Question 1

Can the screen be used for anything other than the personal trainer?

Accepted Answer

The monitor is limited. It is a touchscreen. And it connects directly with the rower. You can output via HDMI to a second screen. But you can not input (like from an Apple TV or Blu-Ray player). The monitor starts up and loads directly into iFit. This happens whether you have a subscription or not. The monitor still has some features without a subscription. To try to do anything to it requires you to unscrew the whole thing and void the warranty. I got an Ipad holder and connected it to the rower. I row in manual mode (no live trainer) and watch videos on the Ipad.

Question 2

Can you use headphones with this?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is a headphone jack for wired earbuds.  No Bluetooth support. I did buy a thirty dollar Bluetooth transmitter to plug into headphone jack so that I can use with Bluetooth wireless earbuds.

Question 3

Where is this rower made?

Accepted Answer

I actually tried to Google that. It appears that a lot of it is made in China. I just got done shipping it back.  others have had luck with it but there’s also been numerous others with issues. I settled on the concept2 with no TV. I’ts  been around a while and solid as a rock. I had nothing but a headache with Nordic and icon customer service was less than helpful. They were more than happy to send me any parts that I might need but expected me to be the repair technician. I would just make sure you read all the reviews you can find before making a decision.   Video demonstrates the issue I was having right out of the box. Others have had the same issue.

Question 4

1-yr free ifit subscription offer access to both rowing and spin bike training content?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you will have access to treadmill, bike, rower, elliptical and strength training programs. There are also sessions for relaxation. I’ve had mine for 2 weeks now and I love it.
