A Review of ProForm Exercise Bikes

Most people would think that riding a stationary bike would be boring compared to actually going outside in a real bike and sweating it out as you manage various terrains and surfaces. If this is your belief, then you must have never tried a ProForm exercise bike. Proform has a long line of models of stationary bikes that can give any fitness enthusiast a full workout or the required training for that race you plan to join.

ProForm Exercise Bike Pros

Reasonable Price – Whatever you budget is, there is a ProForm exercise bike that will be right for you. Of course, the cheaper models would carry fewer features, but if you only want a bike that you can use for your daily work out, then even the lower end models would do. Do not worry about quality as ProForm exercise bikes are known to be sturdy and quiet machines.

Accurate Simulation – You can map out your own route in a ProForm exercise bike or use one of the pre-set maps through the iFit technology. The machine will then automatically adjust its tilt and resistance to mimic the terrain and surface in the route that you have chosen. In other words, it is like enjoying the challenges of a ride outside even if you are in the comfort of your home. 

Pre-Installed Programs – Another good thing about ProForm bikes is they come with workout program applications. Depending on the model, you can follow 12 or 24 programs to reach your goal of losing weight or getting fit. It is like having a professional trainer without the added cost.

ProForm Exercise Bike Cons

Short Warranty – Most ProForm exercise bikes only come with a 90-day parts and labor warranty. This is a dismay since other brands can offer up to a year or more. Nonetheless, you can always purchase an extended warranty, but that would entail extra costs.

Design Issues – Some users have complained about the bottle holder being awkwardly placed, limiting the size of the bottle that you can put in it, and also about the location of the computer cord that places it at risk to get tangled up in the wheel. These problems, however, are minor and can be solved with a little ingenuity.
