Exercise Bike

This article is going to be a review on ProForm exercise bike, because there are so many models of ProForm exercise bike many people will get confused and simply can’t make the decision on which on to buy. I will not be discussing each and every model here of course but I will only discuss the most popular and best exercise bike by Proform such as the ProForm RS 30 Recumbent Bike.

ProForm RS 30 Recumbent Bike

The ProForm RS30 Recumbent Bike is hard to beat at the price they’re selling for…it’s simply a value for money and here’s why…

First of all the RS30 is only suitable for those looking for a comfortable exercise to replace the evening ride on an actual bike. The reason why is because instead of standing while you’re pedaling hard on a Upright exercise bike a recumbent bike actually has a backrest and you’re pedaling in front so you can’t stand up, this reduces the intensity.

The good thing about this is your joints won’t take the punishing and exercising stopped becoming such a chore and pain. For the first time you might be able to keep your exercise routine and make it a lifestyle! Another thing very impressive about the RS30 is its amazingly quiet because it uses magnet as resistance rather than belt. (did I say it’s also trouble free?)

This is great when you actually want to watch the TV, talk on the phone or just avoid irritating the hell out of your spouse. The RS 30 costs an estimated $299

ProForm CrossTrainer 55 recumbent bike

If however you are a bodybuilder or you just want to pack some steel into your muscle (not bulky but lean and strong) then the ProForm CrossTrainer 55 Recumbent bike is made for you. The reason is because CrossTrainer 55 (CT 55) can be converted into a weightlifting bench with some small and easy adjustment, there’s also a small weight rack underneath it for convenience.

You can also use the iFit technology available on CT 55 to download exercise programs from the internet. ( this is so cool, we don’t need to hire or remember complex exercise steps and trainers)

The ProForm CrossTrainer 55 Recumbent Bike costs an estimated $445.

Proform GL 35 Upright Exercise Bike Review

Now if you’re low on budget but still wants a good exercise bike then I would suggest that you get the Proform GL 35 Upright Exercise bike. It costs around $199. My philosophy is that you get what you pay for but in this case the GL 35 really performed beyond my expectation looking at the features and user friendliness. (easy to use and quiet) It has all the basic features such as the grip pulse sensor and built in workouts but the feature that got my attention is the iFit technology just like the CrossTrainer 55.

If you’re tight on budget get the GL 35, otherwise you will be better off with the other two above.

Conclusion

Choosing an exercise bike is not easy but we have the best ProForm exercise bike with the largest price range on this article so I believe you will be able to make the decision fairly easy. The conclusion is get RS 30 if you’re just looking to exercise for basic health reason, CT 55 for intense and building the muscles in your body and if you’re tight on budget gets the GL 35 Upright for a value for money and an intense cardiovascular workout.
