If you have a bike or a treadmill from ProForm, you probably know about the new iFit Live function that comes on your equipment – and if not, you’re going to want to know. This app is also accessible through your smart devices such as phones and tablets and introduces a world of virtual training at your fingertips.
iFit Live brings a trainer into your home, coaching you through a workout and, if needed, adjusting the intensity level of your exercises to help you reach your goals. This feature is available on ProForm equipment and will elevate your workout to new heights.
How to Connect
Once you access iFit Live on your fitness equipment through your high definition touchscreen or your phone or tablet, you can see the workout schedule for the day. By clicking the “On Air” button, you can see various workouts – and the corresponding coaches – that are available to choose from.
Once you find an activity you want to participate in, join it, and then you’re ready to lace up your sneakers and get your heart pumping! This can be from your bike, rower, treadmill, elliptical, or even resistance training workouts.
There is one exception to this access. If you’re viewing an iFit Live workout from your phone, all of the accessibility still applies. However, if you want to do a treadmill style workout on your elliptical, then you need to choose “treadmill” as your exercise machine of choice to sign in and see the proper schedule for the day. Other than that, everything is the same!
Benefits of iFit Live
With trainers, locations, and multiple workouts at your fingertips, you won’t be lacking for variety and motivation with iFit Live. Let’s check out some of the more intricate benefits of this program, so you’ll know what to look for when accessing the app through your phone or machine.
For one, the trainer for your chosen class/workout can adjust the controls on your machine automatically. This is helpful in multiple ways. Not only does this lessen the time that you’re fiddling with the controls on your machine, but it can provide motivation–especially if you’re tempted to stay at one intensity level for an extended period (remember, change in intensity level is a good thing).
Another bonus to iFit Live is the ability to do your workouts in virtual locations worldwide. If a change of scenery in each workout boosts your motivation, then the outdoor options are fantastic.
This feature allows you to follow various trainers in different locations across the globe, letting you experience a workout “outside” while going through a new neighborhood, walking trail, or mountain hike…. all from the comfort of your treadmill, bike, elliptical, or rower.
Lastly – but certainly not least – you’re able to compete with others virtually. This is perfect if you have a competitive nature and want a little good-natured contest with other participants. With a Live workout, you’re able to access leaderboards with filters for “Today” and “Right Now,” letting you see who’s in the lead in your workout and possibly giving you a bit of a boost to push a little harder.
With all of these benefits and more at your disposal, accessing iFit Live and the corresponding workouts – including ones like yoga and resistance training – will take your workout to a level you didn’t think possible without a pricey personal trainer at your side. So, enjoy the new iFit Live, and be ready to crush your workout goals every day.
