Getting to know the Dashboard on your machine

When it comes to using your iFIT-enabled equipment, think of your machine’s Dashboard as “command central.” Once you log in to your account, the Dashboard will populate with your scheduled workouts, suggestions for workouts based on your recent activity, and it also allows you to explore new workouts. 

The Dashboard lets you search for workouts using criteria like trainer, workout type, and even workout length. You can browse the Library to find your next workout, join a series, and even join a Live Event.

If you have signed up for a workout series, the next scheduled workout will appear first on the screen, so you can pick up right where you left off. It will also populate with other workouts you might like, based on your recent activity, so you can try something new!
