It’s been an up-and-down journey over the last four years with my NordicTrack x32i treadmill and NordicTrack bike—but today, I can confidently say it’s been worth it.
When I first brought them home, I was blown away. The large, immersive screens and the world-class iFIT instructors instantly elevated my workouts. The trainers are truly best-in-class—engaging, motivating, and incredible storytellers. They take you around the world while pushing you to be better, and they genuinely make you want to get on your treadmill or bike multiple times a week.
There was a stretch—about a year—where I experienced frustrating shutdown issues with my treadmill. Workouts would cut off mid-session, and it tested my patience. I went through multiple troubleshooting steps, from upgrading my WiFi hardware to reinstalling software and applying firmware updates. It wasn’t easy. But once everything was resolved, the experience returned to being seamless and reliable. Since then, my workouts have been smooth and consistent.
The only other area that could impact a star rating is the subscription cost. To unlock the full power of the machine, you need the iFIT membership, and it is an investment—comparable to some gym memberships. While you can still use the treadmill without it (and I’ll say, the cushioning is excellent and easy on the knees, with solid metric tracking), you miss the immersive, motivating experience that truly makes this equipment special.
Last year, when I was considering canceling, I received a call from an iFIT representative, Jonah G. That call changed everything. He offered me a rate that made the subscription much more affordable and followed up to make sure I was enjoying the service. I’ve honestly never experienced that level of proactive, thoughtful customer service. Jonah also introduced me to a heart rate monitor promotion, which has been a complete game changer for my motivation and performance. His support made a real difference—thank you, Jonah!
With everything considered, I give NordicTrack and the iFIT subscription 5 stars. If you struggle with motivation, consistency, physical health, or even mental health, this setup can be transformational. Whether your goal is to walk your first mile or train for a marathon, there are structured programs that will guide you, push you, and help you stay accountable.
For me, it’s more than just equipment—it’s become a long-term investment in my health and I wanted to share my experience. I hope it helps those of you out there trying to decide if these products are right for you.
