• Invite your friends within and without the app to join in on workouts and challenges. The Sunny Health & Fitness bike comes with cage pedals so you don’t need to buy cycling shoes to use it. This means you aren’t spending extra money on specialist kit, and other people can use the bike, too.

But the Premium Indoor Cycling Smart Stationary Bike from Sunny Health and Fitness makes immersive riding accessible to more people. This indoor bike, which is really more of a spin bike, has a 44-pound flywheel, clip-in/caged foot pedals, and micro-adjustable resistance that’s controlled by an easy-to-use tension knob. There aren’t specific levels of resistance, but you can make your ride easier or harder by turning the knob to the left or right. What was truly missing from this indoor cycling bike for me was a cadence monitor of some sort or RPM or resistance indicator. I also looked at my heart rate monitor to gauge my efforts, particularly because I’m pregnant and didn’t want to overexert myself. If you are completely new to indoor cycling, it might take some time to gauge your resistance levels and speed on this bike that doesn’t have a monitor to show you how you’re doing.

These workout maps are filmed in advance, but from a first-person perspective as if you’re riding through snow-covered mountains or paddleboarding on clear water. Dubbed a Peloton substitute, it has a lot of similar features as well as engaging live and on-demand classes via the Echelon Fit app . The magnetic resistance dial is quiet and smooth, and it’s lightweight and easy to move around. It’s also well designed, looks smart and feels sturdy and safe once in position.

We had a slight irregularity in one of the parts and it was shipped to us in record time.

Sunny Health Fitness

With each use, I felt my arm and back muscles getting stronger, and my legs always felt the burn as I was rowing. And while I love getting a serious workout in, this is also an extremely relaxing yet productive way to take breaks during long work-from-home days. How I use itSince I moved back to New York City, my fitness routine has really fallen off the wagon. I used to exercise three times a week with free weights along with a daily run to get my cardio in. Now that I’m in a new area and no longer have a stack of weights at my disposal, getting in a short walk here and there has been my main form of exercise for the last couple of months. With that said, this rower has been a great way to ease back into a regular fitness routine.

But if you aren’t expecting it to be on par with fancier, pricier bikes, and don’t mind keeping up with some minor maintenance, the Sunny bike could be a great option. You can purchase Sunny Health Fitness from Sunny Health & Fitness via its website or through a variety of retailers. If you purchase online, Sunny Health & Fitness takes one to two business days to process your order.

More hours and hours of working with the support later, they just gave up and refunded me. So, now I have a huge piece of bulk garbage that I have no means of getting rid of, yet again. Not only is it superbly designed, it has every little detail thought out to make your riding experience superior and immersive. Packed to the rafters with high tech features, it has a crisp 22” HD rotating touchscreen, 100 maxkare treadmill resistance levels and motivating online content via the Peloton app ($39 per month membership). Negative reviews cited issues with lifting the heavy box into the house and the seat being hard and uncomfortable – problems we also had. Others complained about the lack of resistance or cadence checker, but said in time they got used to guessing what level of intensity they were at and it didn’t bother them.

It’s also nice that it doesn’t require electricity, Wi-Fi, a subscription or special shoes in order to ride it. We have to dock this mini exercise bike some points right out of the gate for having a circular pedal motion. The circular motion is tougher on the knees than an elliptical. It also raises your knees up higher, boosting the chances that you’ll hit them on bottom of your desk. In contrast to the circular pedal motion, you can find ellipticals on the cycle desk market that keep your knees lower and offer less strain. See our review of the Cubii, for instance, or the FitDesk.
