Love This Equipment!

This is an excellent piece of home fitness equipment! Assembly took a few hours but the result is a sturdy high-quality machine. Since recently retiring, I’ve been focusing on staying healthy, and this bike is perfect – the combination of arm and leg movement provides a great full body workout!
So far it has been very good. I am using it to improve my strength after open heart surgery and hope this will improve my stamina. I hired someone to do the assembly and that was a blessing. Even though the instructions are good, there a still a lot of pieces and bending around.
As for the equipment itself, it is sturdy and the action smooth, not rough, and provides even resistance.
I have three recommendations. 1) the handle bar design is less than optimal. It should be continuously adjustible not just two orientations and two distances. the screw knob is overkill and difficult to insert and tighten - redesign! 2) the foot strapes should be removable 3) getting the user manual was a hassle - it was hidden behind a lot of "clicks" to get to and download. Once download I had to edit it down to thirty or so pages from the original 100+ pages. Easy for the provider - tough for the user. Hopes this helps. Richard
Working out my knee recovering from damage from ACL surgery. And rehabbing a shoulder from a fracture. Excellent for both ! And comfortable on my back. Great machine.
Bike seems solid after a few times using it. App is a bit limited in terms of connectivity with equipment and integration with Apple Health. I wish it was possible to program your mode, time, distance, etc. , but basically you can start from the app in a single manual mode or one of the pre-made sessions. Assembly wasn’t too bad if you have any DIY skills at all. I did chuckle a bit about saving the box in case a return was necessary…but I have no idea how one would EVER be able to repack that sucker!
We added this to our home workout equipment, and it’s a nice alternative to the treadmill.
