Deal Details
Haven't seen this advertised, but my club had Proform Rowing Machines and Exercise Bikes on sale for $299, $100 off from their 'standard' price.

These include a year of their fitness program as well, most other outlets only include a month.

Last week, I was planning to buy this one until I saw this review on costco.com

There is no mention on the box that the IFIT membership is REQUIRED in order to be able to use the console. The console/ monitor is locked without the membership. So once the free membership is over you will have to continue to pay for a yearly/ monthly membership even to be able to use the most basic/ manual functions on the rower. Had I known that after the free year i would have to pay ~$400 yearly I probably not spent the ~400 on it

I'd return it after the 1 year free trial is up... It's complete BS that Costco is selling more and more items with a sub to use the item like this, but then again, the non-food parts of the store have been on the decline for the the past decade or so.

Not really trying to argue, but a different review states you can get into manual mode pretty easily. I haven't opened my box yet, so I can't confirm though.

"There is confusion about the ability to use this in manual mode without paying for an IFit membership. It does come with a free one year membership which may be very helpful. I haven't tried it yet. There are many red stop sign labels in the packaging stating that the consul is locked till you register it but that is Not the case. You can in fact use the rower in manual mode without registration and payment for a membership. I have done it. Initial I held down the blue IFit/sync button til it beeped. Since then I just sit down and start rowing. The monitor comes on in manual mode. The instruction booklet tells you how to change modes and add a heart rate monitor or use the aux . I have not owned it long enough to rate the machine yet ."

you can still use the rower in "manual" mode without iFit membership.

I have iFit treadmill I never connected it to ifit or even wifi and just use manual mode. It is basically an android tablet I am sure this is similar. Would love for this to be online deal too so I can use coupon and shop card from recent promo.

My local (Orange County, CA) Costco and Sam's Club both have this model in-warehouse right now for $399. It's not the yellow model pictured, it is grey, so perhaps it's an updated model?

Interestingly, the box at Sam's Club has "Includes 1-Year iFit Family Membership" printed on the side, but with a big round sticker over it that says "Includes 30-Day iFit Family Membership."

The box at Costco has "Includes 30-Day iFit Family Membership" printed on the side, but with a big round sticker over it that says "Includes 1-Year iFit Family Membership."

With Costco's customer service and extended warranty, I decided to risk it. Since the 1-Year Family Membership is $396 MSRP anyway, this is a free rower!

Included in the rower box is an old "iFit Coach Membership" card. Trying to activate it on iFit tells you the code is no longer valid, so you're at the mercy of calling customer support. The agent activated it for me after I emailed a picture of the card and receipt to her.

I haven't even set up or tried the rower yet lol but for those who are buying iFit right now anyway, it's worth a shot!

picked one up for 299. Tried to activate the 1 year and the code said it was no good.
Gonna go to Costco or talk to ifit and see what's up
