iFIT gives you access to thousands of workouts, both on your machine and off! From cardio and HIIT to strength training and yoga, there are thousands of options available for you.
Library
The iFIT Library is where you go to find the perfect workout for your unique training regimen. With thousands of options available, we’ve made it easy to locate (and join) workouts.
You can filter by:
- Duration (20–30 mins, 30–40 mins, etc.)
- Trainer (John Peel, Tommy Rivs Puzey, Hannah Eden, etc.)
- Category (Running, Walking, Recovery, etc.)
- Intensity (Level 1–7)
- Target Area (Back, Chest, Arms, Shoulders, etc.)
- Continent (North America, South America, Europe, etc.)
- Environment Type (Forest, Beach, Mountains, Studio, etc.)
You can join a workout right from the Library, or you can sign up for an entire series. Here’s a great article highlighting detailed features of the iFIT Library.
Joining a series
You can join an individual workout, or you can sign up for an entire series. A series is a collection of workouts to help you achieve a specific goal. You’ll follow the same trainer in the same location throughout, building off of each workout as you progress toward your goal. The Series category page allows you to find all of the series that are available on your specific equipment. You can join a series directly on your console or in the iFIT app. When you join, the workouts will all be automatically added to your calendar. If you prefer not to schedule, you can add the series to your Favorites, making it easier to find and pick up where you left off!
