iFIT LIVE WIFI Module

Comments about iFIT LIVE WIFI Module:

Took two hours to setup because the in-the-box software didn't establish the proper guidelines to connect to wifi. Multiple workouts disappeared from my history. Service from manufacturer is slow. I requested a refund for a membership I didn't need to buy and won't get it for 3-4 weeks. Ambiguous website, clumsy web interface. Google Maps feature isn't working per the rep until further notice. The rep didn't even know the module came with a 1 year subscription.

This product is very useful. It allows you to go at your own pace, but gives you verbal encouragment along the way to keep on moving.

The online iFit component is a neat idea - I don't always like the onboard workouts or get bored with them. Adjusting a workout manually can be a pain and I (like many others, I'm sure) don't always challenge myself as much as I could when adjusting the workout manually. The iFit component allows me to select from a wide variety of workouts and schedule them to my treadmill. This part I like, although the pre-programmed difficulties of the workouts aren't entirely compantible with my abilities.

For example, its idea of 'slow walking' is my moderate jog - I am only 4'10" tall and my little legs just can't walk that fast! So if I want a moderate walking program, I have to choose something a lot slower and it tends to be overall too easy and I end up adjusting the speed constantly.

The competition aspect was cool, too - I am definitely motivated to improve my time on that 5K next time!

I wish it allowed you to program your own manual workouts to send to the treadmill - I would design something perfectly suited to what I can do and a bit more so I wouldn't have to constantly adjust the speed and incline during a manual workout.

The connectivity of the module is spotty. Sometimes it connects right away, other times I have to let it time out and then reconnect several times (which wastes valuable workout time!) and a couple of times, I have been unable to get it to connect at all even though my wireless network is functioning perfectly. This aspect almost makes me regret spending the money on the unit.

It is good that the purchase includes up to four users on the iFit.com site, rather than just one.

The bottom line recommendation was a tough call but I would lean a little more toward recommending.
