IFit Module

Be ready for a project if you want to set up, install, and use this item. I read the reviews before purchasing and still decided to purchase this product knowing other users had problems. I am glad that it is installed but not sure that I would do it again.Setup took approximately 3 hours (including installing the iFit Wifi Module, setting up a workout program, and downloading workout to the treadmill).Instructions are included in product packaging and must be followed exactly.Setup involved disconnecting laptop computer from local network, connecting to the product Wifi signal, setting up the product through the new Wifi connection, signing into the iFit website, creating an iFit account, disconnecting from the product Wifi, reconnecting laptop to the local network, connecting the iFit Wifi Module to the treadmill, and then turning on the treadmill and connecting to iFit.The final step in the process is to download or create workouts and sync them to the iFit Wifi Module installed in the treadmill.After all this, the iFit Wifi Module still needs to connect to the iFit website (every time it is used) where workout(s) are stored. The connection works most of the time but not always. Please note that we have a very fast internet connection.

I saw all the negative reviews but decided to purchase this product anyways. I like that you can create your own workouts but my problem is that the wifi module can never connect to the internet. I tried everything when I purchased this product in Feb 2017 and eventually gave up 2 weeks later. I recently attempted to get the module working in July 2017. It finally connected to my modem once and I was able to download 1 of the default workouts to my treadmill. After finding the workout to be too too much for me, I turned my treadmill off and went to the ifit website to create my own workout. After I was finished, I went back into the basement, turned my treadmill on and I was surprised that it was once again giving me the "Low Signal" notification once again. At that time, the modem was about 6 feet away. I was determined to do the workout that I just spent an hour or two to make so I put my modem right ontop of my treadmill, inches from the wifi module.... Still nothing. So I give up.This device promises a whole lot. But it's like purchasing a great car only to find out that it won't start and probably never will again. Huge disappointment because I invested $1,000 into the treadmill because I could make my own workout with the ifit module. Looks like I wasted a whole lot of money. Please, PLEASE do not make the same mistake I did.

I was unsure if I should buy this product due to the negative reviews. Well, they are wrong. I bought it and love it. It only took me 5 minutes to connect to my wifi. Yes, when my treadmill lost power (I unplugged it) I had to re-connect to the wifi, again in under 5 minutes. I am not technically savvy, but I do read and follow the directions provided. The first day I mapped my neighborhood and walked that, the next day I did a hike in Arizona, the next a walk in Poland, etc. Next month I have plans to train with Jillian Michaels through my iFit module. I love that everyday I walk/hike/run in a different part of the world. I'm not getting bored and hating my workout. So far this product has delivered on all of it's sales pitches and not left me disappointed.

The module arrived fine and I plugged it into my NordicTrack T 6.5 S Treadmill. I was able to connect it to my wifi network ok, but when I tried to use the iFit, it kept giving me a "weak signal" error. I tried resetting it. No joy. I pulled it out of the treadmill, reinserted it and tried again. Still a "weak signal" error, even though the wireless router was 20 ft. away and practically line-of-sight. Lather-rinse-repeat. Then, nothing.No light. No error message. Nothing.Because this item came from a 3rd-party vendor, Amazon refunded my money. I am giving this item 2 stars instead of one because I did get a year's worth of the iFit coach service via the enclosed coupon, so it's no a total loss.
