Review: "Really pleased with it! Easy and quick to assemble, just had a bit of trouble screwing the peddles on, but did it in the end. It seems solidly built and I like the mat with it to keep it steady, but it is stable without it. So quiet and a hit with all the family, bought it on the recommendations of a physiotherapist for my husband. We are all very impressed with it!"

Review: "I usually go swimming regularly but in the winter I wanted to do more exercise indoors. I initially looked for indoor cycling machines but they take up a lot of room. I use this cycle as it is the perfect height for me to use when I am in a reclining sofa. The height is adjustable but I didn't need to change anything. I wanted something with a heavy flywheel so that it would not move whilst I was using it. It looks robust and I hope it will last for a long time. It is very quiet so I can watch TV without it making a noise whilst I'm using it. Very happy so far. I thought the price was reasonable for the quality of the product."

He uses it every day since I bought it from his armchair whilst watching TV/reading etc and has truly been remarkable the improvement this exercise equipment has made to his joints such that it has enabled him to walk so much farther with less restriction. I would highly recommend."

Review: "I’ve been using this as much as I can for a few months ever since I got it and my legs are so toned! I do HIIT cardio standing up, holding onto the back of my workout machine if I need a bit of help balancing and it definitely works you out. If you want to tone you gotta increase the resistance. Pedalling backwards works the glutes!
I also have a bad knee and this is much easier to manage than a treadmill."
