Question Cycle Max Question

I bought Cycle Max and don't have a bike. Is there an alternative to spending $500 for a spin bike? That is totally not in my budget right now. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

No, I don't have a gym membership or the digital download.

It is a good idea b/c I could play the workout on my iPod.

Why didn't I even think of that?

I have access to the wellness center where my husband works.

Amy, I have been searching and searching because I can't afford $500 either! Well, look what I found at Wal-mart! Its a brand new item and when I saw it in the store, they hadn't even put a price tag on it yet. I'm picking mine up tomorrow. I sure hope this'll do for Cycle Max. Its a great deal!! Although its called an "exercise bike" it IS a spin bike, right? I've never been on a spin bike in my life... but I'm about to get on this one! Wish me luck. I hope this info helps you as well!

Knowing that I was going to be getting this DVD, I started watching Craigslist for spin bikes. I got one last week (really nice too!) for $125. Used it yesterday, and it was awesome! Loved the DVD.

Connie is right...you can find amazing deals on Craigslist! We sure have! Just be sure you take someone else with you if you go to anyone's home! Smart to be cautious!

The only thing you need to be afraid of is running out of water and a dry towel! The workout flies by...trust me, you'll feel sooo worked and you WILL need to wring your shirt out, but it's such a blast! Have FUN!

I am going to buy one of the bikes like that - I think.

Do they take up a lot of room? My exercise area is rather small and I have to use it for all my workouts.
