Calling all iFIT champions — the March Champion Challenge is finally here! This month, you’ll have the chance to awaken your inner champion and work out with winter’s top athletes. Accept the challenge to train like an elite athlete when you join one of five all-new series for treadmill, elliptical, strength, rower, and bike.
The March Challenge is all about going the distance for your finisher’s medal. You’ll earn medals based on the number of workouts you complete in your chosen series. Here’s the breakdown:
16 workouts = Sapphire
12-15 workouts = Silver
8-11 workouts = Bronze
Once you’ve completed eight workouts, you’ll earn a bronze medal. But why stop there? Keep working for silver, and then press on for sapphire! Although you can only earn one medal per Challenge, you can collect more medals if you join multiple Challenges across equipment types. For example, you can earn a sapphire medal for treadmill and a silver medal for strength. Have a question about how Challenges work? Read the Challenges FAQ for more information. Plus, keep watching for more information on how we’re continuing to improve rewards!

Champion Challenge FAQs
I’ve completed eight workouts but did not receive a redemption email for a bronze medal. What do I do now?
To give everyone a chance to complete 16 workouts and earn a sapphire medal, you will not receive a redemption email until April 4. This means that those who have completed eight or 12 workouts will not receive a redemption email until April 4. However, those who complete all 16 workouts will get their redemption email immediately. Be sure to sign up for iFIT push notifications, which will notify you when you’ve completed eight, 12, and 16 workouts for the Champion Challenge.
What happens if I completed a number of workouts between 8, 12, and 16?
Let’s say you worked through 13 workouts. Because that’s more than 12 but less than 16, you’ll have earned a silver medal. For the bronze medal, the range is 8 to 11 workouts. For the silver medal, the range is 12 to 15 workouts. You can only earn a sapphire medal by completing 16 workouts in your selected challenge.
How can I earn multiple medals for the Champion Challenge?
You can earn a bronze, silver, and sapphire medal by joining three different Champion Challenge series. While you can only earn one medal per Challenge, you can hop into more Challenges to earn all three Champion Challenge medals! For example, you could complete 16 treadmill workouts and 12 rowing workouts to earn a sapphire and a silver medal. Another instance could be doing 12 strength workouts and eight elliptical workouts for a silver and a bronze medal.
How do I redeem multiple Champion Challenge rewards?

What if I don't own other equipment but want to earn all the medals?
You can be a part of the action even if you don’t own iFIT-enabled equipment! The Champion Challenge can be completed unpaired, meaning you can take on the Champion Challenge: Treadmill by walking outside or the Champion Challenge: Bike on a bike in your local gym.

How to Bring Your A-Game to the Train for a Tour Series (Part 1/3)
If you’re familiar with the cycling world and follow European racing, you may have come across both myself and the team I coach, the UAE Team Emirates. I’m Kevin Poulton and have coached for nearly 25 years, specializing in Spring Classics riders and sprinters. In that time, I’ve been fortunate to coach elite World Tour professionals and work with some of the best teams in the sport. My athletes have secured victories in Paris-Roubaix, Tour de France stage wins, World Championship Road Race podiums, and multiple Spring Classics podiums. And now, you’re my next athlete! The Series Structure I designed the Train for a Tour Series much like the programs I use at UAE Team Emirates’ training camps. Over six weeks, your iFIT Trainers (all of which are pro cyclists themselves) will run you through an immersive World Tour pre-season experience. You’ll train in Mallorca, Spain, as it is the ultimate training destination for professionals. Every winter, World Tour teams flock to the island for their pre-season camps, and for good reason. The terrain is incredibly diverse, offering long, steady climbs, rolling hills, and flat coastal roads—exactly what’s needed to develop all aspects of cycling fitness. The Train for a Tour Series gradually builds in intensity, taking you from controlled endurance efforts to high-powered, race-specific efforts. The workouts follow a carefully structured progression: Early Weeks: Lower-intensity, steady-state efforts with proper recovery, laying the foundation for improved aerobic endurance and efficiency.Mid-Series: More focused interval work, targeting different energy systems, including fast-twitch muscle activation, anaerobic power, and high-intensity efforts.Final Weeks: Race-like sessions, including VO2 max intervals, lactate tolerance efforts, and short recoveries, mimicking the demands of competition. If you follow my training program as I’ve laid out (and you ensure that the SmartAdjust™ feature on your bike is on), you can expect to see improvements in your cycling performance, endurance, and ability to sustain high-intensity efforts.
