Why an exercise bike?
What kind of workout do I get from an exercise bike?
An exercise bike has been and will always be a popular choice in fitness because it provides an effective workout for users of all fitness level, from beginners to Cycling enthusiasts. On top of being one of the most popular picks as fitness equipment for the home, an exercise bike has been a long time favorite in the rehab clinics because of the low-impact cardiovascular exercise it provides. Are you a fitness enthusiast looking for a heart-pumping, hardcore workout inspired by professional cycling? Get on one of our indoor cycling bikes and push your body to the limit!

 

What are the benefits of using an exercise bike?
An exercise bike is an excellent investment for your cardiovascular health and well-being. It allows you to perform safe, as well as an effective cardiovascular exercise. The low-impact movement involved in operating an exercise bike does not put much stress on your joints and does not involve herky-jerky motions that some other fitness equipment may require.

 

Wanna work up a sweat? Indoor cycling bikes, designed for more advanced athletes, can provide you with a cardiovascular workout experience that can match up to any other endurance challenges out there.

 

What factors should I consider when choosing a exercise bike?
Which type of bike should I choose - exercise bike or indoor cycling bike?
This choice should be based on your fitness goals and needs. If you want to purchase an equipment that will allow you to get in better cardiovascular shape that is also easy to operate, limited in the types of physical activities you can participate, or rehabbing an injury, exercise bikes will suffice.

 

If you are a serious endurance athlete looking for a challenging endurance workout, indoor cycling bikes are right for you. Built to replicate the real cycling experience as accurately as possible, these bikes will provide an intense cardio workout that will seriously push your body. Before you decide on purchasing one for your home, we advise taking some indoor group cycling classes to get to know the types of activities you will be performing on these bikes.

 

Which style is right for me - Upright or Recumbent?
This decision usually depends on your personal preference. We recommend going for a style that feels the most comfortable to you. When you are sitting on the exercise bike saddle, you should be able to remain on it in the duration of your workout - you should not feel any strain stepping on the exercise bike pedals and should be able to easily reach for the handle. If you are looking for an upright style exercise bike, we recommend a New Balance that feature a well-padded saddle for the maximum comfort.

 

However, if you do have medical conditions such as lower back pain, mobility or balance issues and such, recumbent style exercise bikes that provide more back support would be a better choice for you. We recommend New Balance 7.5r Recumbent, a higher-end exercise bike with all the newest features in the industry.

 

Should I consider a remanufactured exercise bike?
If you want the health club experience for a more reasonable price, look into our remanufactured exercise bikes. All our remanufactured exercise bikes are inspected, tested, and rebuilt at the original manufacturers' factories to ensure a long second life. The Life Fitness and the Star Trac models are remanufactured versions of the most popular exercise bikes at gyms.

 

How durable are the exercise bikes?
Our home models are designed for regular use by one or two users. Most come with 1 year warranty on moving parts. Some, like Our health club and remanufactured exercise bikes, are intended for many hours of use per day and have longer warranties to reflect it.

 

If a machine comes with a short warranty, don't be detered. The Exercise Bike Superstore also offers one, two, and three year in-home warranty plans that can be added to the manufacturer's warranty.

 

How much assembly does a exercise bike require?
Assembly varies from model to model, but most exercise bikes require between fifteen minutes and one hour for assembly. If you are concerned with assembly time, please be sure to check the assembly section just under the dimensions and specifications. Almost all models come with all tools necessary to assemble your exercise bike.
