Did you know that you can travel just about anywhere in the world right from your equipment? Outside of iFIT’s many Global Workouts with iFIT Trainers, you can also create your own map-based workout routes using Google Maps™!* Revisit your childhood neighborhood, favorite vacation destinations, alma mater, and more. With Google Maps™️, the possibilities are endless for your next workout. Plus, these workouts count toward your iFIT Milestones!
Ready to get started? First, we’ll need to create the route you’d like to use for your workout. Here’s how to map it out:
STEP 1
Log in to your iFIT account on your iFIT-enabled equipment or the iFIT tablet app.
STEP 2
At the bottom of the iFIT home screen, locate and tap the Create map icon.
On older tablet displays, menu navigation may differ. Consult your user’s manual for instructions specific to your machine’s model. (If you need a copy of your user’s manual, you can download one from the My Equipment section of your my.ifit.com profile or by entering your model information at this link and clicking View Manual. Your model number and/or model name can be found on the serial number decal on your machine.)
STEP 3
Your screen will display a Google Maps™️ view of a featured location somewhere in the world. Use the search bar to type in your desired location in the top left corner.
STEP 4
Once you’ve navigated to the location where you want your workout to take place, touch the screen at the spot where you want your route to begin. The starting point for your route will now appear as a flag.
STEP 5
STEP 6
When you’re satisfied with the route, press Save New Workout. You may change the title or the workout description at this time before saving.
You’ve now created your own map-based workout! Get going by tapping Start Workout to begin the workout you just made. Rather do your workout later instead? Press Schedule to schedule a date on your calendar for when you’d like to work out. Keep track of this workout and those you create in the future by pressing Favorite to save them to your list of favorites in iFIT. Work out in places you love or have never been to and earn iFIT Milestones along the way!
*Note: Only those locations that have been logged in the global Google Maps™ database will be available.
