Last Updated: August 26, 2022 By RobertExercise Bikes 6 Comments

The Ativafit X8 Upright Bike features an X-type frame that combines physical balance theory in the design; you can feel the bike is sturdy while exercising. It has a large comfortable seat with a maximum user weight of up to 300 lbs (136 kg). The bike folds easily to store with the folding capabilities when not in use.

The X8 bike comes equipped with eight-level manual magnetic resistance and a belt drive system for smooth and quiet exercise to meet all of your demands. But, of course, it is up to you to choose an easier or more difficult workout for burning calories.

The Ativafit X8 upright bike features a fitness monitor with an IPAD bracket that effectively tracks time, speed, distance, calories, pulse, goals, and scan so that you can monitor your fitness progress. Monitor and maintain your target heart rate by tracking your HR pulse through the sensors integrated into the handlebar. Measuring your pulse rate is an essential tool for exercising correctly and efficiently.

Last Updated: March 1, 2023 By RobertExercise Bikes 8 Comments

The Ativafit R8 Upright Bike features an X-type folding frame with three-position settings. These are semi-recumbent, upright, and folded. In addition, the bike locks in either of these positions by the small adjustment bar under the seat. Furthermore, the frame and seat have a maximum user weight limit of up to 250 lbs (113 kg).

The R8 has eight manual magnetic resistance levels, so you can adjust the level according to your needs, making it perfect for cardio workouts. In addition, the resistance bands included with the bike allow you to target the biceps and triceps while maintaining a full range of motion.

The Ativafit R8 upright bike has a fitness monitor that effectively tracks your time, speed, distance, odometer, calories burned, and pulse. Holding the integrated HR pulse sensors in the front handlebars (besides the fitness monitor) provides the pulse reading function. Unfortunately, the monitor is not telemetric and cannot sync with a wireless HR chest strap or armband.

The R8 features a comfortable seat and backrest covered with durable vinyl material that helps relieve pressure points in the tailbone due to exercising. Although the entire seat is adjustable, unfortunately, the backrest has no reclining function and does not adjust independently from the rest.

The Circuit Fitness AMZ-150BK Upright Bike features a premium steel frame that combines design and performance. Its high-grade construction is steel tubing reinforced with a powder finish to ensure durability, and the bike has a maximum user weight capacity of 250 lbs (113 kg).

Designed for fitness enthusiasts of all skill levels, the Circuit Fitness AMZ-150BK comes with a manual magnetic resistance mechanism with eight preset levels that simulate the effect of biking in different terrains.

The large LCD fitness monitor keeps track of speed, distance, calories, and pulse. Also, use the scan to see each mode periodically. You won’t make progress if you can’t track it! In addition, the AMZ-150BK computer works together with the pulse sensor (located on the handlebars) to follow your heart rate. Monitoring your heart rate zone allows you to maximize the efficiency of your workout.

The XTERRA FB150 Upright Bike has a sturdy and durable X-frame that can carry a maximum user weight of 225 pounds and folds down to only 18 x 18 x 50.5 inches; when you’re not using it, roll it on its transport wheels to free up space. It is a good option for burning calories, losing weight, and getting in shape, but you don’t have much space.

The 3.3-pound precision-balanced flywheel has frictionless magnetic resistance and a silent belt drive system, so you can pedal smoothly and quietly without needing maintenance. It is a quiet bike, and you won’t disturb people in the house or your neighbors downstairs.

The XTERRA FB150 features a fitness monitor that’s easy to read and use, as it offers you feedback with stats like time, distance, calories, speed, and pulse. In addition, the Scan function lets you see these indicators one by one without pressing a button.

The FB150 is a comfortable exercise bike with a large, ergonomic contoured, thick-padded seat and multi-grip padded handles. Both of which offer you support and comfort during lengthy workouts. People between 4’10” and 5’10” can comfortably ride this bike as the seat can be set pretty low, close to the pedals.

XTERRA Fitness TRX3500 Folding Treadmill | 30 Preset Programs

Last Updated: January 13, 2023 By RobertTreadmills 6 Comments

The XTERRA Fitness TRX3500 Folding Treadmill is a good option for shoppers with smaller treadmill budgets. It meets performance standards set for higher-priced treadmills. I also like that the TRX3500 supports two user profiles and delivers various customizable exercise programs.

Key features include a two-ply 60″ x 20″ workout surface, a 3.0 HP drive motor, a power incline to 12 percent, 30 preset workout programs, and a heart rate-controlled workout program with a wireless chest strap. Unfortunately, the HR chest strap does not come included with the machine.

Workout data is shown on a 6.5″ LCD with blue backlighting for easy reading. An animated racetrack graphic illustrates your progress, and the window displays multiple data points. Many other low-priced treadmills have smaller readouts and require scanning to show different data fields.

You can pair an Apple or Android mobile device via Bluetooth with the XTERRA Fitness TRX3500 Folding treadmill to export your calorie burn, distance covered, heart rate, and other exercise statistics. The free XTERRA Fitness app is also compatible with Fitbit wearables and other fitness mobile apps.
