How can I bypass the iFit feature on my NordicTrack T6.5s treadmill?

To bypass the iFit feature on a NordicTrack T6.5s treadmill, one can employ a simple workaround. When the machine prompts for an iFit activation, hold down the Bluetooth button for about 20 seconds until it bypasses the activation screen and allows access to manual mode. Additionally, some users may be able to bypass the iFit setup by pressing and holding the iFit or Bluetooth button as soon as the treadmill is turned on. It is essential to keep in mind that bypassing the iFit software should not affect the basic functionality of the treadmill, allowing the user to utilize the manual controls for speed, incline, and workout selection without subscribing or logging into iFit.
