In a campaign unlike any other, we’re joining in the college basketball hype that surrounds March and throwing a challenge your way for an opportunity to win a free NordicTrack machine and a 12-month family membership to iFit. Let’s go over how to play by the rules because no one wants to call a foul play.
How it Works
On March 8, 2021, you will have full access to the official NordicTrack Bracket. This bracket follows a similar format to the annual college basketball competition held in March. The NordicTrack Bracket will host 16 teams, each with its own unique qualities and features. These 16 teams will go head-to-head in single-game matchups over a period of two weeks. Once you submit your bracket online through our form, you will be entered into the #NordicTrackBracket Challenge.
Each matchup will be hosted on NordicTrack’s Facebook and Instagram Stories for a period of 24 hours. Prior to the matchups, you will be provided team stats within our Stories. These stats will be saved for your reference on NordicTrack’s Instagram highlights. On game day, you’ll vote for your team. And voting is simple: The more votes for your team, the higher your chances of winning and moving forward.
Upon the final matchup, if you selected the correct team as the final winner, you will be automatically entered into a raffle, to win the machine and a 12-month family membership to iFit.

If you’re one of the lucky few who select the winning team, you will be entered into a raffle. One individual of the winner’s pool will be selected as our grand prize winner and will win the Most-Voted machine and a 12-month family membership to iFit.
How do I know which team will perform the best?
Great question! To select the right team, it will take knowledge of the trainer, workout, and machine.
Before the matchups, we will give you insider information about each team to help you make an informed decision. However, the power ultimately lies in your hands as the matchup winner will be determined by the number of votes given by participants. So, make sure you get your family, friends, coworkers, and the neighbor down the street to get involved and VOTE.
What if I lose a game in the beginning rounds?
If one of your teams in the Swol 16 round loses, don’t sweat it; keep the big picture in mind. You want to position your best teams in the Favorite Four and the Showdown rounds so that ultimately you pick a winner.
Can I submit more than one bracket?
Unfortunately, no. There will only be one bracket submission available to each participant. These brackets will be monitored, and we strongly discourage individuals from submitting multiple brackets as it could lead to disqualification.
