This item was purchased on 11/26/2022 under two transactions for a total of $1,284.87 and was delivered to my house on 1/10/23. The equipment does not work and nobody will respond from the support site. That online chat is down and also not taking calls for both Nordictrack and Ifit.

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.

With this issue being wide spread, we currently do not have an ETA for the console restock.
We are working hard towards a resolution for this issue to hopefully provide more information within the coming weeks.
We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience.

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.
Sincerely,

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.

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.

I am rejecting this response because: once again, I dont have an ETA for my part. I need an actual date. I have a $1800 useless brick in my house. I cant exercise. It could be months before I receive my part. I want concrete answers. I am also paying for an Ifit membership that I cant use because I dont working equipment. Thats money wasted as well.

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.

I purchased the iSelect Voice-controlled Adjustable Dumbbells 7 months ago. They are still under warranty but they do not work at allcalling customer service is just frustrating. You wait on hold for a minimum of one hour to not get the situation handled. I was set by a ne ****** but it does not work at all. I want a full refund for the product. I have had nothing but troubled with NordicTrack products and customer service. I talked to billing and they are telling me that I can not get a refund even though the product is still under warranty

I purchased a NordicTrack treadmill in January 2019 and purchased the accompanying workout service, iFit, at the same time. Both the extended warranty and the iFit software have been renewed without a gap. On Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023 my treadmill quit working. I have tried every website, phone number and chat box to schedule maintenance:
1-18-23 - used their online request for service submittal form. waited 5 days for response. none.
1-22-23 - used online request for service submittal form again.
1-25-23 - finally found a phone number. called and was on hold 20+ minutes.
1-27-23 - tried website address offered by the 'hold' announcements. waited for an agent to pick up in the live chat box. nothing.
1-30-23 - found a different phone number and called again - on hold 17 minutes. Tried live chat box again and waited 20 minutes. Tried again a couple of hours later and have been waiting 30 minutes.

We purchased an S22i *********** on 1/16/2021 for $2546. 98 (including tax, delivery, 4 year warranty, and iFit extended membership). Order number is NT7484495. The equipment hasn't worked for several months; the console doesn't turn on and we have tried all of the reset options available on the iFit support site. We can't reach anybody on the site and the "bot" just puts us into a mobius strip of unhelpful and irrelevant information. We have waited on phone queues for 2+ hours on several occasions - due to "heavier than usual call volume" - and finally got through on January 26. We were told that **************** would send replacement parts and schedule an appointment with a technician to fix the studio cycle. Neither of those things have happened and we can't get through to anyone to help us. We have filed several online forms requesting support and gotten no response. Just this morning we were auto-billed $433.62 for an annual iFit membership even though we can't use the equipment and have reported this on multiple occasions. Order #IF24735295. So now we have to dispute that charge on top of everything else. Again, we can't get through to anybody and the chat bot on the iFit support site keep hiccuping and restarting and is of no help whatsoever. We are so frustrated. We feel ripped off and feel that iFit is a deeply flawed and irresponsible company.

****,
First and foremost, I just want to apologize for the troubles you have faced thus far in working with us to get your machine repaired. I assure you we know it is not always a small undertaking to be in touch with us, so your patience, and willingness to remain in contact is much appreciated on our end.
That being said, I was able to check your account for updates on the order. In doing so, I was able to see it appears the Console has shipped from our warehouse as of today, and the anticipated arrival date of the replacement piece to your home is Monday 2/6. This means the road to rectification is nearing it's end, and you should have a properly functioning machine very very soon. Because of this, I did want to inquire with you before rebutting the charge for the iFit Membership. Should you wish to keep the membership, I can ensure any/all missed time is reinstated. If you are still wanting to proceed with cancelling, that is also something I can inquire on for you. Please advise.
Thank you again for your outreach, and patience!

Hello, thank you for your response, which I currently reject since the issue still hasn't been resolved. I won't consider it resolved until the part arrives and the equipment is repaired. Regarding the iFit annual membership charge, I DO WANT TO BE REFUNDED because I already purchased an additional year membership when I purchased the studio cycle, which I haven't even activated because the equipment has been broken for the past several months.
Sincerely,

I purchased my NordicTrack Commercial **** NTL17229 treadmill in July of 2020 and paid $2299. Due to the forced update my treadmill will not work. It wouldn't go past the white ifit screen and now the screen is blank. I have tried all the methods to reset it. I have called the customer service line multiple times but I am unable to get anyone on the phone. Waiting as much as 3 hours before giving up. The machine itself is outside of the warranty however after doing research I have learned that this is not an isolated incident. This was a software update done by ifit pushed through to machines that caused them to not work anymore. The company wants customers to pay $500+ for a new console when the issue is their fault. Its not normal wear and tear, this was caused by the company alone. The treadmill worked without any issues before this software update that was force out and caused my machine to be unusable. This isn't right and their will be a lawsuit is in their near future.
