Are the programs downloaded? No internet at home... null

The entire NordicTrack iFit series is absolute garbage without internet and their subscription. I bought the 2450 commercial with the promise that there were some local maps. The idea is you could probably just use this thing even after i fit subscription expires. If your machine has internet access and then loses internet access or has it weak signal it will constantly hang. The programming is absolutely terrible. The only way the machine works is if you pay for the subscription and have a strong internet signal at all times. if your internet goes down the machine is not smart enough to figure out that your router is not connected to the internet. It just sees a strong Wi-Fi signal and will constantly get stuck in a loop rendering your machine useless until you disable your router. So even if you have local maps the machine is constantly trying to access the internet with really bad programming and hanging and doing all kinds of flaky stuff. The only time it's ever worked is with the full subscription and strong internet. I own a commercial 2450 and I cannot tell you how much I regret purchasing it. I was very optimistic about the hardware buttons on the side that this could work like a normal treadmill and I could just hit start and get going with a basic map to keep me entertained. This is not how it works and the manual mode is garbage along with all of the other flaky stuff about networks and technical issues as I mentioned about.

Without running the IFIT program the bike does not respond to the controls. IFIT has many support problems.

per the owners manual there are some: In addition, the console features a selection of onboard workouts..... I did a quick chat with Nordictrack and was told there were 20 onboard workouts

No, unit's video the content is online.

You’ll need internet. If that’s not an option, don’t spend the $
