Update instructions

- You can also see if the update is available on your machine by going to Settings (gear icon) > Equipment > Software Update. If available, you’ll see “Update available”. Select and your machine will begin to update.
Features in the works
There are a few features currently under construction. Updates to these will be coming soon, but until then, these features are not available:
- Map workouts
- Extensive workout history
- Ratings and comments
- Workout Creator for bike, rower, and elliptical
- Daily stats
If the above, “Features in the works,” are critical to your experience, we recommend waiting until a later iFIT update to switch to the new OS. You can choose “Go back to the prior OS” after your machine downloads the new update. You can also exit for the time being by going to Settings > Equipment >iFIT experience and select to exit.
Known Issues
Common issues we are working hard to resolve in future releases:
- Volume issues: The inability to hear trainer volume when listening to another audio source
- Keyboard issues: Issues with the keyboard when in 3rd party applications
- Heart rate metric: The heart rate metric is not displaying in the stats bars for some users
