Spinner L7 Lifestyle Series Indoor Cycling Bike | Authentic Road Bike Feel

Categories Exercise Bikes Leave a comment

The Spinner L7 Lifestyle Series Indoor Cycling Bike, released in 2017, is an authentic Mad Dogg Athletics spin bike. It shares many similarities with the Spinner L3 that I’ve previously reviewed here. Still, this model offers a few extra features. With this in mind, it comes equipped with a heavier flywheel and provides superior micro-adjustability to the handlebar.

It features a rust and sweat-resistant, powder-coated steel frame supporting up to 250-pounds maximum user weight. It has a 36-lb perimeter-weighted flywheel and drivetrain that provides a smooth and authentic road bike feel.

Moreover, Dual-Sided SPD-compatible pedals and a large wedge-designed commercial handlebar offer micro-adjustability for a more comfortable grip. Furthermore, the Narrow Q factor and incremental fore/aft saddle adjustability make for a comfortable and ergonomic fit.

SPINtv puts the power of a studio legacy boasting more than 250,000 Spinning instructors worldwide straight into your home. An ever-growing online library of unique rides streams directly to your Wi-Fi-enabled TV or favorite mobile device. SPINtv offers a diverse selection of routines, training styles, and durations led by world-class Spinning instructors.

PYHIGH S2 Indoor Cycling Bike | Outstanding Value for the Price

Categories Exercise Bikes 7 Comments

The PYHIGH S2 Indoor Cycling Bike has a fitness monitor that tracks time, distance, speed, and burned calories. In addition, it also comes with a standard friction resistance system consisting of a felt pad attached under the frame’s main bar.

You can increase or decrease the resistance by turning the knob or pushing it for a quick stop, as it acts as an emergency brake. The seat and handlebars are adjustable, the saddle is 4-way adjustable, and the handlebars are 2-way adjustable.

The 35 lb (16.9 kg) flywheel is perimeter-weighted and designed for high inertia and smooth momentum. Furthermore, it comes with TPI bearings, which offer you a much more stable and comfortable exercise experience. The anti-slip foot pedals are suitable for all sizes and come with an adjustable strap.

The PYHIGH S2 is the lighter version of the PYHIGH S7 that I’ve already reviewed here. It’s an indoor cycling bike made for home use but does offer very sturdy construction and can support most spin workouts.

It features premium high-performance components, such as an extra-large four-ply track, a virtually silent 4.0 CHP motor, and 3″ track rollers that support low maintenance.

The only Sole treadmill features a power decline in addition to incline; the range is -6% to 15% and is adjustable during workouts with handlebar-based controls. The TT8 has a 22″ x 60″ tread track, the largest available from Sole Fitness and most other treadmill brands. It has four layers for smooth low-maintenance operation, and it moves over commercial 3-inch rollers to minimize noise and wear.

Teeter LT-1 FreeStep Recumbent Cross-Trainer | Zero Impact

Categories Hybrids 6 Comments

The Teeter LT-1 FreeStep Recumbent Cross-Trainer, unlike regular recumbent bikes, provides a full-body workout. While we usually get bored after 20 minutes of passive exercise, with the FreeStep by Teeter, you will hardly want to leave the machine.

The Teeter LT-1 has a soft and comfortable adjustable seat accommodating users of all heights. As far as the backrest goes, its well-cushioned and adjustable 3-position reclining feature is adaptable to all users’ sizes. So, you can lean back and do a relaxed cardio workout or lean a bit forward and do a more intense home exercise.

The Teeter exercise machine offers a smooth linear stepping pedal motion. And since it’s not circular, it has less impact on the knees than recumbent bikes. In addition, the pedals are giant and anti-slip with safety edges to keep your feet in place. But what we like the most is the handlebars; they are vertically adjustable to allow all family members to do a low-impact exercise regardless of height.

This recumbent cross-trainer by Teeter features a silent magnetic resistance that simultaneously applies to the handlebars and the pedals. The fact that the resistance refers to the lower and upper body makes this machine much better than expensive similar recumbent bikes that offer pedal resistance only.
