iFIT® is now streaming an exclusive Tour de France® workout series in celebration of the 107th edition of the race. Because of iFIT’s partnership with Google Maps®, iFIT members can virtually ride all 21 stages of the 2020 Tour de France® course in a whopping 112-part iFIT Google Maps® series on their NordicTrack machine.
“The Tour de France® is arguably the most iconic and exclusive cycling race in the world.”
Mark Watterson, Director of iFit
Feel a sense of camaraderie and participation in the annual excitement that surrounds the Tour de France® as you take in all the beautiful Google Street View® scenery, and break a sweat in the life-like recreation of the tour. iFIT surely didn’t hold back!
About The iFIT And Tour de France® Race
The iFIT and Tour de France® series includes all 21 stages of the race, with a total distance of 2,220.5 miles (3573.54 km) broken down into 112 workouts, so you’re able to ride at your own pace. The race route begins in Nice and ends in Paris, with a total of six regions and 32 departments travelled through by the race’s conclusion.
Additionally, you can look forward to riding through the five mountain ranges of France: the Alps, Massif Central, Pyrenees, Jura, and Vosges.
Just like other workouts you may have experienced on NordicTrack and iFIT, your incline, decline, and resistance will automatically be adjusted to reflect the natural grade of the road that you are virtually riding on, so you can merely focus on the race and scenic views. The Tour de France’s® steepest grade is around 12%, which your NordicTrack machine will automatically change its incline to this extremely challenging angle—-making for an even more transportive and true-to-life experience.
If the automatic adjustment levels sound too challenging, you choose to manually make your own resistance and incline adjustments. That way, you can continue to race at your own pace.

To get started, access the iFIT and Tour de France® workout Part 1 and Part 2 on your machine. And if you don’t have access to your NordicTrack machine, you can simply download the iFIT app in the Apple Store® or Google Play®.
