I actually bought this through GNC’s website after finding it on Amazon. I wasn’t sure what to expect after some of the reviews here, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. I’ve been wanting a stationary bike for awhile, as biking is the only activity I can do since having foot surgery last year. This bike seems like a good way to regain the muscle tone in my legs.

It did take awhile for us to put together- probably about 45 minutes. You’ll definately need two people for certain parts.

The bike is very comfortable to use. The seat is large and well cushioned, comfortable to sit on for awhile. It can be adjusted to a good range of heights. I’m 5′9″ and there were several pegs above and below my setting. I’m still getting used to actually getting on the bike, but I wouldn’t recommend this model for anyone with a hard time climbing over objects. The base rises about 2 feet off the ground, so the recumbant model might be better for anyone with an injury or problems lifting their legs.

The technology is great too. I’ve never used anything beyond a basic fan bike before so I was really excited about the 6 different programs they offer along with the 8 tension settings. I’ve only played with a few of the programs but there seems to be a good variety of challenges. My favorite part has been watching my progress on the panel. It shows your speed, distance travelled, calories burned, time left, and heart rate. This is really helpful to motivate me to reach the end of my workout and stay within my target heart rate.

I would definately recommend this bike. For the price it’s very high quality and the features are really nice. It’s a quiet bike, not too heavy when assembled, and it’s very quiet.
