On the Nordictrack.com website on the rowing page if you pull up the rw700 rower there is an offer for $39 for 48 months for the rower. I used financing on the order and placed the order. After ordering I wanted to look up the model so I could download the user manual and I found out that the company is sending me an older version of the model that is posted on their website. This is very shady as I paid the full $1941.26 for an older product than the one I thought I was receiving.Business Response

I purchased a treadmill from NordicTrack/iFIT on 11/25/2022 along with an extended warranty. It began to malfunction on 1/29/2023. It is unsafe to use. I attempted to reach out through a live chat to get help. No response. I tried calling but it was a Sunday. I waited until the next day during normal business hours. Still no one would respond through live chat and I was put on hold over the phone for 1 hour and 50 minutes. Meanwhile I kept trying to reach out through live chat. No response. I filled out many online ticket requests for assistance. I received emails stating my request was received and that someone would contact me. It is now 1/31/2023 and Im going through the same thing as yesterday; no response through live chats, and Ive been transferred by every human Ive spoken to back to the line that no one answers. Ive currently been on hold for 65 minutes. I called the returns department to request a return/refund but have been denied because its been more than ***************************************** purchasing a treadmill someone answers right away but then they tell me they cannot help me schedule a service call and transfer me to the line that no one answers.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:a part was ordered without knowing what is defective on the treadmill. What am I supposed to do with the part. I am not fixing the treadmill myself. I have a manufacturers warranty in addition to an extended warranty, which includes parts and service. I have not been contacted to schedule a service appointment. I cannot continue to call this company. Every time I call I am on hold for a minimum of 60 minutes before speaking to a person. Each person I have talked to does not know how or chooses not to explain how this problem can/will be corrected.

I purchased a treadmill in December of 2020.. This treadmill broke almost exactly 2 years later. I tried to contact customer service to see about having the treadmill fixed. I first contacted them on 12/23/22. Each attempt resulted in over 90 minutes on hold without reaching any individual, and unfortunately they are only available during business days. I tried reaching out via their online portal at support.ifit.com. This resulted in reply emails telling me to call the number that I have already been trying to call. Eventually I was able to reach someone yesterday who directed me to yet another number who in turn transferred me to another number. I have since been able to talk to 3 people over the past month of trying, all of which have transferred me to waiting queues of which I have spent over 90 minutes at each attempt on hold. I finally was able to get in touch with someone via chat who did not want to speak with me as my machine was no longer in warranty. I told them that I was willing to pay someone to fix the machine without a warranty. They advised me that:"We have a diagnostics service that you can purchase with us. The initial service visit the diagnostics will be $159 before state and local tax and any trip fees. The technician will come out to the home run diagnostics and try to resolve the issue. If parts are necessary to resolve the issue, the technician will tell you what parts. You will then contact us to order the parts and then we can set up a return visit for $65 as long as its within 30 days of the visit. Once the service is paid for, a technician will contact you within 3-5 business days. Payment for service is non refundable."then when I tried to schedule this, they advised me that "there is a $50.60 trip charge added to any visit they take.". They will not listen to any diagnostic attempts I have made so far to try to minimize trips. This, in my opinion is awful customer service, and essentially a money grab.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:The issue continues. It took over 1 month to get a technician on the phone, and I will not be able to get them to my house until MAYBE march. I have spent over 10 hours on hold, and continue to have to fight just to get someone to my house. I have already paid the company over $200 JUST to start the process of scheduling a technician to my house. Then It will take another $120 or more PLUS the cost of whatever parts they want me to buy to get the machine fixed. They have told me that they will only do diagnostics on the first trip, and will require a second trip. This is what they tell me over 1 month before they will even get a technician to my house. For a company that is BBB certified, they should be much more devoted to customer service, however this is by far one of the absolute worst customer service experiences I have ever encountered.

I purchased a NordicTrack commercial ****, serial number *************. For the last six months, the motor has been stopping when run over 8 mph even though the treadmill indicates its still moving. Recently, it wont elevate either. I have filed a customer service request for a warranty response. The parts should still be under warranty. I have tried their electronic chat, and it just leaves making out the computer. Ive tried their helpline and been on the phone for hours just waiting for a live customer service representative, and they always say that an agent is on the way and one never shows up on the phone. they are completely responsive to my request on their website and I have no way to contact them. Ive read on the Internet that other people have this problem and have been sent a new replacement motor control board. I am really just looking for them to respond to my request for assistance, but they just ignore me.Business Response

I purchased a Nordictrack Commercial ****, NTL14119.0 S/N KK641R0009973, on 1/3/2019. The system is still covered by an extended warranty. During the month of 12/2022 iFit pushed out an update that bricked my console. The treadmill no longer functions in any capacity. It is stuck on the iFit screen or a screen flashing between an android bot and supported api:3 error. On 1/5/2023 I was able to complete a warranty claim for a new console under Order# ICS9575427. I was told at the time of order that the console is on backorder. It has been nearly a month now and like so many other customers I have not seen a ship date, anticipated ship date, or any update from the company that the replacement console will ever be back in stock. This is a widespread problem for well over 3 months now and is subject to a class action lawsuit. The company has not publicly acknowledged this problem nor has it found a viable solution other than putting countless consoles on backorder. This isn't rectifying a problem it is kicking the can down the road and frustrating consumers. If consoles cannot be delivered in a timely fashion NordicTrack should refund the cost of these systems for the original purchase price or send out suitable replacements. No news is worse than bad news.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: This is not a new issue and this response was not a resolution. This problem was discovered in November ************************************************ December and January. Why with such widespread corruption why was this update allowed to stay in queue? Countless threads show iFit's unwillingness to replace consoles at the onset of this fiasco but overtime relegating itself to honoring all console replacements free of charge. The caveat? Not a single consumer has indicated they have received said consoles, regardless of exercise machine model. I've seen folks waiting 3 times longer than I have for their consoles to no avail. I am not as optimistic as the company that resolution will be identified in the coming weeks. I do know that I will never buy another iFit product and I will advocate against family and friends purchasing iFit products. When I originally purchased this machine I was under the impression that I was buying a quality product from a reputable brand. Unforgettable ****** learned here.

I have a Proform ****. The company did a software update that rendered my treadmill useless. There was no communication from the company that this happened. It was a nasty shock. It took me about half a day to get in touch with the warranty department to see if they could help me with the issue. I was shuffled back and forth. I have the extended warranty. They said they would replace the component. I have been checking on the website. The order is stuck "In Process." No updates. I tried reaching out via chat and I was shuffled around - again. I was given an email address to ask for help. I received an email back saying that the email address was not for the issue I needed help with. I emailed the right department and nothing. I went it to check the status on my replacement. The order doesn't show at all. I get "Order status could not be found." I called only to be told the wait was long. I called back again. Now they are saying the system is down and no one can help. I am extremely frustrated. They have handled this issue poorly.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: it is more platitudes from the business to skirt responsibility from their actions. The update rendered mine treadmill and countless others unusable. There was ZERO communication about this issue. Getting in touch with anyone to replace my part has been ***********************. My treadmill is less than two years old which still falls under warranty. I was told the part would ship in three to seven business days. Now there is no ETA? I am only able to get an answer after I complain to the BBB. I am paying for an iFit membership that can't be used. I can't trust anything this company says because it solves no issues.

Purchased an elliptical machine from business. Received a broken machine as the rep told me on the phone after doing a video chat. Refused to send me new machine. Repaired machine. Because of essentially receiving a refurbished machine rather than a new one I purchased an extended warranty. Machine broke down again after 7 months. Took almost 2 months to get them to send a repair person. I was told to call them after the machine is repaired so my warranty can be extended and the IFIT program can also be extended. I have called multiple times and different times of the day. I'm either on hold for ********************************************************************************************************* I can be put in a Queue and they will call back but no one ever calls back. And it takes 5 minutes to get through all the phone prompts to get to this point. The online chat is a robot, so unable to get through to anyone. And I have also submitted a ticket that I got an email response said my claim will be processed ASAP. Have never received a response to my ticket. I have also replied 2x to the ticket. It's been a month of this. In the meantime I'm paying for a warranty, my machine and the IFIT program. Will try this to see if I get results. I think next route is legal action.Business Response
