Bowflex C7 Bike - Black

Meh. No prebuilt workouts. Just with membership. Can use any app with it. Seat is very uncomfortable and makes my legs fall asleep.

Best Buy had this bike on a 1 day flash sale for $800. At that price it was a no brainer. The C7 is very similar to a Bowflex C6 or Schwinn IC4 but with a screen attached for streaming and some modifications to the handle bars. Seat and handle bars are fully adjustable up/down and front/back. Pedals are cage on one side and SPD Clipless on the other side. Also they are a standard pedal thread so get any pedals you want. Installation also very simple. Bike comes mostly assembled. Just install seat, seat post, pedals, weight/bottle holder, handlebars, screen and lower stabilizer feet. All the major mechanicals of the bike are already assembled. 30 to 60 minutes tops. The box was a little beat up when I got it but the contents were well packaged and nothing damaged inside. I couldn't find any documentation for the JRNY free trial that was supposed to be included. After a quick online chat with bowflex they gave me a code for a free year of the app otherwise it is $150 a year. Bike is very stable. Only complaints are you have to use JRNY app to stream Netflix/Prime, etc. However, I got a year of the app free, $150 a year isn't bad, and I actually like the content on the JRNY app. Also while the bike is compatible with peloton, zwift, and all that the built in screen, which is just a modified android tablet won't allow you to install those apps. You would have to stream to a separate device. But none of these cons takes away from my satisfaction with the bike especially at the price I paid. If you can get this bike under $1000, which is not hard to find at that price, I think it is the best value bike under $1k

Yeah, so you know the 'Pandemic 20' was a easy gain for me. Missing the gym, I researched various bikes (you know the one), and this was the clear winner. I'm not a 'diehard cyclist' but enjoy getting out on my bike when I can. For the price this can't be beat. There are other models with 'bells and whistles' but this has all the features I need to track my progress and challenge me. Solid, seems well-built and yes I would recommend to my friends.

The 2 stars is a very graceful offering. The delivery from BB was great. The equipment is as advertised. Solid frame. The software is garbage!!! From the moment I powered on the screen, there has been nothing but software updates and error messages. I contacted Bowflex the day after assembly and received a generic "Thanks for contacting us...we're working hard to resolve your issue..." message, but have heard nothing since. The most frustrating thing is that email is the only way to resolve the issue. I did contact customer service by phone, but was referred to the support link on the bike's monster. Very disappointed in that I own the Treadmill 10. Will be returning this bike this weekend.

It is a great bike. Easy to set up. It said it came with a free 2 month trial of JRNY but there was nothing in the box,but I got in contact with bowflex and they gave me a free year of the JRNY app. I recommend doing the initial workout if you are using the JRNY app so you can get workouts tailored to you. I have been riding a bike on a trainer for a while but the workouts with this thing almost know kicked my but. If you are looking for a good workout bike at a cheap price this one is great. I would wait tell you see it on sale. I picked it up for 899. Great purchase. The screen is helpful especially for the HIIT workouts.

Very smooth and very quiet. Seat a little hard, had to install a gel cushion. Wish the handle bars would elevate farther up, have to bend over to far making it almost too uncomfortable for long rides. If they rose up farther would have given this a 5 star review.

This bike is amazing I use the peleton app on my tablet

Nice for me. I'm a beginner and the interface was easy for me to follow and put in my personal info. The seat is hard and a little uncomfortable, but overall, good machine and I would've given it a 5 star rating.
