Wow these guys will weasel out of standing behind their products any way they can. Bought a rower a while ago. Suddenly just stopped turning on. It has taken me days to navigate through their terrible customer service. I tried to follow all their rules and I even went so far as to buy the extended service warranty and after hours and hours of getting passed around and talking to half a dozen people. Long story short I dont know where my original receipt is so they wont do anything. They want another $160 just to come look at it and wont even talk through possible solutions online or on the phone. I love the iFit platform and concept but pray you never have anything break because their customer service is absolutely awful. No one wants to help you. They do everything they can to deny your warranty or service coverage and pass you to someone else to chat with. Shameful at best.

I have a full 1 year warranty and my machine broke. They will not exchange and have sent a technician who has never seen or worked on this type of machine. They threatened that they would not continue with parts or service if I choose to see a doctor (I fell off the rower when it broke)

We purchased a NordicTrack (iFIT) Commercial **** Treadmill in June of 2022. Upon initial assembly the machine was inoperative. Customer support was contacted and troubleshooting ensued resulting in disassembly and reassembly of the machine, a few phone calls, and finally live support. The machine was found to have a disconnected wire on the motherboard. Easy fix but a frustrating start.Once in use we discovered that not all of the buttons worked on the control panel. Again, several phones calls and email support iFit confirmed the control panel was at fault and a replacement was provided. The panel was replaced yet the conditions remains. New requests for support were submit with no response.We have contacted IFit on multiple occasions. Email is unresponsive. Phone support is difficult at best with calls being conveniently "dropped". In the latest communication I was able to explain the situation and requested an on-site technician or elevation to someone within their customer support network that could assist. I was denied the on-site support request, was denied the request to speak with a higher level of support, and was subsequently call dropped - again.We do not have a great email trail because most of the discussion have been verbal. iFit seems to create case numbers but they do not appear to track communications within a common service request identifier. The support experience with the company is unacceptable. For the price we paid for the machine we expect it to function correctly. We do like the machine and are not looking for a refund. We do expect the company to stand behind their product and provide the needed repairs.

Placed treadmill order($5826) on 12/5/22. First delivery attempt was 1/3/23. Was told 2 more delivery men needed because equip too heavy. Took back to warehouse. Norditrack approved 2 more delivery men. Attempted to delivery treadmill it was damaged (piece that holds tv was cracked). Declined delivery. Ordered 2nd treadmill 1/10/23 through Shaylee (she offered a free item for the inconvenience-heart monitor). On 2/10/23 received a call from ***************************(member care lead) treadmill arrived at delivery *** damaged. I called & spoke to ***********************(rep) she ordered replacement & was offered a free mat and 3 mo of free iFIt for any inconvenience. Attempted 4th delivery 3/25/23 when opening boxes they discovered a hole the size of a baseball in the back of the monitor. Once again declined delivery. I immediately emailed ******, on 2/28/23 said the photos show no ****************** can be redelivered again (damaged) but a new treadmill is not possible. I asked her to call me, she did not. Called billing & returns spoke to *******, she proceeded to tell me they couldnt ship another treadmill, i needed to cancel the **************** I asked to speak to a mgr. was told they are going to tell me the same thing. Asked again to speak to a mgr. after was told they reviewed the situation & that was the only option I had.

I am rejecting this response because:Their response is par for the course. They fail to address the issues and always have a lackadaisical canned response.
Yes I did return the treadmill but only because I was told that was the only way to have another treadmill delivered. I surely was not going to take delivery of a damaged $4,499 treadmill only to have to turn around and contact the repair department and have them send a new monitor for a brand new treadmill. I was told I needed to cancel and place another order. Unfortunately I have not been able to place a new order because they are having a difficult time refunding the original form of payment (I financed the machine through Norditrack). Evidently they changed companies since I placed the original order and are running into some problems. I have attempted to place a new order every day since 2/28/23.
At the very least they could send the mat & give me the free 3 months of iFit which was promised to me. I was told that since my order was cancelled all compensation was null & void. But I only canceled because I was told that was my only option.
It is truly unbelievable what I have been through the last 3 months. Ive waited for delivery of the treadmill on three separate occasions and I feel my time is more valuable then a $40 mat and a few free months access to an app but based on the responses I have received Norditrack does not feel the same. I have been beyond patient & understanding.
Sincerely,

I bought a Proform treadmill from ***'s club for $600 for my wife for Christmas in December of 2022. It came missing a part. The box had not been opened and ***'s club said to contact the manufacturer which is if it. I tried calling which is all automated and waited for support who doesn't answer. I tried live chat which is a Agentbot with no help. And I emailed 2 separate emails which had a reply giving me a case number that means nothing. What should a person do?

I previously opened case #******** on this issue for reference. Unfortunately my decision to close that case was premature. My IFit/NordicTrack Commercial **** Treadmill's console unit was rendered inoperable while receiving a software update on Jan 3rd 2023. After spending the better part of a day trying to get (and failing to receive any) support for the issue, I opened my complaint (#********). Shortly after that an iFit representative put in an order to replace the treadmill's dead console (the treadmill cannot be used without it), so I naively thought the issue was going to be resolved. But, after two months I still have not received the replacement console and have no real estimate for it. The latest information I have on it is maybe sometime in April. I do not believe IFit has any intention of honoring the warranty on this device. We've already gone two months without being able to use this treadmill (which is unacceptable by itself) and the best case prospect is it might be fixed in another couple months. It's particularly bothersome for me since I recently had major orthopedic surgery on my shoulder and was counting on use of this treadmill for cardio maintenance in support of my recovery.I'm not expecting a full refund of the purchase price of the device (~$1900.00) as we did get over two years of use from the treadmill before it was rendered inoperable. But, some level of compensation I believe is in order (maybe a depreciated value?) so I can apply that to the purchase of a functioning treadmill to replace it with. Otherwise, what is the point of a warranty?

As many others have already filed complaints for, iFit provides the console for my Nordic Track treadmill. They put out a faulty update in January/February that completely rendered the treadmill useless. After a few weeks of continuous attempts to contact support, I was finally able to reach someone who tested and determined that I needed a new console. I was told 2-3 weeks. It has now been over a month and I have not received a new console and am only told that they are back ordered and dont know when they will be available. I am paying for a service and have a useless $2000 machine. This is completely unjust. I want my treadmill back functioning. Honestly, this is a health issue. I am being robbed of the yearly fee I paid and I am not able to use this expensive piece of equipment.

I had previously paid for a technician repair and after the technician installed a brand new motor the treadmill did not work. I then reached out to nordictrack about my problem and did not hear back from them for months. Once I was able to get in contact with them I then got another technician repair and a new motor for my treadmill and that still hasn't solved my problem. My treadmill stops at random points and refuses to move within minutes of use.

After reviewing your account it appears that the tech was out in February and stated that they installed the replacement drive motor and everything was working as it should.Can you please provide additional information about the current issue?
Did you purchase an extended warranty for this machine?
Customer Answer
Date: 03/04/2023
Complaint: 19523293
I am rejecting this response because: The machine looked to be working when the technician installed the new motor but when I went to use it the day after the install I kept getting the same issue that I had previously. The motor would run but after a minute or so the treadmill would completely stop when weight is on the belt. The technician had told me that if that where to be the case then a new drive board would more then likely be the solution to my treadmill not being functional. No i have not purchased an extended warranty because i already have a 3 year insurance plan on the treadmill. I dont know what route you guys want to take but I just want my treadmill to be up and running without issue. Whether that involves part replacement, complete machine replacement, refund on treadmill price, or whatever other solution, i ultimately just want my treadmill to be usable. I have had the treamill for about a year and it has been unusable for about half that time and it is partly due to the nordictrack agents closing down my chat requests whenever i tried reaching out and getting help for my issues on my machine. -thanks

I purchased a Treadmill from NordicTrack model ****. First use it thumps really loud the belt jitters when you are on it and feels really unsafe and it squeaks loud. I called support two days in a row and spent over 3 hours on the phone mostly waiting -- they said I would need to spend 150/hr for a tech and that the white glove service doesn't cover it actually working right (I am not kidding). I said well what about the lemon guarantee you said you have -- they have several fees they charge which amounts to half the cost of the treadmill to return it. So, right now, I have a loud noisy unsafe brand-new treadmill and not sure what to do...I am contemplating disputing the charge. ****** learned be weary of buying from them. Also, they told me to oil the belt which I did and no change.
