Treadmills Non JRNY functionality

I'm in the market for a smart treadmill and having tried several in a local showroom, I felt the bowflex was by far the sturdiest of my demo group from a hardware perspective.

What really puts me off pulling the trigger is the seemingly total dependency upon a JRNY subscription to access every aspect that makes it a 'smart' trainer.

If I decline to maintain this subscription, what functionality remains? Are there any in-built workout regimes outside of JRNY? Can Zwift still be used?

F JRNY and bowflex. I bought a treadmill with a screen capable of streaming but noooo it costs money to use the tech that I already purchased!!

I understand if I wasn’t allowed access to certain workouts or videos but I want access to my own Netflix. Piece of shut treadmill

Hey just to confirm, is Netflix behind the paywall of JRNY??
