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.

    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.
