My NordicTrack treadmill was delivered 11/11/23. I paid $249 for white glove delivery and assembly. Upon delivery, the right fan was not operational. The left fan worked correctly. I emailed iFit on 11/13/23 and informed them of the problem with the right fan. The company requested additional information, including a video of the problem. I provided them with the information and the company agreed to send me a replacement fan along with installation instructions. I received the replacement fan on 11/25/23 but there were no installation instructions. I emailed the company on 11/27/23 and told them the instructions were missing. I received an automated reply on 11/27/23 directing me to a troubleshooting webpage that did not pertain to my issue. I emailed the company again on 11/27/23, told them their previous reply did not pertain to my issue, and referred them to the open support case (Case ********). At that time, I informed the company that since the unit was defective upon delivery and they had failed to adequately address the problem, I wanted them to send a service tech to make the repair. The company did not respond to my email. On 11/30/23, I sent a follow up email. The company did not respond to my email. I am therefore requesting that iFit send a service technician to make the repair to the equipment that was defective upon delivery. Again, I have the replacement part.Business Response

I used my treadmill last week. I went to use it yesterday and I got a message on the screen saying READING UPDATE.INI and now my treadmill is not working and your customer support team says that I have to buy a new machine. This is totally unacceptable. I did nothing to make my machine not work, it was working perfectly a couple of days ago and your company sent out an update and that broke my machine and rendered it unusable. It seems that your company has the ability to disable any machine at any time so people have to buy a new machine for thousands of dollars.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: I went thru weeks of talking to an escalated department because I sent an email to the CEO. They totally disabled my machine with the update they sent and refused to fix it because they say they can't.They offered me 20% off and are trying to force me to buy a new machine when I did nothing wrong and they disabled it. There is a class action lawsuit pertaining to what I have explained.
They need to send me a new machine.

Hi *****,
The software update you are referencing occurred with our newer models and has since been rectified. we have confirmed that a SD card that was sent fixes any software related issues.Where the console is still not functioning properly after the SD card was installed, unfortunately we have confirmed this to be direct tablet failure within the hardware of the console. We apologize for any frustration this has caused, we do not have the means to fix the issue and sadly the machine is no longer covered under warranty as this model is a 2014 product nearing it's end of life. We are unable to send a replacment due to being outside the manurfacturer's warranty. Due to this, at this time we will be standing firm on the offer provided. As we would love to keep you as a member with IFIT, we do understand if you do not want to move forward with purchasing a discounted product but if you decide you would like to in the future the offer will still stand.As of now, no further action will be taken and we will consider this matter resolved.

I purchased a Norditracj s22i in May of this year. The screen stopped working about 8 weeks ago. After a long back and forth with the company they shipped me a controller cable and I had to wait a few weeks for a technician to come and see if that fixed it. He arrived and said I needed a new monitor. Nobody called from ifit; so I had to call a week later and they informed me they would be ordering me a replacement monitor and it was in stock. I received notification that another replacement controller is being sent instead of a monitor. I’d like a replacement s22i to be sent and I can send this one back so they can fix it.Business Response

On April 12th 2023 I bought a new NordicTrack treadmill at DICKS Sport. The cost for this equipment was 1200 USD. After using the equipment it started to make noises and also it was deprogrammed. I issued my first complaint on September 15th (case number: ******). The company sent me some directions to reset the equipment and I was able to use it but the noise didn't go away. The equipment keeps doing the same thing I need to reset/reboot the equipment several times. Recently the equipment made a louder noise that came from the console and a new error message pops up showing that the equipment keeps stopping. On Dec 1st (case number: ******) I issued a new ticket complaining about the same thing sending a video with the problem. The vendor asked me to reset again the console, which I did and I was able to use the equipment but the noise problem didn't go away, but the next time that I wanted to use my treadmill the console showed the same error. I am tired of doing this process in new equipment. I am asking the vendor to send a technician with a new console but they are refusing to do that. They dont want to replace the defective console of my treadmill. I paid a lot of money for new equipment which came defective and the vendor must be responsible for their poor quality.Business Response

Subject: Malfunctioning Commercial **** Treadmill Under Warranty and ********************* from ******************************************** Details:Product: Commercial **** Treadmill purchased from Nordick Track Price: $2,500 Issue Description: The treadmill ceased functioning after four months of use. The issue remains unresolved despite multiple service visits by Nordick Track technicians over six months.Customer Service Interactions: Extensive communication with customer service has been ineffective. Efforts to escalate the matter within Nordick Track have been unsuccessful. There have been instances of the customer service team not taking my wife seriously and scheduling appointments faultily while I have been deployed out of the country. iFit Case #******** is a reference to our ongoing issues.Urgency: I am scheduled for another deployment soon and urgently need this matter resolved before my departure.Desired Resolution:I request a complete repair of the treadmill to a functional state, a replacement with a new unit, or a full refund of the purchase price. It is critical that Nordick Track adheres to their warranty terms and provides effective, respectful customer service, especially considering the difficulties faced during my deployments.Business Response

Dear Nordictrack / IFIT team,
Thank you for NordicTracks response to my complaint (Case #********) filed with the Better Business Bureau. The offer of an extended warranty and reimbursing the iFIT subscription are positive steps, showing a commitment to customer satisfaction. However, I cannot accept the proposal as it stands, since it doesnt fully resolve the main issue.
The problem is with the treadmill itself. Despite replacing various parts, it still doesnt work. Continuing to replace parts seems inefficient and ineffective as all parts have already been replaced once.
I suggest a change to your offer: If the next repair attempt fails, I request that NordicTrack replaces the treadmill with a new or similar model and takes back the faulty one for either refurbishment or disposal.
This approach offers a clear resolution. It gives me assurance while allowing NordicTrack another chance to fix the current treadmill. This fair solution should help conclude this issue satisfactorily.
I await your response and a revised offer incorporating my suggestion.
Thank you for considering this matter.
Sincerely,

Complaint: 20945989
Thank you for your quick response to my issue with the treadmill (Case #********). Although I acknowledge your recognition of my frustration, I am disappointed with the suggested solution.
The idea to "proceed as the technician suggests" and then "explore other options" if that fails lacks the definite resolution I need. This vague approach mirrors the past seven months of unproductive responses, leading to our current impasse.
Given the prolonged duration of this issue, a solid and decisive plan is overdue. A company of your standing should have already explored all avenues and be prepared to provide a satisfactory and efficient resolution.
Thus, I cannot accept the proposed solution. A clear and written commitment is necessary, stating that if the next repair attempt fails, a replacement treadmill will be provided, with a specified timeline.
Vague promises like "we will consider our options" are no longer sufficient. I am ready to take further action if a clear and satisfactory solution is not offered soon. I trust NordicTrack understands the need for a swift and effective resolution.
I await a revised proposal with a clear and written action plan.
Sincerely,

Purchased treadmill in 2020 the foundational base of the treadmill has failed. Cannot get anywhere with their "customer service" team. First call was answered by someone remotely and had to hangup after 3 minutes of yelling in the background. Second call the person had to restart their computer and was going to call me back - never called. Third one put me on hold and then said they had to have someone else call me back. They "did not have the option to transfer to the person that needed to speak" with me. Warranty clearly defines that the "frame" is warrantied for 10 years. The company is trying to claim that "frame" only includes a singular bar that is called frame, not the actual frame of the treadmill. The treadmill was kept in a climate controlled environment and was rated for 300 lbs. and under. Any use was by an individual that weighed around 160 lbs. There is no way that this part should have failed at this point. Model NTL14129.9 Key #39. An acceptable resolution would be to provide the piece noted above in order to complete the repair.Business Response

This machine was purchased September 9, 2023 and on November 11, 2023 it broke. I was sent a part and as of November 28, 2023 no one was contacted me to put it in. The machine is very cheap, it is the FS10i and is not made like the other machines, as I have a spin bike and a treadmill which are incredible and heavy duty. I am approximately 125 lbs and I was not using the machine improperly or doing anything extra with it, only how it was to be used. I called and spoke to several employees who all gave me the run around and told me I could only get it fixed and could not get a refund for the machine. I would like a full refund and for t hem to come pick up the machine.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
I would like to return the machine as the part that broke will continue to be an issue as it is cheaply made. I have two other items from nordictrack and have never had any issues. I had the product less than two months when it broke and used it approximately 6 times. I am very small female and work out 5 or so times a week. I did not do anything to it, it simply is cheaply made. I would like nordictrack to give my money back and take back the equipment. I do not want to continue to have it fixed that is unacceptable.

I am rejecting this response because: although you state I cannot return it, you also have not sent anyone to fix it and it has been almost a month. I have the part. So I have a piece of equipment I can’t use, you refuse to return, and I cannot use. No one has gotten in touch with me to fix it and I was told they would, but still have heard nothing. The product will continue to break as stated because the same part was sent again that broke the first time and it is still just as flimsy.

We purchased this treadmill back in 2020 and it has been nothing but problems, it was down for 10 months in 2021, then it has now been down again from July 2022 and still down as we speak end of November 2023. I have requested them to replace the machine because clearly all the parts they have replaced has not solved the problem. I even paid for the extended warranty. This last issue could have caused a very dangerous/ deadly accident I was pregnant was using the treadmill to get my excercise in and it randomly stopped and i almost fell off. I have videos we made afterward to show them. They supposedly fixed it but now it does the same thing again. My husband and I are afraid to run in it for fear of falling or hurting ourselves. We spent almost $3,000 dollars for a machine that has never worked. They have even had a repair man come to our house twice and he gets here and is like oh wait I’m not supposed to be here. The customer service is terrible. The only way I ever get a response is by posting a message on twitter. I can photo all the repair requests if necessary and send the videos.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
Attached is the paper work and photos that are on our Nordic account. We have sent this all numerous times to Nordic. This is probably one of the most stressful things I have dealt with, during two pregnancies. Almost being injured while pregnant and still going back and forth with Nordic years later. This has been a full time job trying to document and contact Nordic, for a machine we really needed. We purchased directly from Nordic because we wanted a reliable top of the line machine, that we haven’t even been able to use safely.

I am rejecting the company’s response to the complaint for several reasons. The first is that there was no acknowledgement to my injury when I initially wrote to them on their website. The second is basically them saying “oh well” to the broken bike piece that cannot be fixed. If you stand by your product and believe in your product and your company you shouldn’t have to worry about a warranty. The warranty to me says that they know there is fault in their product and manufacturing. I’ve read other reviews claiming that this product (exercise bike) is a piece of garbage. Wouldn’t said company want to rectify this horrible accident and make a product that you’re proud of? I feel like if a company truly stands behind their product then replace my bike. A replacement bike to me seems the only solution as my bike is no longer functional nor any replacement part can repair. Be better pro form, do better. I thoroughly enjoyed using this piece of exercise equipment and was getting into very good shape. The weight limit says 250lbs and I’m no where close to that. (180 6’1”) I rode the bike for maybe 3 months and this happened? If this were to happen to them or a family member I bet they’d be singing a completely different tune. An injury to a pelvic bone is no joke and incredibly painful and humiliating. It could’ve been a lot worse. What would’ve happened if I was riding the bike “out of the saddle” and the crank broke off and I wound up slamming my face into the front piece leaving me horribly injured and disfigured? I take pride in my belongings and I took every precaution when riding the bike and maintaining the integrity of the bike before during and after each ride. The warning label only states not to get too close to the wheel. There’s no warning stating that riding this bike may cause injury to a pelvic bone when “out of the saddle” because the crank/ crank arm will break clean off. Why am I being punished for their faulty equipment? This is why I’m rejecting their response. Do the right thing pro form/ ifit and make things OK. They want to call themselves a reputable company then do the stand up thing of making things right.Business Response
