I purchased the NordicTrack S22i on 3/3/2022. I was not given proper instructions about the importance of registering my equipment with NordicTrack and the extended warranty. Around 3 weeks ago I went to use my bike and the monitor would not come on. I contacted NordicTrack support and they advised that I should have registered my equipment and took the extended warranty. They advised me to seek another source since they would not be able to assist me. I have not had my equipment for a year and NordicTrack does not want to assist me resolve this problem. I would just like to use my equipment and get it fixed. I am willing to pay for my warranty but I still cannot get help.

We bought our treadmill new about a year ago. The incline hasn't worked correctly since se bought it. Every time we've called customer service we've been on hold for 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. During our last call they ordered more parts for us and were supposed to send a service tech. It's been a month and still haven't received a call from service tech. I can't bare the thought of sitting on hold again for an hour knowing that they still probably won't help fix a simple problem.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
I still have not been contacted by either a servive technician or the ifit support team. When trying to call ifit support, it is more than a 1 hour hold time before I can speak with someone, then they have to transfwr to th parts department for service, and that is also a 45 minute to 1.5 hour hold time. The company simply is not meeting their side of the service contract, but there is no way to contact anyone to escalate of fix the prblem.

iFit sent an automatic update to our NordicTrack treadmill in or about December 2022. The update caused the iFit tablet to malfunction and render the treadmill inoperable. After following troubleshooting steps, the screen indicated an API 3 error and failed to boot.Business Response

Ordered an elliptical for $1,000 with white glove delivery an extra $200, for xmas present. Delivered damaged. Tried to resolve with delivery company and they said we needed to contact NordicTrack directly. Their model for support has you holding hours to speak with someone. We tried numerous days but were unable to get someone live after holding for over a cumulative 4 plus hours. When I finally did get someone they didn't ask for all information (like proof I paid for machine despite an order number the first time),all they requested was a video of damage which we sent. A follow up call to support then requested my proof of payment which I provided. Now it's waiting for a repair technician to call 3-5 days, getting on their schedule, they have to order parts and then come back to repair. The machine is unusable and I am looking at 2-4 weeks before repair, IF it can be fixed. Horrible service and support model. I would like a brand new machine.Business Response

Complaint: 19385330
I am rejecting this response because:
Ordered as a xmas gift after saving for a long time.
Delivery by white glove Ryder. Elliptical came into home with a crack in flywheel on right side that ***** said was cosmetic - person onsite while they delivered was inexperienced and accepted. The Ryder team also installed a handle backwards.
Called ***** with complaint that incline was not working 2 days later, they returned with a screwdriver and said they could not repair.
Started trying to call iFit. Recipient (my daughter)has a job where she cannot hold. Nordic Track/iFit support phone system is horrible. She experienced over 1 hour holds repeatedly and couldn't reach someone.
She could use machine without incline function initially, however, machine completely stopped working in week three of 30 day period.
The calling iFit support was handed off to me (mom/gift giver). Because my phone number didn't match registration the system didn't allow me to proceed. The 3rd time/day I tried calling the system allowed me to put in my daughter's phone number. Unfortunately we were 2 days past 30 day limit. You can't email support. I believe this is intentional.
Because iFit/Nordic Tracks support system is atrociously impossible, with repeated hold times of over 1 hour, to navigate we shouldn't bear all responsibility here. They have a deficient 3rd party doing $200 white glove installations.
Finally got a live person (*****) in support who gave us a case number, his email, and asked for a video of the problem (elliptical sounds like a train) which we sent. I then gave them a 24 hour window to reply and when they didn't reach out I called again.
This time after another hours wait I spoke w **** who said he couldn't proceed unless I could prove I purchased the elliptical. The first support person didn't ask for this and I think that's suspect. I provided proof and was assigned a different case number. I was told that a technician for Nordic Track would call in 3-5 days, set up appointment, diagnose the problem and order parts to repair. Both ***** and **** were polite.
A technician called my daughter the same day who said Nordic Track already ordered parts and that they were most likely the wrong parts. The appointment is set for 2/21/23.
I actually tried calling the corporate office in ****. Interestingly, they had the same type of phone system set up that made it impossible to get a person directly.
I want a working elliptical, at no additional cost. We did nothing wrong. If it cannot be repaired I expect iFit/Nordic Track to replace it at no cost to me. They can use the $200 fee I paid for their white glove service to ship.

I purchased a brand new NordicTrack Treadmill in January 2021 from Dick's ******** Goods in Orland Pk, **. We turned the treadmill off 6/2022 as it would not be used during the summer. In 9/2022, we plugged the treadmill back in and we could not get it to turn on. I immediately tried contacting iFit to determine how to get this fixed. Every time I called into iFit, the wait time was greater than 1 hour. 1 HOUR to reach a live person. I was able to finally schedule a rep from City Fitness Repair to come out in late Oct to diagnose the problem with the treadmill. It was determined that I needed a new console. Next steps was for me to call into iFIT again to put the order in, which I did. Again, it took more than 1 HOUR to reach a person. Order was placed in early Nov and my City Fitness rep reached out to check on the status of the order. I called back for a status, waited over an HOUR again for the call to be dropped. ******* from City Fitness was kind enough to follow up for me on 12/6 and said now I needed to call back to link the labor charge to the console. So I had to call AGAIN, wait an HOUR to link it and found out that the console was on back order until early Jan. I had not heard anything for a few weeks, so I had my father call since my schedule did not allow me to wait on the phone for an HOUR. He called, he waited 1 HOUR and they told him I would receive it by mid-January. By mid-January, I had not received it but did not have time to call so the only way to get an answer is for me to email City Fitness who is now telling me that the consoles are on backorder for up to a year.I work in the tech industry, so I understand that getting parts is difficult. My complain against iFit is their non-existent customer service. They have no way for their customers to reach Support efficiently. It is unacceptable that they would expect customers to wait an HOUR every time they have to call in. I want a direct contact at iFIT to get updates!Business Response

Purchased Nordictrack Commercial **** treadmill in 2019. In December my treadmill stopped working, wont turn on despite a reset. After trying for hours several times to get in touch with customer service I called a local repair company. He came out at a cost of $110 and told me that the console was fried and it would be $550 to fix and no estimated date when it would be available. Did some of my own research as it had less than 600 miles on it and found out that in December of 2022 the company pushed out a software update that bricked the treadmill, hundreds of people have reported the same issue on the same treadmill. After calling corporate directly they denied my request to send me a new console saying it wasnt their problem. I disagree that they need to stand behind their product and replace the console that they corrupted with their iFit update. I wouldnt need a new console if they hadnt corrupted it. The customer service and accountability is horrendous.Business Response

Ifit charged my credit card for software program after I cancelled the order. The company is not responding to emails or calls. I was advised that after cancelling the order for the NordicTrac and accompanying software (ifit), I would be refunded. That was not the case for the software. They charged me $268.13 for a software I do not possess for a machine I do not possess.Business Response

I purchased Nordic Track Elliptical and an extended warranty on the machine. The machine started to make loud noise on the right side of the machine with each use and I called IFIT for extended warranty service or resolution. I have had two tech visits, first tech said stated there was a frame issue that could not be resolved by replacing parts. The second tech replaced several parts o the first visit and then ordered more parts and replaced those parts without any resolution to the loud clunky noise occurring from the right side of the machine. I called back four times since the last tech visit and verified his notes, and videos were uploaded. The tech indicated could not be fixed by replacing parts and I have been unable to obtain the final resolution for a refund or replacement equipment. I spoke with a supervisor who stated they would email with an update not update has been received to date. I have called back to validate and sent another video of my machine making the same noise. I am requesting a replacement or refund of the equipment per the extended warranty criteria.Business Response

I bought my NordicTrack treadmill in the summer of 2020 as well as the accompanying IFit. I had a two year warranty on my equipment and no problems that warranted customer service, so I never had any prior experience with the company. All this said until December of 2022. The screen on my treadmill suddenly stopped working without anything happening before that would explain this (e.g. moving the equipment etc). After combing through the users manual, submitting a request for further help from an employee, emailing and getting no reply from their customer service, and too many hours spent on the phone on hold, 2 months later and my treadmill will still not turn on and doesn't work. My husband began contacting them on their ******* and was able to get a replacement part, free of charge which we are enormously grateful for. However, that was a month ago and we still have yet to receive the replacement part. I am not working right now because I have had health issues for the past 3 years and this treadmill is an extremely significant part of my recovery. By it not working, my health and well being is at stake. I am at my **** end about this issue and don't know how to get further help.Business Response
