Exercise bike buying advice
Choosing the right exercise bike is a big decision, so what should you look for when making your choice? Olivia Neely, personal trainer atStarks Fitness(currently sharing home workout videos atstarksfitnessgymon Instagram), gives the following advice:
“We’re several weeks into lockdown, and no doubt lifestyle adaptions are well underway. A strong positive is that it seems health and well-being has remained a primary focus for most. With that, home-workout equipment is widely sought after so we’re having to be strategic about our purchases.
“It’s worth considering equipment that can be used longer term. And of course, one that will match all your training desires; cardiovascular, endurance or strength. So how about an indoor exercise bike to help reach those goals, come rain or shine. Here are a few tips to ensure you’re buying the right kit for your needs.
“The most obvious but important consideration. There are many types, all focusing on different cycling methods. An upright bike, a recumbent bike, a spin bike, the list goes on…

“We all want a bike that’s aesthetically pleasing, but first, how much space do you have for it? For most, the bike will remain in your living room or bedroom so make sure it fits! Also note, there more advanced equipment (with a higher price tag) will no doubt offer a neater design requiring less space.
“Features will vary depending on the bike you choose, but here are a few things to look out for:
“With such a diversity of options, it’s important to be realistic with your budget. Consider brand new models vs second hand, as you can often find a ‘nearly new’ model for a fraction of the price.”
