A:Answer Yes.
The initial default setup has you setting up your iFit account and logging in for the free trial. You never see the screen that works the machine without iFit.
You must LOG OUT of the iFit Membership and the screen will repopulate with the onboard workouts screen. There is NO WHERE to find this out in the manual and customer service was helpless the 3 times I called...they had no idea how to get there either. I just discovered it by trial and error. All that being said, it has many, many onboard programs and, so far, I am very happy with machine.
