It can automatically modify resistance based on your power output, goals, and cadence to get the best results possible for your workout. Suitable for all ages at any fitness level.

The RENPHO AI-Powered bike features a knob-style, 80-step fluid, digitally-controlled resistance system. The automatic resistance adjustment will work with all classes on the AI Gym app because it uses target metrics you see displayed on your rides. However, you can also manually use the digital knob to control other functions, such as cadence.

Ride and sweat it out with hundreds and thousands of professional bikers by competing with the Zwift community.

If you want an inexpensive exercise bike, then the XTERRA SB150 Recumbent Bike is for you. The frame of the SB150 is solid and durable and comes with a maximum user weight capacity of up to 265 lbs (120 kg). It also features a walk-through design. As a result, it is easily accessible.

The SB150 has a decent flywheel that provides a smooth pedaling motion and consistency. Furthermore, the flywheel is also bidirectional. As a result, you can pedal backward and still have a proper intensity. The flywheel weighs 11 lbs (5 kg), so you can only expect the bike to offer light resistance. However, it has up to 24 levels of resistance.

The XTERRA SB150 has a 3.7″ fitness monitor and a blue LED backlight. It tracks all the essential workout metrics, including time, distance, calories burned, speed, RPM, and pulse. Additionally, it has 12 preset programs, four customizable workouts, five heart rate programs, and a manual.

The SB150 also features a 4-way adjustable strong, and well-padded seat. The XTERRA SB150 makes exercise time less stressful for your back with the backrest. It is solid and well-padded too.

Categories Rowers 4 Comments

Never be bored with various exercise experiences using the ECHANFIT Magnetic Rower in your home. From global workouts and even cross-training options like an indoor cycle and full-body training, the ECHANFIT rower provides limitless variety.

The Silent Magnetic Resistance is long-lasting and reliable, will not require much maintenance, and does not create noise, bringing you a smooth and quiet experience. Increase the intensity and build strength using the 16 levels of silent magnetic resistance.

The ECHANFIT rower has a fitness monitor, which shows speed, distance, time, RPM, stroke count, and strokes per minute (SPM). In addition, it includes a convenient scan feature. But unfortunately, the monitor cannot read your pulse from a wireless HR chest strap transmitter.

Rowing is a great cardiovascular exercise and a workout to strengthen major muscle groups. It is a low-impact exercise, which can be highly challenging, burning calories and toning the body. The ECHANFIT Magnetic Rower is an excellent choice if you want to invest in a workout to last you a lifetime.

XTERRA Fitness TRX3500 Folding Treadmill | 30 Preset Programs

Categories Treadmills 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.

NordicTrack S22i Studio Cycle | Immersive Riding Experience

Categories Exercise Bikes 10 Comments

The NordicTrack S22i Studio Cycle is a luxury indoor exercise bike with many features, a sharp style, and a smooth ride. This bike is one of my favorites for its lightweight magnetic flywheel that barely makes a sound when riding.

The S22i is very efficient in simulating a road bike, as the flywheel is one of the smoothest on the market. Furthermore, unlike other indoor exercise bikes, the pedaling is soft and natural, allowing you to forget you are stationary nearly.

The S22i comes with NordicTrack’s steepest bike incline/decline range. Work your muscles with extremes of -10 and +20 percent! The slope can be controlled manually or by workout programs. This feature is fun to use with Google Maps workouts, automatically adjusting the bike’s pitch according to the terrain data.

The S22i Studio Cycle is a digitally connected home exercise bike with a 22″ monitor enabled for iFit Coach. This elite fitness machine can stream LiveCast videos filmed at the iFit Coach spin studio and lets you cycle in virtual outdoor environments.
