Today I did a custom workout in the Workout Creator, which is part of the iFit Pro membership. I built a custom workout to make sure I pace my run perfectly, which is extremely hard to do outside."

I absolutely love this thing. It's been my biggest game changer for all my fitness goals."

Video: https://influencers.nordictrack.com/media/social-proof-media/71eeb45b-736e-3a02-a820-e5950043f8e1.mp4#t=12 ## FAQ ### Is the 40% incline actually useful, or is it just a marketing number? It's genuinely used β€” and genuinely hard. Athletes use it for hill sprint simulation, leg strength training for surfing, and hiking preparation, with one user describing incline sprints as "absolutely brutal." Another uses the incline specifically to build the stable legs needed for surfing. It's not a novelty setting; it shows up regularly across serious training programs. ### Do I need the iFit membership to get the most out of this treadmill? The treadmill works without it, but the iFit ecosystem is clearly where a lot of the value lives. Users describe the library as offering "thousands of workouts" including virtual outdoor runs like hiking in Utah and guided beach runs, plus the iFit Pro tier unlocks a Workout Creator for fully custom interval programming. One Ironman athlete called the guided workouts "a game changer" for marathon training. ### Can this handle serious, high-frequency training without wrecking your body? That's actually one of the most consistent things people bring up. The cushioning and shock absorption technology is repeatedly credited with taking the edge off hard efforts β€” one triathlete noted it "done wonders to keep my body feeling more fresh after long workouts," and another found it noticeably easier on the body than running the same pace on concrete. For athletes training five or more days a week, that recovery benefit adds up. ### Is this really useful for athletes who don't just run β€” like surfers or triathletes? Very much so. Multiple users are multi-sport athletes who rely on the X24 for cross-training rather than pure running. Surfers use incline walks to build leg stability, triathletes do post-bike brick runs on it, and one user trains for surfing, hiking, and a full marathon all on the same machine. The combination of incline range and iFit guided sessions makes it adaptable to very different athletic goals. ### Is this just for hardcore athletes, or can someone easing back into fitness use it too? It works equally well for people rebuilding from a break. At least two users specifically describe using it for gentle interval runs and steady incline walks as a way to "start back up again" and rebuild endurance without injury. The ability to dial in speed and incline precisely makes it easy to keep intensity low and controlled β€” one user put it simply: "it's not about being fast right now, it's more about showing up one run and one step at a time."
