LEARN More about why iFit
" I turned 54 a week ago, and just ran 3.08 miles up the Grand Canyon! 6 months ago I would have been posting these photos from the back of an ambulance on the way to the ER probably, but today, thanks to iFit and their trainers, I'm enjoying a kale salad with some turkey after my run and thinking I could have run some more! "
iFit Community Sharing
iFit classes range from Beginner — getting started classes to advanced sessions and so do its members who vary from early beginners to experts so there is something for everyone. Members constantly post everyday as they share their weight loss success, their plateaus and most importantly the latest destination series or new content the iFit trainers have created workouts from. You can learn something new or be driven by keeping up to date with group member discussion and information exchanges on the latest equipment, gear and some cool hacks.
“Looking for the next series. Suggestions are welcome! ”
“When you do get the bike, try the San Francisco incline series. It is sooo good. So far I have completed 5. ”
Members often ask for recommendations or advice on which iFit series to do next or what’s the challenge on a specific workout or how to get started. There is a lot of encouragement and high fiving via the comment exchanges on posts. The iFit community is an extremely supportive and good resource, even for tips on nutrition.
“Question on the 5k Costa Rica race series. Has anyone decreased their 5k time significantly after doing this series. I’d love to hear success stories?
I have seen my average mile time drop from about 14:00 minutes to 11:30-11:45 over the past 7 weeks
”
“After almost 7-years of retirement and two overseas vacations, I got on the scale 35-pounds over weight. Even though I had been “working out”, my weight skyrocketed. In April I got serious about losing the 35-pounds and I could not have done it without my X22i and the iFit instructors. I believe that I have my weight back under control! Now the real work begins, maintaining my healthy weight! ”

Google Maps

Vacations Inspired by iFit IRL
It is amazing to read and see all the vacations plans inspired by experiences with iFit destination workouts. So many iFit members are literally inspired to visit Africa, the Grand Canyon, Hawaii and Bora Bora after working out with these destinations series. It is a total difference to many other training apps out there.
While COVID-19 may have significantly diminished global travel that does not mean you cannot continue to be inspired and eventually be able to safely travel again in the future.
“Did the Iberian Peninsula with @tommy_rivers. I’m a beginner and he’s making me enjoy running.....and now visiting Portugal is in my bucket list!”
“Since I finished Mt Kilimanjaro yesterday and ran in the Balkans, today I decided to take a break. I went on a Safari hike with Jake. Figured it was a great way to officially end Mt Kili. Saw some Cape buffalo and got really close to some giraffes! Also, saw a pretty waterfall. I think if I ever had the time and money at the same time, I would want to go on safari. So beautiful! I really do hope we see more of Jake Norton!
”
iFit Members actually Summit Mt Kilimanjaro IRL (in real life ) inspired by iFit destination workouts
“We made it! We followed Jake Norton’s path until Moir Camp. He went up to Arrow Glacier camp and summited via the Western Breach. We turned left at Moir Camp and walked all the way around the Northern side of the mountain staying at Pofu Camp, Third Cave Camp, and the Kibo base camp. We summited from Kibo base camp via Gilman’s point, the same as Jake Norton, only he came from the crater and we came up the side of the mountain (6 hours of climbing in the dark). We then continued to Uhuru peak and descended the same route as Jake. The views from the summit are incredible. I will post more pictures when I’m home. I just wanted to say how much I love this group. I look forward to people’s updates every day and love how supportive and helpful everyone in this group is.”
“I traveled to and hiked in Switzerland CH after watching the @tommy_rivs series. Harder Kulm was amazing!
