Absolutely love it!!! So much I bought one for each of my sons also so a total of 3!! It’s quiet and I feel like I’m in an actual Spinning Class!! I’m retired so I had to purchase another seat that’s a little more comfortable. It arrived in a few days took about 15-20 minutes to put it together and was ready to go!Good quality product! It’s in my bedroom so I do 30 minutes first thing in the morni GARY R. · sunnyhealthfitness.com
