iFIT At-Home Workout & Fitness 4+

I started using the app seriously about 3 years ago at the age of 56. My wife had been diagnosed with ALS and I needed to make sure I was in my best shape to take care of her. I had a hybrid elliptical / recumbent bike and a treadmill that had not been used in a few years. I started with Stacie Clark and CrossFit workouts on the elliptical. I tried some of the bike workouts too. Then, I discovered Tommy Rivers Puzey and his Iberian series. That motivated me to move from the elliptical. I cleared off the treadmill and started running again. In 6 months I dropped 20 pounds and was ready for my first 5k in over 20 years. I came in under 30 minutes and that was a huge personal victory for me. When I got home from it, I gave the finisher medal to my wife. We’ve built up a collection of them now from 5k and 7k races I’ve run, sometimes with our adult children trying to keep up with the “old man”. The variety of trainers and activities keep me going. I replaced the hybrid with an elliptical and the s22i bike, and added a rower. I was prompted to write this review after finishing one of Alex Gregory’s sessions rowing off the coast of Brazil. I get up early to start my day with some “me” time and I have iFit to thank for having so many options with one app for all of the equipment.

The iFIT app is a good tool for fitness. There is a great variety in the workouts offered. Most of the trainers are very personable and knowledgeable. My personal preference is for the on-location workouts as versus the studio ones. Except for a few exceptions, the camera work and the fitness training offered in these workouts, filmed in beautiful locales are a great motivator for getting on your exercise equipment. Recent updates have made it easier to tailor the workout audios to one’s own preferences. The smart adjust option doesn’t work effectively and often “dumbs down” a workout so one has to be constantly aware of that. Otherwise you may find yourself climbing at an incline of 3, for example, when in reality 12 is more up to your level. But DO NOT expect to be rewarded. IFIT puts up these rewards as motivators for completing workouts. However, we have not received a single one of them. There are no free flags, or tshirts to be had, doesn’t matter if your app is telling you that you have earned a reward. Contacting customer service is going to yield nothing but stress. So yes, get the app if you want to get some good workouts in, but get your own motivators in place because the ones offered by iFIT are just illusionary hogwash. Update: iFIT solution to unreceived rewards—make the whole reward system disappear. There are only badges and digital trophies for challenges completed.

Okay, I want to start with the positive. The iFIT program is great. The trainers are great, and the equipment is works will with the program. However, there is a lot of room for improvement in the app. The app has 2 big problems. 1) An incoming phone call can interrupt the program, cause it to stop or pause or go out of sync with the workout on the app, and there is no way to fast-forward to resync. Your only option is to start over from the beginning sometimes. 2) The navigation for searching for a workout needs to be simplified. If you want to follow 2 different series at the same time, or jump out of your current series to do a quick one-off workout, it is difficult to go back and find the series you were working on. There should be a simple way to browse “recently played” workouts, similar to how music apps work. There should also be a way to easily find a 20 min or 30 min workout with your favorite trainer through a search. Sometimes it takes 10 mins to find a good workout, which is not good when you only had 30 mins to spare to workout in the first place. The search need to just be enhanced to allow easy finding of workout programs by time, type (walking/running), intensity, trainer, etc. And you should be able to save your favorite search options.

We are so grateful you left this feedback! We’re constantly striving to improve the app, and this information helps us better understand issues affecting our members.
