The treadmill, when paired with the iFit app, is an advanced combination of fitness equipment and digital technology that delivers a unique, interactive, and personalized workout experience. Here’s how it works:
Connecting the Treadmill to iFit
-
Equipment Compatibility: To get the most out of iFit, you need a treadmill that is compatible with the technology. Many modern treadmills already have features that allow you to sync with iFit.
-
Installation and Setup: After purchasing an iFit-compatible treadmill, users install the iFit app on their smartphone, tablet, or use the treadmill's built-in display, if available. This is followed by a setup process that involves connecting the treadmill to the app via Wi-Fi.
Interactive Trainings
-
Workout Selection: Users can choose from a wide range of workouts available in the iFit app, which are led by professional trainers. These workouts have varying degrees of difficulty and different goals, from weight loss to building fitness.
-
Automatic Treadmill Adjustment: During a workout, the iFit app can automatically adjust the speed, incline, and other treadmill settings to match your current workout and your trainer's guidance. For example, if your trainer decides to increase the incline during a mountain workout, the treadmill will automatically adjust its incline.
-
Virtual Trails and Landscapes: With iFit, users can run on virtual routes displayed on the treadmill screen or on their personal device. This means running on famous routes and paths from around the world, which significantly increases the attractiveness and motivation to train.
Progress Tracking and Analysis
-
Activity Tracking: iFit tracks various aspects of your workout, such as distance traveled, calories burned, speed, incline, and more. This allows users to monitor their progress and workout effectiveness.
-
Adapting Training Plans: Based on the data collected, iFit can adapt training plans to the user's progress, ensuring continuous improvement and avoiding training ruts.
The iFit treadmill is an innovative tool for people who want to enrich their training experience. It offers not only traditional treadmill exercises, but also interactive training, personalization, motivation and the possibility of discovering new, virtual training paths. Thanks to this, training becomes more engaging, effective and motivating.
Treadmills that are compatible with IFIT are PROFORM and NORDICTRACK devices.
