Introducing SmartAdjust™ for Your Treadmill: iFIT’s New Personalized Workout Experience
At iFIT, we're focused on giving you a truly interactive workout experience. That's why iFIT-enabled equipment automatically adjusts your speed, incline, and decline during your workouts. SmartAdjust takes that further, tailoring your workout to your individual fitness level from the moment you hit Start Workout. As of August 2026, SmartAdjust got even smarter, personalizing your session before it begins instead of catching up once you're already moving.
What is SmartAdjust?
SmartAdjust automatically scales your workout as you make adjustments to speed or incline, so you can always follow along with the trainer, but at your own pace.
Say goodbye to constant manual adjustments. SmartAdjust now pulls from your recent workout history before your session even starts, so your workout opens at a level that reflects your actual fitness instead of a generic starting point. Before you begin, you'll see a pre-workout screen comparing your personalized settings side by side with the trainer's original programming, so you know exactly what's been adjusted and why.
From there, SmartAdjust keeps learning and adjusting as you go, based on the changes you make to speed or incline throughout the workout.

Note: SmartAdjust is not currently available for manual workouts.Equipment required for SmartAdjust
SmartAdjust is available to Pro and Grandfathered members on eligible iFIT-enabled treadmills, or on an iFIT-enabled treadmill that connects to the iFIT app on a tablet via Bluetooth®. (This feature is not currently available on phones.)
How to use SmartAdjust
Make sure your machine is running the latest software version. Once you're up to date, here's how to use SmartAdjust:
- Start a workout: Select any treadmill workout from your Home screen or Library.
- Review your personalized settings: Before the workout begins, you'll see a pre-workout screen showing your personalized speed and incline side by side with the trainer's original programming. This reflects your recent workout history, so you're starting at a level that actually fits you.
- Trainer notification: Once the workout begins, you'll receive a trainer notification during your warmup, letting you know your session has been personalized based on your workout history. While SmartAdjust is on, feel free to change the speed, incline, or decline of your workout, so it feels comfortable for your pace and fitness level.
- SmartAdjust learns: Over time, SmartAdjust learns from these actions and continues to adjust your workout to your fitness level, balancing it with your trainer's instructions.
- Turn off SmartAdjust: You can turn off SmartAdjust at any time by tapping the screen, then switching SmartAdjust off in the bottom right corner. If you turn off SmartAdjust, you’ll return to following the trainer-led workout.
- Follow Trainer: If you make adjustments to speed or incline with SmartAdjust off, you’ll be in control of your speed and incline. You can click the Follow Trainer button at any time to return to the trainer’s prescribed workout.
SmartAdjust settings
To set your starting state and max speed, follow these instructions:
- Tap the three horizontal lines in the top left corner of your screen to open your side menu.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap In Workout.
- In the Personalized Training section, use the toggle to turn on or off SmartAdjust. This will determine the starting state of the feature. If you turn the feature off, SmartAdjust will be turned off when you start your next workout.
- You can also set a Max Treadmill Speed. Automatic adjustments will now consistently stay within this limit while SmartAdjust or ActivePulse are enabled, so your speed won't climb above the number you've set. You can override this at any time during your workout.
We're always working to improve your workouts and give you a truly personalized experience. We hope you enjoy training with SmartAdjust as you work to achieve your fitness goals with iFIT!
