iFit announces new Tommy Rivers Boston Marathon Series drops September 7, 2022

Experience the Boston Marathon

The Boston Marathon® Experience with iFIT Trainer Dr. Tommy Rivers Puzey will officially be available for iFit members on Sept. 7, 2022. For 7 workouts, you’ll work through walk-jog intervals, with each workout lasting about 45-60 minutes.

This new marathon series is where Endurance athlete, and ultra-champion marathon runner, Tommy Rivers, runs and walks the 2022 Boston Marathon in 6 Hours, 31 minutes, and 54 seconds. An incredible feat considering he was still recovering from a rare form of cancer, spending nearly three months on life support.

Over 7 million iFit members will have the chance to work out alongside Rivs, as he is affectionally referred to, as he participates in the Boston Marathon. iFIT’s interactive personal trainer platform and app deliver the actual “race day” experience, with Puzey as your iFit guide and trainer. See and hear the sights and experience the energy of other runners and the spectators along course segments.

This Challenge is for everyone—walk, jog, or run this race with Tommy Rivs Puzey. As Rivs’ says, “consistency is key,” and showing up is half of the battle. Plus, you’ll have two months to take it at your own pace, so take advantage of the extra time and earn your reward. Access it on your treadmill, elliptical, or the iFIT app. You have until complete the 7 workout Challenge by EOD on November 6 at 11:59 p.m. PT to be entered into the drawing and earn the Trophy Case reward.

Need a little motivation to hop into the Challenge? Once you’ve completed the Challenge and received your Trophy Case reward, you’ll receive automatic entry into a drawing to win Tommy Rivs’ signed 2022 Boston Marathon® race bib and other race swag! *

iFit Enabled Equipment

iFIT ENHANCES YOUR EQUIPMENT. If your exercise equipment is iFit enabled then your trainer can digitally adjust your treadmill to synchronize incline, decline, or speed, with the workout you are taking or the terrain you are running, walking, or hiking through in real-time— a very popular feature, by the way, referred to as Trainer Live Control or AutoAdjust.

iFIT-enabled treadmills will have members feeling the famous challenging hills of Boston, as iFIT technology dynamically adjusts your type of equipment to match the terrain along with speed throughout the marathon, including the Mile 18 Heartbreak Hill. 

The iFIT Boston Marathon race series will be available on demand, and the 26.2 miles is broken-out into multi-part series. Members can stream from their smartphone via Apple TV or Google Chromecast for a big-screen TV experience

“We are honored to have Rivs, loved by our seven million members and the global running community, lead our Boston Marathon race series, His comeback and his perseverance deeply inspire anyone facing obstacles in his life.”
— Mark Watterson, iFIT President and Chief Experience Officer

A Comeback against the Odds

While his doctors agree that Puzey’s survival was a medical miracle, they acknowledge that his eventual recovery may be due in part to his elite level of fitness before he was diagnosed. Since leaving the hospital, training has been a way for him to regain basic levels of physical function.

Puzy. I hope those who make this series are encouraged to know that sometimes progress is slow, but just moving forward is sometimes enough. I know I am one of the lucky ones, to still be alive.

iFit Boston Marathon

Puzey had been planning the Boston Marathon as the natural next step in his recovery after the New York City Marathon last November. He accepted the invitation to partner with iFIT to share this journey with the tens of thousands of iFIT members who lifted him and his family with love and support during his months of illness.

iFIT will offer the Boston Marathon race series as a multi-part, on-demand exercise series starting September 7, 2022, for iFIT-enabled NordicTrack, ProForm, and Freemotion treadmills.
