I thank God for providing me with the resources to purchase another great attachment for my Total Gym XLS. I had a 60-day trial and I’m totally satisfied. It’s expensive, but it’s cheaper than purchasing a Trek bike. When I was a member of a gym, I really enjoyed the cycling classes, however I hated the uncomfortable seats. There is no seating issue, because you are resting on your glide board as you cycle. I appreciate the fact that I can do circuit training, which allows me to blast more calories. The DVD that accompanies the CycloTrainer teaches you how to get maximum benefit of this well built machine. I also like the fact that there is a battery operated display that helps me keep a record of my distance and it motivates me to cycle a little faster each time. I pray that this CycloTrainer last beyond the 6-month warranty.
I love this machine! It is really well built, very quiet, and stable. What I didn't expect is how the exercise position provides a great balance of muscle use between your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. By contrast a typical stationary bike will focus mostly on quads with stress on your knees. I also like when you pause the timer also pauses. Total Gym Products are great! Love my recently purchased Total Gym Fit too!
This attachment provides a good cardio workout without stressing the back or joints. The one negative is that you are pretty much laying on your back. So it is difficult to watch TV or play games on your phone, etc. while working out which make it 30 boring minutes.
I have chronic pelvic floor pain and Have had difficulty finding a routine for working out. I have the total gym and it’s amazing but this product is perfect because I can exercise on a bike but not have the pain and discomfort of sitting down.
