order the wire and came out on 9/20/21 to fix the issue. The machine then broke again 09/22/21. I reached out to Ifit to request that they refund my money or replace the machine. I was told I had to go through the policy and was provided a supervisors email. I emailed the supervisor three times between 09/22 and 11/2/21 with no response. On 11/3/21 I called Ifit customer service again and was told a tech was never assigned to the case and itd be another **** days. On 11/30 I called to follow up and was told to contact the tech directly. On 12/14 a tech came out and repaired the machine. On 12/24/21 the machine broke again. On 1/7/22 I spent two hours on hold and my call was disconnected. On 1/08 I called again and the rep told me since it was less than a month theyd send the same rep out. I followed up twice with no response. I called Ifit again on 3/01/22 and was told the work order was closed. A tech did not come out until November 30th 2022. The tech once again repaired the machine and it broke again on 1/28/23. I filed a service claim 1/31/23 and never heard back (it is now June). I would like a refund and Ifit to pick up the machine.

I am rejecting this response because:I have an extended warranty but it does not change the fact that I have reached out to you on numerous occasion without any kind of response and have had a non working machine for 7 months (and thats only the most recent incident) without any contact from your company. It should not be on the customer for constant follow up when a service request has been put on file months before and your group is unresponsive. If someone wants to call me to discuss Id be more than happy to but this is poor business practice

We have sent this information over to our Billing team for you and have them further review your account.
They stated that there was a dispute submitted for the refund, which is currently still in progress. We are unable to release funds until the dispute is resolved.
The dispute process will take time to be completed. Unfortunately when a dispute is submitted, you as the buyer need to stay in contact with your bank on where the dispute process is at. We cant do anything with this account until the dispute has settled.
As for IFIT charges, we are unable to refund any membership fee as they are non refundable.

In December 2022 there was a firmware update pushed out by iFit which made the treadmill inoperable. We have a NordicTrack Commercial ****. We attempted on multiple occasions to contact iFit support. The representative refused to acknowledge the root cause of the failure and sent us some parts that when replaced did not fix the problem.We need the console replaced by a professional technician to resolve this challenge. The treadmill is completely inoperable due to the malicious update pushed out by a former disgruntled iFit employee.
