My husband and I purchased a NordicTrack Commercial X22i Incline series treadmill. After it was delivered, we both accidentally created duplicate IFIT memberships. In June of 2022, when we realized there were duplicate accounts, we called customer support to help us fix the problem. We asked the CS agent to delete my membership/account, and we made my husband's account a family membership for both of us. (instead of paying double for two accounts). In December, I was auditing my credit card statement and noticed that my credit card was still being charged a monthly membership fee. When we called customer support again, they confirmed that my membership had been closed back in June, but my credit card had been moved to a fake account with an email we didn't recognize. It was confirmed that it was a mistake on their side, and we requested to be reimbursed for 7 months of membership payments. They refused to reimburse me because their policy stated that they never reimbursed customers for any reason - even if it was their fault and even if it was fraudulent.I had to call my credit card company and file a fraud case. They immediately closed my credit card and reissued a new credit card. I still have not been reimbursed for the fraudulent account charges.Business Response

Hello-
We are so sorry about the inconveniences and the frustrations that you have experienced regarding your membership. We completely understand where you are coming from on this matter.
I have had an IFIT representative look into this for you. They stated as 4 out of the 8 charges were disputed we cannot do anything regarding those. They can add the 4 months family (8 months individual since that's what the main account is set up as) to the main account.
As the charges are from April-July of last year so we are unable to do anything about refunding them.
You are welcome to reach out to our IFIT member care at ************** with any questions.
Thank you

I am rejecting this response because: the disputed charges are for *****December 2022. My membership (the duplicate membership) was canceled in June and my credit card was used fraudulently on a fake account from June through December. And I do not understand the second paragraph. It doesnt make any sense. *** already tried talking to customer support and they told me I would not be reimbursed. This is unacceptable and the public should be aware of these deceptive practices. Its theft.

I purchased a Proform Carbon E7 elliptical in 2021. 3 months ago it stopped working. We spoke with a customer service rep to set up a day to have some one look at it and never heard from proform/IFIT. We then paid for an independent company to look at it, they diagnosed the problem and stated it could not be fixed. I have made numerous call attempts and emails. I waited on hold 2+ hours to speak to someone before they disconnected me. My elliptical is covered under a warranty which runs out in March ****. I still owe payments on it.Business Response

February 2023 my ifit proform bike had plastic break off from the screws attaching the front wheel and lodge into the back wheel. The bike now smokes and grinds plastic. All attempts to contact ifit proform have failed. The 800 number is a dead end, all emails are not answered, attempts to email a service are not processed or answered. No one is available to assist with any customer service, repair, or equipment replacement issues. The company also started charging family memberships instead of single membership charging $24 more each month. Please assist me in reaching someone at ifit or proform to process help. I received 10 dead end emails that ifit received my request for help but no one has contacted me about my defective proform bike grinding plastic and smoking out the bike wheel.Business Response

January 2023 my 3 year old treadmill T6.5 SI purchased in December 2019 stopped working. The console froze with the only the Ifit logo visible. Upon research of this problem I discovered that there was an automatic update performed that corrupted my machine and many others rendering them unusable. I contacted Norditrack and they confirmed that it was their error that caused my machine to be unusable. They said they would replace console at no charge and it would be shipped in 2 weeks. So far nothing and cannot reach customer support or parts department to ********************** progress of shipment. I have been on hold for over 2 hours on several occasions. All I want to know is when my part will arrive so I may continue with my exercise program.Business Response

In November of 2022 our treadmills console had a fatal error caused by an Ifit update. I contacted the companies customer service line and after many days and many hours, I was told this is happening to thousands and that they are only offering to replace the console if we pay for it. I then contacted the cooperate office and spoke with ********************* a customer service supervisor. He admitted it was a very common issue and said they were only allowed to offer 5% off the $400+ console. I asked for the top CS person and got ***********************, who've I tried to contact multiple times with no response. I've learned that this is an issue across multiple types of machines from rowing to bike to all types of treadmills. So obviously this is a software issue and not the responsibility of the consumer. I would like the console replaced due to their negligent software update. Thank youBusiness Response

I purchased a NordicTrack Commercial **** treadmill and about two months ago the console stopped working. After multiple attempts to seek support using the online form and receiving no response, I attempted to contact customer service directly via phone. After extensive hold/wait times and multiple calls involving repeated troubleshooting steps that had already been attempted, it was finally determined on 1/4/22 that the console was defective and would be replaced under warranty. I was told I could expect to receive the replacement console in **** days. It is now more than a month later and I still do not have the replacement console. I have called multiple times and each time I do I am told that the warehouse does not have the part and it may take an additional 2-3 weeks before I receive the replacement part. On my last call I requested to speak with a supervisor who identified herself as "****." **** told me she would email me back if the part did not come in that week and we could pursue other options. Needless to say, I never received any email from ****. As of 2/8/22 the order status is still showing as "processing" and although I've requested text updates as well I have not received any communication at all from the company. A warranty does me no good if I am unable to get the replacement parts I need to repair the unit. At this point, if NordicTrack/iFit is unable to replace the console, I believe it should be their responsibility to replace the treadmill. The unit is inoperable without a replacement console.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: you are not honoring the warranty if you fail to provide a replacement for a part that is under warranty. Now that *** had the opportunity to do some research its apparent that there are a significant number of people who are having the exact same experience. Until you honor the warranty by replacing the defective part, you are in default on the warranty. The fact that you cannot provide me with any estimate of when I can expect to receive the replacement part is completely unacceptable.

There is a significant difference between resolving my issue and simply making excuses and providing formulaic apology responses. Directing me to call your customer support number adds insult to injury as I have already called numerous times, spent hours on hold, been disconnected, been given inaccurate information, and been given excuse after excuse. I attempted to resolve this issue via email, phone, web support ticker, and messaging through your social media platforms and have been summarily ignored.
I will accept your response when the issue is resolved and not based on empty promises from a company that has proven itself unresponsive, unreliable, and untrustworthy
