Introducing SmartAdjust™ for Your Rower: iFIT’s New Personalized Workout Experience!
At iFIT, we’re focused on giving you a truly interactive workout experience. That’s why iFIT-enabled equipment automatically adjusts your resistance during your workouts. However, that experience isn’t just about rowing harder and challenging yourself. We’ve extended it to a new feature called SmartAdjust: our latest technology that tailors your workout to your individual fitness level!
What is SmartAdjust?
SmartAdjust automatically scales your rower workout as you make adjustments to the resistance, so you can always follow along with the trainer—but at your own pace.
Say goodbye to those constant manual adjustments; your workout intensity is now calculated automatically based on your previous workout history. With SmartAdjust, you'll experience a rowing workout tailored specifically to your fitness level.
Ready to try SmartAdjust? Join iFIT Trainer Casey Gilbert for an introduction to this new feature in the Intro to SmartAdjust workout.
Note: SmartAdjust is not currently available for manual workouts.
Equipment required for SmartAdjust
Use SmartAdjust on your iFIT-enabled rower or your iFIT-enabled rower that connects to the iFIT app on a tablet via Bluetooth®. (This feature is not currently available on phones.)
How to use SmartAdjust
First, verify that you are on version 2.6.70 or later. If you are on this version or later, you can try out SmartAdjust today! Here are instructions on how to check the app version on your equipment. Once your equipment has been updated, here’s how to use SmartAdjust:
To try out SmartAdjust, select any rower workout from your Home screen or Library.
Once the workout begins, you’ll receive a trainer notification during your warmup, informing you that we’ve taken your past workouts into account to craft a personalized session for you.
While SmartAdjust is on, feel free to adjust the resistance of your workout, so it feels comfortable for your fitness level.
Over time, SmartAdjust learns from these actions and caters the workout to your fitness level, balancing it with your trainer’s instructions.
You can turn off SmartAdjust at any time by tapping the screen, then switching SmartAdjust off in the bottom right corner.
If you turn off SmartAdjust, you'll return to following the trainer-led workout.
If you make adjustments to the resistance with SmartAdjust off, you'll be in control of your resistance. You can click the Follow Trainer button at any time to return to the trainer’s prescribed workout.
We’re always working to improve your rower workouts by raising the bar to give you a truly personalized experience. We hope you enjoy this incredible, new feature as you work to achieve your fitness goals with iFIT!
