Good product but frustrating first time use

1. It was not difficult to assemble. 2. It works great, is sturdy, and has a smooth stride. 3. It is ABSURD that I could not use it before 'activating' it. This meant going to ifit.com, signing up for service I am not interested in, and inputting my credit card information. I immediately canceled the membership and in one month when the free trial expires, if I can no longer use this machine, I will be one very upset individual. If I wanted to pay a monthly fee, I would use one at the gym rather than purchasing one!
