NOW LIVE Find Your Finish Line: Inside the iFIT & Ergatta Spring Cup

Late winter can test your consistency. Motivation dips. Progress feels harder to measure. Even when you’re showing up, it can feel like you’re training without a clear benchmark.

That’s exactly why iFIT created the Spring Cup.

The iFIT & Ergatta Spring Cup is a four-week online fitness competition designed to give your training structure, accountability, and momentum. It rewards consistency, not just peak performance. 

The Spring Cup is live now.

Competition, Built for Real Life

The Spring Cup reflects how iFIT members actually train.

Each race is asynchronous, meaning you compete on your schedule using your connected equipment. Races stay open for a full week, and you can complete them multiple times. Your best performance counts.

Instead of pressure, you get opportunity. Instead of one big moment, you build progress week after week.

This is competition designed to support your routine, not disrupt it.

How the Spring Cup Works

The Spring Cup unfolds across three official race weeks, followed by a bonus catch-up week:

• Race 1: Mon 3/9 12pm ET - Mon 3/16 11:59am ET
• Race 2: Mon 3/16 12pm ET - Mon 3/23 11:59am ET
• Race 3: Mon 3/23 12pm ET - Mon 3/30 11:59am ET
• Bonus: Monday 3/30 12pm ET - Mon 4/6 11:59am ET

Each race lasts 20 to 45 minutes and spans treadmill, bike, and row. The fourth week is a bonus catch-up period, giving you one final opportunity to complete missed races, improve your times, and move up the leaderboard.

Your overall score is based on your best times from each race, combined across all three stages. You can view the iFIT & Ergatta Spring Cup 2026 Official Rules here.

iFIT Powers the Experience

The Spring Cup runs through the iFIT platform, which tracks and validates every effort automatically.

Speed, incline, resistance, cadence, and heart rate are captured in real time. Results are centralized on iFIT.com, ensuring performance data is accurate and comparable across thousands of members.

There is no manual logging. No guesswork. Just measurable effort.

This is where connected training becomes measurable competition.

Why Heart Rate is Required

Every race requires a connected heart rate monitor.

This ensures performances reflect real physiological effort. It also reinforces one of iFIT’s core principles: training in the right intensity zones builds lasting progress.

Top performances are reviewed to maintain competitive integrity. Fairness matters. So does trust.

A Competition for Every Athlete

Leaderboards are segmented by gender, age group, and modality.

You are not competing against everyone. You are competing within meaningful peer groups.

For many members, the biggest win is not a medal. It is measurable improvement across four focused weeks.

Why It’s an iFIT Pro Experience

The Spring Cup was created in collaboration with Ergatta and brought to life inside the iFIT ecosystem.

Because Ergatta experiences are available through iFIT Pro, full participation in the Spring Cup requires a Pro membership. Pro unlocks complete access to iFIT’s connected training features, including SmartAdjust, ActivePulse, and Ergatta game-based racing.

With iFIT Pro, members train inside a fully integrated system:

• Multi-week performance tracking
• Real-time heart rate–based adjustments
• Connected competition across treadmill, bike, and row
• Centralized leaderboards and validation

The Spring Cup is not a standalone event. It is a reflection of what iFIT Pro enables every day: structured, data-driven training that builds over time.

What You Take With You

At the end of four weeks, top finishers earn medals.

Everyone else earns something just as powerful:

Clear benchmarks. Renewed motivation. Momentum heading into spring.

Training Feels Different When It Connects

The iFIT Spring Cup proves that training at home does not have to feel isolated.

With the right structure, the right data, and the right community, consistency becomes something you can measure.

If you’re ready for four weeks of focused effort, your finish line is waiting.

Spring Cup FAQs

What is the iFIT & Ergatta Spring Cup?

The iFIT & Ergatta Spring Cup is a four-week fitness competition designed for iFIT Pro members. It allows participants to complete structured races on their NordicTrack treadmill, bike, or rower, tracking progress over time rather than relying on a single performance.

How can I view my placement? 

View the current Spring Cup leaderboard here.

Do I need to compete live against other people?

No. All Spring Cup races are asynchronous. Each event remains open for a full week, allowing members to complete the race on their own schedule. Results are compared after the fact, based on best performance during the race window.

What equipment can I use with Ergatta?

The Spring Cup includes events for NordicTrack and ProForm treadmills, bikes, and rowers. Members compete using the equipment they already train on at home, with courses designed specifically for each modality.

How long are the races?

Each race lasts between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the course and modality. This keeps events challenging but realistic, fitting into normal training schedules rather than requiring extended sessions.

Can I repeat a race if I want to improve my result?

Yes. Members can complete each race multiple times during the week it is available. Only the best performance is counted toward the leaderboard, encouraging experimentation and progression rather than one-and-done pressure.

Why is a heart rate monitor required?

A connected heart rate monitor is required for all Spring Cup events to ensure fairness and data integrity. Heart rate must remain paired for the entire race for results to count, helping confirm that performances reflect real physiological effort.

Does a smart watch count as a heart rate monitor?

If your watch can connect to NordicTrack or ProForm equipment and display your heart rate on the equipment, it counts.

How are results reviewed and validated?

Results are validated through iFIT and reflected on the current leaderboard. iFIT reviews the top finishers in each category to identify abnormal or invalid performances. Any results that do not meet integrity standards are removed.

Who am I competing against?

Results are segmented by gender, age group, and modality. This allows members to compare performance within relevant peer groups rather than against a single global leaderboard.

Is the Spring Cup only available to iFIT Pro members?

Yes. The Spring Cup is an iFIT Pro–exclusive experience. Pro membership enables multi-week competition, performance tracking, heart-rate validation, and full integration across NordicTrack and ProForm equipment.

What do participants receive at the end of the Spring Cup?

Some participants will earn physical medals mailed to their homes. More broadly, members finish the Spring Cup with clear performance benchmarks, renewed motivation, and a stronger sense of momentum heading into spring.
