iFIT Treadmills

Some time ago we wrote an article about iFIT workouts (what are their advantages and weaknesses, how to install the iFIT LIVE module, how iFIT LIVE workouts work and what SD cards recommendations we offer). The article had a big success among our readers so we decided to add a second part which will be of great help too.

In this article you will find a list of treadmills that we tested and are compatible with the iFIT Workouts (cards or LIVE Module).

Because the list was getting too long, we listed on the first page the 2011 models and those we liked the most. The old iFIT treadmills tested are listed on the next pages.

This is an important article because, as we mentioned before, iFIT workouts are a cool feature but if they are not installed on the right the treadmill, the workouts efficiency is almost null. In some cases it is listed just to attract you as buyer, but it will not offer you the satisfaction you’re looking for.

Unfortunately, not all treadmills have the workouts included in the treadmill’s original price. You can see it listed in the specs of the treadmills but some have it listed as compatible (which translates into not included) and some have it listed as included. Even is included, the IFIT LIVE Module comes with a special subscription offer and you must pay attention to this too.

These are the treadmills we tested and reviewed together with the iFIT workouts. Read the entire reviews before making a buy decision. It will save you some money and time.

*Prices listed are based on the prices we found when the reviews were written. For price comparison with latest updates see the Treadmill Prices Comparison page.

2011 iFIT Treadmills we like the most

- Proform Pro 2500 Treadmill (iFIT LIVE)

This 2011 treadmill is sold now at $1500 ($100 less than its initial price). The latest iFIT LIVE module version is included in the console. The machine is worth your attention if interested in purchasing it.

- Proform Performance 1450 Treadmill (iFIT LIVE)

This model has the latest iFIT LIVE Module version included, and it comes with a fair price $1,500. A recommended machine if you want to buy it.

- Proform Trailrunner 4.0 (iFIT LIVE)

We found this model in sale at $1,400 and for this price you can buy it (the start price was around $2,000 when first launched). For this money you receive the latest version of the iFIT LIVE included in the console, with a 1 year subscription free.

- Proform Trailrunner 2.0 (iFIT LIVE)

This is one of the 2011 best buys from Proform, because of the 7” touch screen technology, the iFIT module incorporated in the console and the adjustable cushioning. At the end of the year you can find it at a great price too (around $1,300, depending on what Proform promotion is ongoing).

- Freemotion Incline Trainer Review (iFIT LIVE)

This treadmill resembles to NordicTrack X71 Treadmill review. Only that here the iFIT is optional and you need to buy it separately. But it’s worth the money. Incline Trainers offer excellent workout.

- ProForm Power 1080 Treadmill Review (2011 model) (iFIT LIVE)

You need the monthly iFIT subscription enabled. But for $1300 price this is a decent treadmill that can sustain basic workouts without problem.

- FreeMotion 770 Interactive Treadmill(iFIT LIVE)

The IFIT LIVE module is included in the console. This is a great offer (for $1,900) because you have the latest touch screen display, browser/internet capability and a good 5 year warranty.

- ProForm Power 995 Treadmill Review (2011 model) (iFIT LIVE)

This is a budget treadmill ($1,000). That is why the IFIT LIVE is not included. But you can buy it whenever your budget allows it because it’s a good bargain.

- FreeMotion 750 Interactive Treadmill Review (iFIT LIVE)

For $1,300 this is a good treadmill. The iFIT module must be purchases separately. But it’s a good choice if you want to add this option.

- Nordictrack C 900 Treadmill Review (2011 model) (iFIT LIVE)

For $1,000 this is a treadmill we warmly recommend. You must buy the wireless iFIT module separately, but you have the first year subscription of the iFIT LIVE included for this additional price.

- NordicTrack Commercial 1500 Treadmill Review (2011 Model) (iFIT LIVE)

The module has built-in iFIT buttons, but you need to buy the iFIT LIVE module separately. The experience was quite fun and interesting for the money paid ($1,300).

- NordicTrack Elite 9500 PRO Treadmill Review (SD Cards and iFIT LIVE)

The NEW Elite 9500 PRO model has the new iFIT LIVE technology incorporated in the console. You will not be able to resist the temptation to buy the subscription. And you shouldn’t resist. It’s worthy every penny.

- NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Treadmill Review (2011 model) (iFIT LIVE)

The iFIT LIVE module is included, so you don’t need to pay extra money. You have one year free subscription when you activate your account. All in all, this is a good purchase for $1,500.

Other iFIT Treadmills We Reviewed

- ProForm Power 990 Treadmill Review (iFIT LIVE)

The iFIT LIVE Module is compatible, but it must be purchased separately. If you want to buy this treadmill for this module, we recommend a better treadmill with a better warranty (NordicTrack Commercial 1500 Treadmill Review (2011 Model))

- Reebok V 8.90 Treadmill Review (SD Cards)

This is not a treadmill we recommend.

- ProForm 850 T Treadmill Review (iFIT LIVE)

You must buy the module and the subscription if you want to have this optional accessory. It’s worth the extra money added to the $1,300 investment for the treadmill itself.

- NordicTrack Reflex 8500 Pro Treadmill Review (iFIT LIVE)

The advantage is that the iFIT live module is already integrated in the console. The downside is that you need to buy the subscription to use it. Because of the high investment you must make to purchase the model ($2,000) this extra cost is not worth it.

- Reebok T 12.80 Treadmill Review (iFIT Cards)

SD cards are optional on this $1,200 model. You don’t need to buy the cards as there are 28 preset workouts already included in this model.

- Reebok R 5.80 Treadmill Review (iFIT Cards)

The SD cards are optional if you want to buy them, and they would work well on this model. But this is not a very powerful machine, so don’t expect to train for a marathon on it. It’s still a $800 model and has its limitations.

- FreeMotion Incline Trainer i7.7 Treadmill Review (iFIT Cards)

This treadmill is too large and too expensive to worth the investment in the extra SD cards. But it’s a good treadmill nevertheless for those who have $3800 to spend on it.

- Reebok V 6.80 Treadmill Review (iFIT Cards)

The model is low – cost (around $700) but it’s not a strong treadmill. The SD cards are optional.

- Freemotion Incline Trainer Pro Treadmill Review (iFIT LIVE)

The iFIT LIVE module device is included with this treadmill, but it comes with a limited monthly subscription. As far as the functionality goes, this is a very similar model to Nordictrack X7 Incline Trainer

- Freemotion XTr Treadmill Review (iFIT LIVE)

This treadmill works very well for $2000 and it comes with 28 preset workouts from the factory. You have the option to buy the iFIT LIVE module, but it’s not a necessity to spend the extra money.

- FreeMotion T5.8 Treadmill Reviews (SD Cards)

This model is slightly improved than the T 5.6 version when it comes to compare performance, but the iFIT cards system works the same. SD cards are optional and you must buy them separately. The treadmill costs around $2700, which is not much of a bargain. Even if the SD cards work well with this model, we consider there are other treadmills options worth looking into for this price range.

- FreeMotion T5.6 Treadmill Review (SD Cards)

This treadmill costs around $3000. The SD Cards must be bought additional to this price range. But from our point of view you don’t need to buy them as the console already comes with 30 preset workouts.

- NordicTrack Commercial ZS Treadmill Review(SD Cards)

This is a $1000 model. The price is decent and the treadmill performs well. You can buy the cards if you want to, but they are a separate cost from the treadmill price.

- Freemotion T5.2 Treadmill Review (SD Cards)

This is a $2500 treadmill with optional iFIT Card slot included. This is a little overpriced treadmill from our point of view, but if you want a reliable treadmill to practice iFIT Workouts this is a good model. Remember you buy the iFIT cards separately.

- Freemotion T7.5 Treadmill Review (SD Cards)

This treadmill has the SD card slot so you can buy the extra iFIT SD cards available if interested. It’s worth the investment from our point of view.

- HealthRider H95t Treadmill Review (iFIT Module)

This treadmill is compatible with iFIT LIVE Module which comes as an optional accessory and costs additional to treadmills’ price ($1,000). We recommend going with this purchase if you buy this treadmill.

- HealthRider H75t Treadmill Review (SD cards)

This is a $1,000 treadmill. iFIT SD cards are compatible, but are not included. For what this treadmill can do, we recommend buying the iFIT cards (we say they are not mandatory). The preset workouts selection is pretty good also.

- Freemotion X3 Incline Trainer Review (SD Cards)

This Incline Trainer is similar to NordicTrack Incline Trainer versions. The price is around $1,500 but the cards are optional. It’s a good purchase decision if you want to have them.

- HealthRider R60 SoftStrider Treadmill Review (CDs, VideoCassettes and Website Downloads)

This treadmill is one that comes with the first Optional iFIT workouts system. Its price is $1,500 (way too expensive). We confirm every iFIT system compatible is Optional (no workouts are included).

- Nordictrack T7 SI Treadmill Review (SD cards)

This treadmill is priced $800 (a decent value for the features offered). SD workouts are compatible, not included but they make a valuable asset to your buy because the preset exercises included are not very efficient.

- Nordictrack T9 CI Treadmill Review (SD cards)

This treadmill is $1,400 priced and has the SD cards Compatible (NOT included). It already comes with interesting workouts so it’s not mandatory to add the iFIT workouts. Still, they are helpful for those who want to follow a strict program and need guidance from a professional trainer.

- NordicTrack A2350 PRO Treadmill Review (iFIT LIVE Module)

This treadmill costs little, only $700. Nordictrack made it compatible with the iFIT LIVE Module (which is NOT included in the price) so that it can make it more appealing to buyers. Still, it’s a treadmill that can take little and it’s not built to resist long years.

- Nordictrack X5i Incline Trainer Treadmill Review (iFIT LIVE Module)

This treadmill is part of the Incline Series (together with X3 and X7 models we reviewed previously). This is the middle model priced at $1,600, but only compatible with the iFIT LIVE Module. It’s not included in the price. This is a machine dedicated to weight loss. Buying this extra module is strongly recommended. See the review for more details.

- Nordictrack Incline Trainer X3 Interactive Review (SD cards)

This treadmill is part of the Incline Series, priced at $1,400. The SD cards are not included, you have to buy them separately. There are some limitations you must be aware of, and we mentioned them in our review. But, in the end, is a good offer for those interested in losing weight and it’s worth investing more money in having the SD cards too.

- ProForm 1050T Treadmill Review (SD Cards)

The SD cards are optional on this treadmill. The price is $900 and it’s an offer worth investing the extra money to have the iFIT workouts.

- NordicTrack Reflex 4500 Pro Treadmill Review (SD workouts, iFIT LIVE)

This is a $2,000 treadmill and at this price you would expect to have the iFIT LIVE module included, but it doesn’t. Instead you have 26 pre-set iFIT workouts included in the console, which are enough.

This is a very attractive offer because for $1,300 you have the LIVE Module included. This is a treadmill we recommend.

The treadmill costs $1,000. It’s a very good price especially because you have already few pre-set iFIT workouts included in the console memory.

This is a $800 treadmill, with basic features. It’s compatible with iFIT LIVE which makes it an attractive option.

    @ Mindy, the FreeMotion XTr 90 Treadmill is compatible (but you don’t have the iFIT Wireless adaptor included). You have to purchase that separately, and when you make the purchase, you receive 1 year free subscription.
