“Now, I’ve ridden a lot of indoor cycling bikes, but this one has become my favorite,” Stern says. Jenna Stern, an instructor at Fitler Club and City Fitness in Philadelphia, calls this Life Fitness Bike the “Benz of bikes.” It comes with an LED display to track your ride’s intensity, and offers 100 levels of resistance for super-precise control of the challenge. Need some inspiration? Here, we asked indoor cycling instructors for recommendations on the best exercise bikes to use for home workouts, and added some of our favorite SELF-approved models, as well. “Quality is so important if you plan to have it for the long run.” As with most fitness machines, if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is,” says Quayed. Many of the most advanced options that offer LCD screens, or are full-service bikes like the Peloton, will set you back anywhere from several hundred dollars to a few thousand-depending on features. The best exercise bikes and Spin bikes for using at home can come with a steep price tag, so also consider your budget. “Can you self-motivate enough to have just a standalone bike, or do you need a full-service bike such as the Peloton?” (Full-service bikes like Peloton offer interactive live classes, though you can also use apps like CycleCast to supplement your ride.) Some bikes even offer racks and accessories for storing other exercise equipment.Īnd ask yourself how much support you’ll need too, says Emily Collins, a Los Angeles–based indoor cycling instructor at Verve Studios. Maybe you want one with a padded seat for added comfort, ergonomic handles for an easier grip, an LCD screen for following guided workouts, or WiFi connectivity to sync up to your playlist of choice. You’ll probably want one with a console (a bike’s monitor display), so you can track your metrics and know how far you’ve gone in a set amount of time, she says that’s key to monitoring your progress and setting goals. Then consider which features are important to you and your fitness goals. And as with just about any kind of exercise, “there really is no fitness level you need to achieve before getting started.”īefore you make the plunge, gather some intel first: Think about the bikes you liked at different studios and gyms, and jot down some pros and cons of each, Quayed says.

“Indoor cycling really is suitable for every level of fitness because you completely control your own resistance and speed,” says Natalie Qayed, NASM-certified personal trainer and master instructor at Cycle Haus Nashville.

Stationary bikes also allow a certain level of engagement that a road bike can’t give you, syncing up to fitness apps though Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity.
It’s also a low-impact form of exercise that’s easy on the joints, and unlike biking, pedaling indoors allows you to sneak in a tough cardio workout without taking to the streets. One reason indoor cycling has gotten so much love is that it’s a great form of exercise for beginners to get started with. Many studios are beginning to offer spin classes once again, but if you're cautious to set foot in a gym or studio setting these days, investing in an indoor Spin bike for your home gym is still a great idea for staying active. During the height of the pandemic and social distancing, at-home fitness boomed.
