Peloton Bike
Price: $2,245 in total or $49 per month¹. You’ll also pay $39 per month for a Peloton All-Access membership and $13 per month for access to live and on-demand classes.
The Peloton bike is one of the hottest and most in-demand home exercise bikes available. It was an absolute revolution in home exercise when it first launched, and since then Peloton has remained ahead of the curve, offering increasingly more benefits for Peloton bike owners.
While the Peloton is quite an investment with a high upfront cost and a monthly membership fee, it has a ton to offer. With a built-in HD screen, you can connect with Peloton instructors anywhere for live weekly classes – and during those classes, instructors can shout you out in real time as you perform. There’s also an extensive library of on-demand workouts that range from five minutes to 90 minutes long, with varying levels of difficulty and types of exercise.
Whether you’re all about cycling or want to incorporate strength training, Peloton offers it all. Your bike will become a one-stop workout shop, offering everything from yoga and meditation to bootcamps to classic cycling. As one of the smartest home exercise bikes available, it’ll only get better over time too.
Schwinn Airdyne AD7
Price: $899, with financing options available².
The Schwinn Airdyne AD7 is a new addition to Schwinn’s lineup, and it’s high-tech and highly innovative. Built with new air resistance technology, this home exercise bike offers long-term durability and allows for top-tier performance. You’ll be able to challenge yourself in entirely new ways right at home – and this is one stationary bicycle that’s tough.
From your very first workout, the Schwinn Airdyne AD7 will test and challenge you. In fact, workouts with the bike never get easier – you have to get stronger. The harder you pedal, the more resistance you’ll create, meaning you can increase or decrease the intensity of your workout. You’ll get a total body workout from your feet to your arms. And while you cycle, the bike allows you to track your statistics, offering data on your calories burned, workout length, distance traveled, RPMs, pulse, and speed.
But this Schwinn stationary bike is more than just a cycling tool. You can actually do all different types of workouts on the bike, from HIIT to total body cardio to circuit workouts. The bike even allows you to focus on different parts of the body, like using your legs alone or your arms solo on the handlebars.
Bowflex VeloCore Bike
Price: Starts at $1,699 for a 16-inch console³. To access live and on-demand workouts via the console, you’ll also need to pay for a JRNY membership, which costs $19.99 per month or $149 per year.
The Bowflex Velocore Bike is so much more than a basic stationary bike. In fact, you could say it isn’t stationary at all – this smart home exercise bike is actually more like a real bicycle that allows you to lean, shift, and sway while riding. This cool bike can tilt, sway, and move in different ways to provide a more realistic ride, and you’ll “travel” anywhere on the included HD screen. It’s great for those who want to workout their entire bodies. However, you can also choose to lock the bike in stationary mode too.
The Velocore is one seriously versatile bike. It does work with the Bowflex JRNY membership program, which offers you a whole library of on-demand workouts with experienced trainers with different levels of experience and challenges. However, if you want to go at it solo, the Velocore bike also works with a number of other fitness apps; you can even connect your smartphone to the bike’s screen and use a Peloton membership, Zwift subscription, or other fitness platform.
You’ll always be able to challenge yourself and meet new fitness goals with the Bowflex Velocore. It features 100 different resistance levels, comes with three-pound dumbbells, and includes a Bluetooth heart rate armband so you can try different workouts all on a single device.
NordicTrack Commercial S22i Studio Cycle
Price: $1,999 in total or $57 per month with financing⁴. A free one-year iFit membership is included; after the first year, membership costs $396 annually.
The NordicTrack Commercial S22i Studio Cycle is a rival to the Peloton Bike. In fact, it’s quite similar: there’s a hefty initial investment required, and the bike includes a membership that allows you to access a wealth of cycling classes in real time or on demand. You can workout with live instructors, browse your favorite instructors on demand, and get great visuals with the built-in HD screen.
And the NordicTrack Commercial S22i Studio Cycle also offers more. It allows you to ride the bike like a traditional stationary bike, “traveling” to exotic destinations on your bike onscreen with images and scenery from locales like Switzerland, Utah, and more passing by. Want to change things up? The NordicTrack online library includes on-demand strength workouts as well as cycling classes.
The biggest benefit of this smart and well-connected home exercise bicycle is it’s still growing. This bike will only get better over time as NordicTrack expands its available classes and workouts daily.
