About iFIT Trainers

iFIT trainers seem super-human in the real sense of the word, by that we mean as they work-out alongside you – you can feel them working the challenge just as hard as you are. The trainers keep sessions positive, fun, and quick moving. As they say – "We guide and encourage you, but you have show up and do the work".

HOW iFIT ENHANCES YOUR EXERCISE EQUIPMENT

AutoAdjust and SmartAdjust

In addition to the vast library of well-designed trainer-led classes, iFIT Pro technology will recognize the type of equipment you have and allow trainers to make real-time adjustments to match the session activity as it’s happening. As an option you never have to touch your machine's controls so you can focus on your workout – iFIT AutoAdjust can change in real-time your machine’s resistance, speed, incline, or decline to match the studio workout or destination terrain you are running through, rowing, or cycling on.

Your instructor can dynamically adjust settings to synchronize your equipment with your personalized workout (SmartAdjust). Most NordicTrack and Proform iFIT users report they love these features, especially the outside destination trainer-led workouts. And we concur.

iFIT AutoAdjust - No Gimmick

This is much more than a gimmick, it’s the high level of integration with your exercise equipment and workout content that makes iFIT unique. For example, on a Nordictrack Commercial treadmill series or A Studio Cycle Exercise Bike you are truly climbing up a real slope or descending down a trail slope. This elevation feature is not a fancy gimmick, it totally gets your heart pumping, builds strength, stamina and yes, your quads will burn at first, but then you are rewarded with the downhill, which is super cool, as the bike or tread speed increases and the resistance starts to ease.

If you're not into this or a certain session segment is too easy or too hard simply make your own adjustment decisions, then later choose to re-join the session as trainers do provide a “heads-up” as to what's coming up. You can also decide not to use iFIT and opt out of taking workout sessions, and still use your equipment to make your preferred changes to speed, incline, or resistance as you go on your own.

CHECKOUT THE TRAINERS IN ACTION

Streamed workouts are motivating, challenging, and are effective. If you want to get fit, lose some weight and be stronger – the NordicTrack Commercial X22i or Commercial X24i incline treadmill with an iFIT membership is a great way to go if you like to run trails, hike, or power train with a 16-inch to 24” touchscreen.

Reduce, Even Eliminate Treks to the GYM

AVOID GOING TO THE GYM

Many people in-between gym sessions find it helpful to work out at home while some prefer to exercise from home 100% of the time. We are not recommending, not going to the gym, many prefer it, but in between gym sessions iFIT offers a lot between those visits to make you stronger, faster, and leaner and healthier.

With iFIT workouts, it still feels like your part of a group session.

The best part with an iFIT membership is you are working out with a personal trainer on your schedule, no gym hassles – let’s face it, gyms can be off-putting, maybe a little gross to some, filled with germs – a less attractive option than home.

It is so easy to put off a gym work-out, you have to get there, park, find open equipment, get motivated, and put aside the to-do list. With exercise equipment at home, you can work out any time on your schedule. Your trainer is always ready to lead you through a session at destinations you choose or in a studio class on-demand. And as an option, you can let your iFiIT technology adjust the intensity incline, resistance, and speed of your treadmill, incline treadmill, Studio S22i bike, Fusion CST Studio, and rower —all handsfree.

There is little chance you or your muscles will become bored with a vast library of over 10,000 workouts to select from (in various lengths and genres). Pick your favorite trainer and go. And remember, the 'Power of Incline Training' or adding extra resistance can torch a lot more calories in the same amount of time – you will see quicker results which in part can contribute towards improving your wellness and mental health.

iFIT Pro delivers exceptionally high-quality, well-produced, designed workout content, and why it is one of the best implementations of connected fitness for training with exercise equipment.

iFIT offers a large variety of equipment-specific and cross-training class options streamed to your exercise equipment. You never have to do the same workout twice — although we found you often do. There’s nothing like rowing in French Polynesia or hiking the Swiss Alps to get you out of breath yet take it away at the same time —the views are mostly amazing.

Overall, we found iFIT somewhat addictive following our favorite trainers, taking sessions multiple times without finding we became bored. We particularly enjoyed doing the Destination Series workouts like rowing on the water through the South Pacific, French Polynesian Islands, with Kevin Scott or walking on the Wild Side of the Serengeti African Savanah with Dr. Evan Antin. If you want some cardio but hate running, then hiking the Swiss Alps with John Peel or Tommy Rivers in Patagonia will do the trick, burning loads of calories, building strength, and increasing stamina.

Training sessions are interesting, intense, and a lot of fun, virtually exploring the world or training in a live event session — additionally, the ability to let your iFIT trainer dynamically adjust in real-time your type of equipment's incline, decline, resistance, or speed with SmartAdjust pulls it all together perfectly.

These options are designed to change your equipment to match the workout intensity or the terrain you are running through, cycling on, or as you row so you can focus on the session without worrying about messing around with any adjustments to speed, incline, or resistance settings, on your treadmills incline, or Studio Cycles cadence, or indoor rower stroke rate resistance.

iFIT Pro instructors mix it up for you to get in a full-body workout. With cross-fit segments added to many sessions, you get cardio + strength training. Trainers provide an experience you will look forward to more and more every day, as you see improvement and reach your health and wellness goals. So go ahead and crush it with iFIT.
