As the ability to assemble your own versatile home gym grows easier with each new connected fitness product, we strive to keep you in the know about what products are currently available and what sort of fitness technology is at your disposal. One of the established fitness machines to recently gain a lot of popularity is the rower, due to its storability and low-impact training. We’ve compared a diverse group of premium rowers from fitness brands like Hydrow, Ergatta, NordicTrack, CITYROW, and LIT Method to help you see where they differ. We’ll begin with NordicTrack vs. Hydrow, and go from there.

NordicTrack and Proform are separate brands that are both owned by iFIT and connect to the iFIT platform. This means that if you are looking to purchase a new iFIT enabled device, you have at least five bikes, six rowers, and 12 treadmills from which to choose. It’s almost impossible not to feel overwhelmed! So today, we are going to focus the differences between the five connected fitness bikes.
I have been testing out both the Tempo Studio and the NordicTrack Vault for quite some time. Today, I want to compare them across nine different categories to see which home fitness studio is best.
Yesterday iFIT Health and Fitness, owners of Nordic Track, Proform, and Freemotion, announced a delay in their US initial public offering (IPO), citing “unfavorable market conditions that have investors worried about growing volatility in capital markets,” reports Reuters.
Today, iFIT announced multi-year partnerships to become the Official Connected Treadmill and Digital Fitness Content Subscription partner of the Boston, Chicago, London, and New York City marathons. iFIT members will be able to run all four marathons virtually on their connected NordicTrack, ProForm, Freemotion, and Matrix treadmills.
IFIT Health & Fitness Inc, owners of NordicTrack, ProForm, and Freemotion, has announced the upcoming launch of its IPO. The announcement included the plan to list on the Nasdaq with the symbol IFIT and sell just over 30 million shares of its Class A common stock. The IPO price is expected to be between $18 and $21 per share, which would value iFIT at over $6 billion.
The NordicTrack Vault by iFIT comes in two versions. One is the Standalone Vault that does not include any equipment. The other is the Complete Vault that comes with quite a bit of equipment. I am going to compare the Complete NordicTrack Vault to the Standalone Vault to see if it’s worth the extra $1,000, or if you are better off purchasing the equipment separately.
iFIT has set a new record for its longest on-demand workout yet with the release of the Kilimanjaro Half Marathon Race. The total duration of the race is 2 hours and 22 minutes, which breaks its previous record of 2 hours and 4 minutes from the Jackson Hole Half Marathon Race.
iFIT now connects to your favorite fitness apps like Strava, Apple Health, Garmin Connect, and Google Fit. Now, no matter how you choose to be active, you will be able to keep track of it all.

The Nordictrack Vault is so compact and tight that if you are off by just one notch when setting it up, you may need to re-do the whole thing. It took me over 30 minutes to set up my Nordictrack Vault properly to hold all of the included equipment. Now that I have, let me tell you how to do it quickly and easily so you can get yours set up in 10 minutes or less.
iFIT has launched a new app for Roku-enabled TVs and media players. Also available on Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, and Google TV, the iFIT app allows access to all yoga, strength training, meditation, pilates, and boxing classes in the iFIT Library.

The Nordictrack Vault by iFIT is a fitness mirror that also functions as a compact, freestanding storage system.

Each athlete has put together a collection of iFIT workouts for their own curated series, inspired by their personal styles and training regimens.
iFIT announced on Instagram today that they are welcoming a new bike trainer named Izzi Lynn. Izzi has been a Flywheel instructor since October 2017 and should bring a lot of personality and experience to the live iFIT team.
Unlike every other smart watch or wearable that I know of, the Apple Watch is unfortunately not capable of broadcasting your heart rate to iFIT Fitness equipment. However, after testing a few ideas, there’s one method that is by far the fastest and easiest way to connect your Apple Watch to any NordicTrack or iFIT Bike, Tread, Rower, or Vault.
For those of you working toward your free iFIT hat in the current Summer Camp Challenge, iFIT has an additional reward for you.

iFIT is known for having amazing scenic rides and a huge and constantly growing library of workouts. What they are not known for is having a good music selection. iFIT seems to be focused on changing that with a new update that adds 11 new music stations that members can choose from during their workouts.
ICON Health & Fitness recently announced that they are changing their name to iFIT Health & Fitness. iFIT is their software platform that runs on all of their devices and delivers thousands of on-demand and live classes. The name change could be for many reasons, one of which is their belief and commitment to the importance of the connected fitness space.
