I have to say, this is the best update IFIT have ever released. It feels like I have a new treadmill. One thing that you didn’t mention was the greatly improved HRM integration. On the previous releases, you would have to connect your HRM. Now it just works and other recognises the device really quickly.
Totally agree. Sometimes you want to do a hard workout and sometimes you just want to relax. This update will make it much easier to get off the sofa and go and work out. Really strange but I just heard you machine beep and a felt myself suddenly getting prepared to have to work harder!
I have to hand it to NordicTrack, I didn't think they had it in them. I've got the S22i 2021 (I think) model bike and it's like a whole new machine now. I won't use the Netflix or Amazon stuff since I'm on a grandfathered USD 15/month individual plan. But the workout videos are pristine and navigating through the menus is extremely snappy. I can finish one workout in a series, close the summary, and get into the next workout in less than 10 seconds, whereas before the beta I'd be waiting at least a minute in menus for the interface to catch up. The new design and features are amazing, but the performance improvements are the low-key real story for the iFit beta for me.
Hi Steve. Thanks for your reviews, I find them very helpful. I’m about to buy a s22i based on these and others reviews I have read and seen. Is this updated software available for the s22i as well as the new x24 bike? Also, do you know of any iFIT offers available for subscription for 2/3 years? I’m based in Ireland. Thank you
Thanks! Yes, for IFit 2.0 on S22i, it runs really well on my 2022 bike. Yes, you can buy multi year subscriptions, keep an eye out for their Black Friday sale. Here’s my bike picks for 2025: Your 2025 NordicTrack Treadmill, Bike and Rower top Picks! ua-cam.com/video/VL_ozDqLRm4/v-deo.html
Same here, this is so annoying. It seems like iFit has reverted us back to the previous major version. The two things I absolutely cannot live with 1) sleep mode 2) stutter eliminated. This really puts me off ever considering an iFit machine in future
Beta is great but had to remove it, didn’t have a way to switch profiles. Also didn’t have an easy way to restart the training once it was paused. Hopefully the full version is released soon
How do you see your heart rate data while working out? I have the Smartbeat band and no metrics are showing at the top of the screen, but I do see the data registering on my heart app on my phone.
One more question Steve if I can. What is the versioning on that software. Just curious, I got my r35 recumbent yesterday and it would seem it is still on older software possibly as I wasn't seeing the Netflix App, Prime Video or some of the other features you were mentioning. Unless the software is still in beta.
Hi Steve! I'm hoping you can help me with an ifit app issue I'm seeing. I have the nordictrack commercial 1250 and I'm trying to use the ifit app on my TV for my workouts instead of on the treadmill screen. I noticed you have used the app on the TV as well. I searched for ifit on my Google play store on my TV but it is nowhere to be found. What are you using to get the app on your TV? Also when you use your TV, do you adjust the treadmill speed/incline manually to follow the workout ?
Is the Netflix update available with the newer models only? And do I have to have the ifit membership to see this update (I’m using a 2022 treadmill without the ifit app)
The Proform Studio 22 pro b8ke is made by Icon Fitness just like NordicTrack bike. Do you know if the same adding Apps sideloading hacking procedure can be done on the Proform studio Bike screen as well? Please advise, many thanks. P. L
Does anyone know why my S22i wont update to the new 2.0 ifit. I called CS and they said they would manually push the update to my machine. Its been two months and it still hasnt updated.
HI! after upgrading to beta version i used it a few times and went back to the old version like before. I want to ask : how can i go back to beta version again ?
I have the 1750 Nordictrack treadmill and it doesn’t seem like this will update, even though it’s less than 2 years old. Do you have any ideas about this?? Thanks.
Hey Steve, love your content as always buddy. UK here too, I’ve downloaded the beta version but no Netflix or Prime logos that I can see. Any idea how to get it on my S22i? Cheers my man.
I have the new iFit beta software update but I was wondering if you might know if there is a way to add UA-cam in addition to these? I don't usually use Spotify, but the big 3 I usually use is youtube, netflix, and prime. Thanks!
Sounds like everyone commenting is an existing user. With the iFit changes that occurred in March, it sounds like existing users are grandfathered in. New users seem to be getting screwed because they have to have the pro version to use the console or any features of the 2450. Are there secrets to getting the pro version cheaper. Like wait until Black Friday? Does your gift card trick work anymore?
I went to the gym from 2015 to 2017. I used bikes that didn't have a screen and I got into the habit of putting Netflix on my phone. I had to stop This year I decided to buy a quality bike for my home, I got a NordicTrack. It's really quality!!!! BUT I didn't get them for the training videos so I'm pretty disappointed to see that you have to have the $39 subscription to be able to use Netflix/Prime on the built-in screen...
Now if they would fix the ability to create workouts using google earth then I’d really be happy. I use that quite often and the update killed that feature.
You might be able to if the previous version of iFIT still an option. The new version in beta that offers Spotify and Netflix doesn’t support it but I do have the option on my machine to exit beta and restore old version if I wanted to. Just hope that when the new version exits beta that the ability to map rides is restored.
@@drbjapan Thanks. I will try that. Also, separating trainer voice & app volume is not what I was expecting. The new software doesn't allow as much control as shown on the software on Steve's reviews.
Why would you pay for IFIT Pro just to watch Shows you already pay to watch? Just put your iPad on a stand and watch anything you want. It’s ridiculous. The only feature I like about the Beta is create your own interval workout. And I can’t get that to save. Oh well, it’s only Beta right now….. 😂

Mine did to!!! Omg I was so excited to see Netflix on my norditrack !! Now I just need them to add the UA-cam app and I’d be in heaven!
❤️
Same!!!

Long over due. Sadly the software issues was one reason i returned my nordic track treadmill. Glad to see this is sorted. Makes me want one again.
That's awesome! thanks mate for making this known to me. Been waiting ages for a hopeful update to provide Netflix / Amazon Prime access.
Totally agree. Sometimes you want to do a hard workout and sometimes you just want to relax. This update will make it much easier to get off the sofa and go and work out. Really strange but I just heard you machine beep and a felt myself suddenly getting prepared to have to work harder!
I will now get a Nordic Track finally
So happy with this update! Great video Steve, thanks.

Ok so I was wondering why I don’t see the Netflix or Amazon prime apps and this must be why….i still have the $15/month plan.
It appears to have different trainers. I liked some of the trainers I had on the old version.
Thanks for the great videos, Steve. Helped me to buy an S27i, which I've just setup. But where is the Create Map option??
Awesome! Thank you as always Julien.

My 2450 upgraded to 2.6.89.4850 and now I don't have the apps on the bottom like Netflix and Spotify. Do you know how I can get those back?
Same here, looking for answers.

Both working fine now. 👍🏽
I had it but it has just disappeared do you know how to fix
Same here, did anyone figure out how to put it back ??? Help 😂
Same thing happened to me. Were you able to fix it?

How do I switch back to the new view? I can’t figure it out
I accidentally switched out of the new software back to the old. How do I get it back?
Is it for all nordic track ifit equipment? Does it work on the x22i?
Hey Steve, love your content as always buddy. UK here too, I’ve downloaded the beta version but no Netflix or Prime logos that I can see. Any idea how to get it on my S22i?
Cheers my man.
Apart from a software update, I’m not sure. Sorry. 😔
@@SteveJulien no probs buddy, thanks for finding the time to reply. They magically appeared after 48 hours.
Cheers Steve.
I have the new iFit beta software update but I was wondering if you might know if there is a way to add UA-cam in addition to these? I don't usually use Spotify, but the big 3 I usually use is youtube, netflix, and prime. Thanks!
Will they add back the maps feature that they eliminated?
Yes, I think so.
May I ask what the cost is for iFit for one user if I was to purchase a NordicTrack S22i?
I got an email saying I was chosen for beta but don’t have the update can’t wait
Oddly I did get the beta update for my bike and elliptical but not my tread......which is the one I use the most, of course, ha.
Has the create a route been taken away on the bike? Just got the update and Spotify also been added
So does these features only work with the Ifit subscription?
So the new software has these apps built in? Also one other question, Is there UA-cam by chance?
Yes, the apps are now built in.
More to come as well like Podcasts.
Not sure about UA-cam, but would make sense imo to add that too.
@@SteveJulien Nice
@@SteveJulien Sometimes I just want to put on youtube and rumble and even just put on music videos and do my own workout
How do you install or get into the beta program?
I think its invite only but try going into settings and checking your software is up to date.

I buy my subscriptions when I see a sale.
They seem to be a few times a year and my renewal falls around Black Friday.
👍🏽
Do you need to pay for a ifit subscription to be able to use netflix? (understand you would need a netflix sub
I went to the gym from 2015 to 2017. I used bikes that didn't have a screen and I got into the habit of putting Netflix on my phone. I had to stop

What about pro form bike same screen
Should be the same
I'm hoping they add youtube music and ability to add youtube for us youtube premium users.
Hope so too! Spotify arrived this morning which intergrates really well.
Now if they would fix the ability to create workouts using google earth then I’d really be happy. I use that quite often and the update killed that feature.
Argh! I bought an S27i today, mainly for that feature!!

Big deal. Use your I pad for Netflix. And Google Maps is now gone.
