Does anyone have a treadmill with IFIT? Do you have the full membership? Is it worth it....

    I don't have it, but I recently purchased a treadmill. I wanted to stay around $500 (because I've never had a treadmill at home before and I didn't want to spend a thousand without knowing how often I'd use it). I did tons of research and it came down to the iFit-friendly Proform or the Horizon. Ultimately, I decided the iFit was kind of gimicky. I just wanted a reliable, sturdy treadmill. So I went with the Horizon. It's only been about two weeks, but I love it! I am so impressed by how quality it is. I think I paid about $650 on Amazon for it. They brought it right to my door within days. I set up my laptop and play "Biggest Loser" episodes while I run on it every morning. So I still get Jillian Michaels yelling at me and motivating me. :)

    I bought my treadmill last year and got the first year of ifit free. I LOVE it! The programs are nice and I love mapping out my own trails. Now, the last few months they changed their website and there was a lot of problems but I think they have finally got it figured out. I would say it is definitely worth it. I think you can get a month to month subscription to try it out.

    No one is as motivational as Jillian Michaels... Congrats on your upcoming wedding!!!

    My favorite part of it is being able to map my own workouts. I have a 5K coming up in a couple of weeks and with the weather haven't been able to get outside so I mapped the trail and it does all the inclines and declines so I can prepare for my run.

    I just got an iFit treadmill last week, and I think the service is appalling. I wrote a post on it - http://www.kestrel.org/?p=32732. I'm so, so disappointed with it.

    Couldn't agree more! We set up a home gym and I watch reruns of "Biggest Loser" while I'm on my treadmill. I also find the contestants motivating. I keep telling myself, if they can lose 20 pounds in a week I can do it in a year!

    I have a nordic Track with iFit. It came with a full years membership. I enjoyed the idea of running races against other runners, the auto elevation changes, etc. The only issue is that I tend to do 98% of my running outside so when it came to renewing the membership it wasn't worth it for me. But if I did use the treadmill more I definitely would would have renewed. Nordic track's service for me has been exceptional, I never dealt directly with iFit so I can't comment on that.
