Experience personal training in your living room with the ProForm Carbon E7 front-drive SMART Elliptical. With an included 30-day iFIT membership, you can stream immersive on-demand video workouts directly through your elliptical’s beautiful 7” HD touchscreen display. Transform your living room into a boutique studio class, blasting calories alongside virtual classmates or follow your favorite iFIT trainers on a journey around the world in captivating destination workout series across all 7 continents. iFIT technology allows your trainer to automatically adjust your elliptical’s resistance and incline for a fully immersive workout optimized to your current fitness level and goals. Your elliptical’s 7” smart HD touchscreen tracks your workout stats across time and iFIT-compatible equipment, so the elevation you climb on your elliptical and the miles you run on your treadmill are both accounted for. In manual workout mode, cycle through 24 levels of progressive resistance or adjust your elliptical into a 20-degree incline to engage in anaerobic exercise that targets specific muscle groups and accelerates weight loss.
A: You can bypass the iFit lock when first setting up (and probably later, too, but since I never activated it, I am not sure about the specifics). Just press and hold the iFit button for around 30 seconds. That’s it. Make sure the magnetic clip is attached in order for it to start.
A: I will answer my own question since I finally figured it out. There is NO ifit button on the Carbon E7. The instructions provided in response to several other questions, 24 questions to date, but not all related to ifit, as I write this response on March 17, 2021 are plain wrong. If you activated your ifit membership, one-year included for free with the purchase of the Carbon E7, and you are logged onto the machine, you must LOG OUT and then click Manual workout to actually see the preloaded programs. I found it very difficult to figure out what was preloaded when logged into ifit. Additionally, I find ifit a little overwhelming with trying to choose a workout. I was hoping for a 10-15 minute HIIT rather than a 30 plus minute elliptical workout. I have sorted through all the preloads, but hope I find one that changes resistance and/or incline to mimic a HIIT.
A: Yes you can bypass the activation. No need to subscribe & not worth it. Just use manual mode. Press the ifit or bluetooth button for 30 seconds to bypass activation. Manual mode is good enough
Q: How do you adjust the stride? I'd prefer it longer.
A: Stride Length: 17.5" TO 18.7" ..........HOW TO ADJUST THE POSITIONS OF THE PEDALS (from the manual).......... Each pedal can be adjusted to several positions. To adjust each pedal, simply pull the pedal handle (L) outward, move the pedal to the desired position, and then release the pedal handle into an adjustment hole beneath the pedal. Make sure to adjust both pedals to the same position.
Q: Is there a place to attach a larger tablet or can it connect to a smart TV for a larger screen?
A: There is a small shelf or ledge that you can put a tablet on. You can't connect to a smart TV at this time.
Q: How many boxes is this shipped in, if only one what are the dimensions of the box?
A: One box that measures 31.10" H X 15.35" W X 66.70" L and weighs 225 pounds.
Q: How far apart are the pedals? What is the distance between the inner edges of the pedals?
A: The distance from the inside face of each pedal (closest possible distance the users shoe edges could get) is 2.5 inches.
A: Heaviest part of the machine is at least 120 - 140 lbs and quite awkward, really not possible or recommended to try carry by yourself (safely). It required two of us (myself and my wife) to carry from our main floor down to our basement workout area where this was assembled. The box it arrives in is quite large and extremely heavy, unless you have a walkout basement or direct access to whatever floor it will be in, you'll likely need to carry parts individually and assemble as I did. On the plus side, assembly was pretty easy and only took a couple of hours from start to finish.
