It also includes a selection of onboard workouts (Calorie, Time, and Interval) that automatically adjust resistance and prompt users to maintain target pedaling speeds. The console supports Bluetooth connections to tablets for use with the iFit app, enabling users to record and track workout information. Additionally, it has a sound system that allows users to play music or audio books during exercise.

This involves unplugging the power adapter, removing covers, locating the reed switch and magnet, slightly loosening screws, adjusting the switch's proximity to the magnet, and re-tightening.
Drive Belt Adjustment: If the pedals slip even at the highest resistance, the drive belt may need adjustment. This involves unplugging the power adapter, removing the seat post and various shields, loosening a hex screw, tightening the idler screw until the drive belt is taut, and then re-tightening the hex screw.
