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!

This bike is the best gift I have given myself ever! So easy to get started and use. The classes are fantastic and there are a wide variety of workouts for every level of fitness. The bike itself super quite and doesn't take up lots of space. The seat takes some time to get used to but once your body adjusts it great. I especially love the coated handles really helps maintain a grip during challen Lillian P. · echelonfit.com
