Do I need an iFit subscription to use NordicTrack equipment?

Yes, one needs an iFit subscription to fully utilize NordicTrack equipment. While basic functionality is available without a subscription, including manual mode operation and some onboard workouts, access to the full suite of iFit's extensive on-demand library, live workouts, global workouts, tracking and other interactive features requires an active iFit membership. NordicTrack equipment is designed to be compatible and integrated with iFit, providing a more comprehensive fitness experience. Without this subscription, one won't have access to the vast array of workouts led by professional trainers that can automatically adjust the treadmill's speed, incline, or resistance during training sessions. However, for those not interested in such interactive features and content, the equipment can still serve its fundamental purpose for exercise and physical activity.
