Spin Bike Recommendations

Hi,

What spin bikes can you recommend? Please tell me the brand name and model and provide links if you can. Also, let me know how often you use the bike and how long it has lasted. Thanks in advance!

This is the bike I have:

Synergy Pro Magnetic Fitness Exercise Bike

Ergonomically designed, this cycle bike has a rounded handlebar and adjustable seat that can help maintain comfort and stability while you work out. Fast Delivery.

I ordered it direct. I use it 2-4 x/week. I've had it almost 5 years with no issues. It's quieter than my older trainer system. I use clip-in shoes with it unless I'm just warming up with it. I do a 25-40 minute spin workout 2-3x/week. I also use it sometimes for a warm-up before weight workouts cuz it's easier on my knee than Cathe's usual standing warmup with the side-to-side movements. It works really well with Kaleigh Cohen's spin workouts where she tells you the relative resistance level and RPM range for each section. HTH.

Thank you Debinmi. You have been very helpful. That model is one of the bikes I'm looking at. Just a few quick questions. Was it easy to assemble? How long did it take to put it together? Did you assemble the water bottle holder and dumbbell holder too? If so, did your knees bang against it when cycling? Or was there enough room? Thanks again!

Anyone else? I welcome your recommendations and opinions!

I don't recall exactly, but I think it wasn't difficult and didn't take too long to put together. I only really remember having to put on the pedals. My knees do not bang against the accessories - don't even come close. Oh, and it's really easy to maneuver around too as I often pull it out to set up fans around me in the summer ... it can be a sweaty workout .
