I purchased a Nortictrack commercial **** treadmill 5 years ago. I use it maybe 2-3x per month on average when I can't marathon train outside (due to child care, work or conditions). I have never used the iFit software that was included on the treadmill and use manual mode only for training. A recent update has rendered my console unresponsive - it is stuck on a white iFit logo screen and I cannot use my machine. This happened in the last week (it was realized on Thursday, Jan 12 2023 when I attempted to use the equipment when my husband was not home and my only option to run being home with my 2 year old was the treadmill after he was asleep). Attempting to reset or unplug the equipment does not fix the issue. My equipment is no longer under warrantee and has experienced the same issue I am seeing MANY other users are dealing with from online threads. I would prefer to just have a basic console for manual use, no iFit because I don't use it, but its too late because the auto-update ruined my console.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me, assuming the information they requested below is sent to them and they take action on it. If responding to this note with that information is not the right course of action, then please let me know the alternate route to provide the information to them and obtain follow up. If the case is closed due to me "accepting" this response to provide that information and no action is taken, I will submit a new claim until resolution is achieved.

Purchased a ProForm Pro ****i in 2019. Performed the required "update" that iFit offered and it rendered my machine useless. It will not turn on at all. This happened to virtually everyone that owns an iFit machine. Spent countless hours on hold, sent several emails that went unanswered, and now they said they are sending a new console but it is so far backordered - they have no idea when it will arrive. Some of the worst customer service I have ever received in my life. Ruined my training for an upcoming marathon. I have zero faith in ever receiving said new console and am having to purchase an entire machine.

I purchased a NordicTrack treadmill on Dec 28 for $2,728.44.I received the product and followed installation instructions but it doesn't work. I have followed all troubleshooting tips on the NordicTrack booklet, ******** and website and I have verified power is going to the treadmill but it doesn't work. I have spent numerous hours trying to fix the issue.I have called the company numerous times over the last 2 weeks and have been on hold for over 2 hours each time.Today I stayed on the line for 4 hours and finally spoke to a supervisor. They said a return requires a $250 freight and 10% restocking fee, which means a cost of over $500 for me. They require me to work with their parts&services team but I have tried that numerous times and have not been able to get a hold of anyone.

Hello-
We are so sorry about the inconveniences and the frustrations that you have experienced with the machine and the machine return. We completely understand where you are coming from on this matter.
We have sent this information over to our Billing team for you and have them further review your account.
They stated that there was a dispute submitted for the refund, which is currently still in progress. We are unable to release funds until the dispute is resolved.
The dispute process will take time to be completed. Unfortunately when a dispute is submitted, you as the buyer need to stay in contact with your bank on where the dispute process is at. We cant do anything with this account until the dispute has settled.
If you have any further questions, please call our Billing team at **************.

I am rejecting this response because: the credit card company has responded that I have won the dispute. Nordictrack contacted me on 01/19 with the (reasonable) request that the item has to be returned in order to receive the refund and details will be forthcoming. I waited 5 days to receive the email (01/24) from the freight company. I have called 3 times but was on hold for over an hour and had to eventually drop. I have a full-time job and these hold times are not reasonable. Today I finally spoke to the freight company after being on hold for over an hour. They do not have availability for over a week. Nordictrack is making it purposely difficult to resolve this dispute to avoid providing a refund.

Complaint: 18820805

I am rejecting this response because:iFIT/Nordictrack have shared that they are refunding me and only when they receive the nonfunctioning product back. However they are preventing the return. As I posted before, they delayed sending me to the shipping company, I then called the shipping company multiple times to be on hold for long wait times, and then had to wait another week for the proposed pickup date. Today I called out early from work to remain home for the 4-hour pickup window. The company never showed up. I called and they told me the driver was on the way and I would receive a call shortly. I never received a call nor did anyone show up. It is clear this company is working to prevent a refund of this expensive piece of equipment that has never worked.

Bought an ifit ProForm Pro **** Nov 2021. The warranty was good through 11/13/22. It started making a horrendous noise when used at 5MPH or higher on November 2nd. I've been trying to communicate with IFIT since 11/2/2021 to have the issue fixed and have never had a worse experience with a company. 11/2: Spent hours on the phone being told I needed to watch trouble shooting videos and figure the issue out myself. When that didn't work, I was told to email a video of the issue in action. 11/5: *********** had not yet called or emailed back, so I submitted the case online #********* 11/8: No response, so I emailed the person I emailed the original video to. No response. 11/18: I call again. I'm told the original video was too large. I must edit it then resend. Via email, they agree that there's a problem, order parts, tell me a tech will contact me. 12/2: Tech comes to repair (Foolishly, I give him access to the basement when I'm not home), he says the incline was off but its fixed.12/12: Issue was not fixed the very next time I used the treadmill, the noise was still happening. I send video to tech, he agrees he needs to come when I'm home. But ticket was closed so I must contact IFIT 12/12: I email my ifit contact who setup the tech visit. No response. 12/16: I submit a second ticket online, case number ******** stating the initial case was not resolved.12/28: I never hear back, so I call and ask to speak to a supervisor. I'm on hold for 1.5 hrs, no answer.12/29: I call again, share my story, am told that my ticket will be "escalated" and that a supervisor will call me back in 1.5 hours.12/30: I never heard anything back. I called back and waited 1 hr 25 mins to speak to a supervisor. I was told the ticket has been escalated, that the service **** needed to agree that a tech should be sent, that I'd either hear from the tech or from her within 48 hrs. 1/6 Never heard anything. Called again, wait 60 mins, no answer.

We purchased a treadmill from ************************* in 2019. The treadmill has worked great until beginning of January when the I-fit company pushed out an upgrade for the monitor screen. The upgrade made the IFIT screen start flashing. The screen was restarted multiple times and still doesnt work. The screen is the only way to start the treadmill for use. We are just requesting that the problem be fixed, so we can continue to use the treadmill.

I purchased an iFit membership mainly because they advertise that iFit will upload to GarminConnect (****************************************************). However, it doesnt. Even their technical support says it doesnt work and they are working on it, with unknown date of which this will actually work. This is false advertising and it significantly influenced my decision to purchase the subscription. I enjoy the subscription and dont want to cancel, but they need to issue a refund or provide free months of membership until this is resolved on their end.

I purchased a NordicTrack treadmill in August of 2020. In December of 2022, there was a required software update. I downloaded the update and it broke my treadmill. The screen would no longer turn on, and I would get a fatal API 3 error. I tried calling iFit multiple times over the following weeks in order to get support. They would either hang up on me after saying Id be on a brief hold, or in the rare occasion I actually spoke with a person, theyd say the only fix was to buy a new console, which was over $600. Ive researched this issue and this is an extremely common problem. After the firmware update in Dec 22, many customers experienced this exact situation. It seems that iFit has required an update to machines that were just outside of the 2 year warranty, then subsequently crashed their own system, resulting in each person needing a new console. This cannot be ethical, nor legal. I need resolve. If getting a new console is the only fix, iFit should be responsible for providing a new console! My treadmill was working perfectly fine prior to downloading this firmware update.

I paid for the extended warranty was around ***** I have a part broken on my x32I. My wife and my self-have been trying to get in touch with them for about two weeks now. We get put on hold for 1-3hrs also try the call back they hang up on people. When you talk to sales they say try calling first thing in the morning when they open. We have done that every time. No matter who you talk to they play the transfer game. It is well non for having bad customer service, but when you spend so much on a warranty and cant use it is wrong. I just want to get someone to talk to and get my product fixed. Have it working like it was when I bought it not the games to talk to someone. My desired Resolution is they work on there customer service The date is one of them is 1/16/2023 other one I can remember is 1/09/23 The bussnes is nordictrack/ifit there phone number is **************

This is regarding order #SO-2710780. My Nordick track Commercial *************************************************************************************************** early Dec'22. Based on internet search, I found that this error is a known error from iFIT and lot of other customers had similar issue. Equipment was running fine until this upgrade from iFIT occurred and my equipment. After multiple attempts to contact iFIT, I was able to get technical support and after a conversation stated I would have to pay $159 to have a support technician come to my house to look at the treadmill. The support technician came out and after some troubleshooting determined I need a new console and was most likely because of a recent iFIT update to their software that has been causing this with many customers. I contacted iFIT many times so far, opened case #ICS9577582 for help and even called many times. Hold times are usually for over 1 hr and then get disconnected and they do not even respond to case. This has impacted my schedules for over a month and I still do not know when it will be resolved. Terrible experience so far with iFIT support with no accountability and responsiveness . I would like them to send me a new console at no charge and have it installed as well at no charge.
