They don't build them like they used to.

I use it for lower body strength and endurance training. Pedaling comfortably is what people buy it for and it does that fairly well. It doesn't support multiple user profiles, it has no speakers to play music or support apps, the media shelf won't hold media, and the newly added Bluetooth connectivity supports only their Toolbox app and marginally the Explore The World app. Buyer beware.
Pros: Durable, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet, Strengthens
I have the Schwinn 230 for 3 days. I don't see the built-in console speakers or MP3 connection that is advertised and the Bluetooth won't connect with anything except the Schwinn Toolbox app that only seems to update the console. It's supposed to keep profiles for 2 users but there is no profile set up. I let customer service know and hopefully they can make it right.
I recently decided to turn my basement into a home gym. I had the weights and strength equipment, so this bike was a nice addition. Both me and my boyfriend created our own profiles to track our workouts. The programs that are already loaded are great when I want to mix it up without having to change the resistance myself. #sweepstakes
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use, Quiet
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are so glad to hear that you are loving your new Recumbent Bike as much as we do! - Schwinn Team
My husband and I use the bike for a workout that is easy on our joints but gives us the benefit of fairly intensive exercise. It is comfortable and easy to use. We leave it set up in a spare bedroom and it doesn't take up much room at all.
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Easy To Set Up, Easy To Use
