NordicTrack/iFit is a great example of equipment manufacturers that just don't get it.

How do you mean? Just curious because my wife, who always hated running, is killing it with a NordicTrack treadmill and iFit. She bought a shirt to support her favorite instructor, she is part of some Facebook groups, and talks quite a bit about the "experience" of each run.
I don't quite get it myself, so I am not advocating for one or the other. But it seems to be working for her.

I'm with sibling commenter, how so? We got a year of iFit with the rowing machine, and considering that my wife uses it several times a week on both rower and treadmill, I'll probably renew it when the time comes in a few months. In the case of the rower, it's nice in that it will adjust the resistance automatically.
I mostly use Apple Fitness+ when on the rower, but iFit is nice in that it is not restricted to studio workouts. There is a far deeper library on iFit, and more variety. Outdoor workouts, indoor if that's your thing, a "Time to Walk" equivalent before Apple thought of it. I don't know if we'll renew the sub or not, but I think iFit gets it just fine.
