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!

Recently purchased this connect bike and the rower a few months prior. Best new addiction and I’m in the best shape of my life. Just about to receive my 100 ride tshirt. Thank you Echelon and all the incredibly inspirational instructors.. Steven B. · echelonfit.com
