What owners single out
In their words
“I am very pleased with my purchase. I bought the bike online from Northern Fitness on Sunday and by Monday at 1pm they had already delivered and set it up for me. I’ve had the bike for about 3 months now. Quality is great, it’s sturdy and a smooth ride. Size is also great if you don’t have a lot of space. Would definitely recommend!”
Kimberly · verified purchase · northernfitness.ca
“I use this bike about 6 days a week for 35-45 minutes a day, its absolutely silent and feels very solid. Changing the resistance is fairly simple but takes some getting used to, having to adjust a knob instead of a button. The digital display is easy to use and displays just what I need without a lot of clutter, and the included heart rate monitor strap works very well!”
