The initial iFIT class action lawsuit alleged the company falsely advertised its NordicTrack and ProForm treadmills given that they were incapable of reaching and maintaining the “overstated and inflated” levels of horsepower during normal operation. The case alleged that the “false and overstated” horsepower claims were designed to mislead consumers into believing the treadmills had much more power than they could actually deliver.
“Plaintffs allege that, as a result, they and other Class Members paid more for the Treadmills than they would have absent the alleged misrepresentations,” the settlement notice summarizes.
The iFIT treadmill settlement received preliminary approval from the court on September 17, 2024. A final approval hearing is scheduled for August 25, 2025.
It is typically after a class action settlement receives final approval from the court that class members begin to receive settlement benefits.
In May 2024, United States District Judge Colm F. Connolly granted preliminary approval to a class action settlement in a case concerning an apparent software bug that consumers claimed crippled the touchscreen console on certain iFIT, NordicTrack, ProForm, Freemotion, Weider, Sweat, Vault and SpaceSaver exercise equipment. The older iFIT settlement received final approval from the court on December 2, 2024.
The deadline to submit a claim form for the previous iFIT treadmill settlement is May 6, 2025.
In 2022, iFIT was hit with a separate class action lawsuit that alleged the workout-streaming capabilities of its fitness machines suffered from significant connectivity problems and could not “function seamlessly” with the company’s on-demand workout streaming service as advertised. That class action lawsuit was resolved with an individual settlement between the plaintiffs and iFIT, court records show.
