    All items in box and easy installation. bike is sturdy and well made. When you first get on your bike you have an assessment that sees where you are physically to establish a good starting point. The Jrny program caters to you and allows you gradual growth. It come out to like $12 a month for all access which is such a good health investment. The instructors are right there with you and are motivational through each work out. This is my first stationary bike and I am completely excited to working out each day on it. Unlike other stationary bikes it has a button that allows you to lean and get the feel of a real bike to engage more muscles. If you are not a fan of gyms and group workouts this is the perfect thing for you to get in your own zone and get your health up. It is designed for all levels from beginner to expert and allows you to gradually challenge and motivate yourself. I know it may seem like a lot of money up front, but I promise it is well worth it to get your heart health back on track or to get it even stronger. You will be able to easily use your bike each and everyday. Stop thinking so much and just invest in yourself!

    Overall it's a great exercise bike. The ability to lean left and right definitely adds another dimension to the workouts. I chose the 16" console since this was cheaper and I don't use it every day. If I were more serious about working out I would probably go with the 22" console. I did find it frustrating that most of the features are stuck behind a paywall (meaning you have to subscribe to the monthly service) for workout videos. Without the subscription you get very very few options to chose from. You get two months of the free trial with the purchase, but in my opinion the free trial should be for the first year. My spouse and I also found the seat to be uncomfortable and switched it out for the larger one advertised on Bowflex's website. Bestbuy didn't carry it.

    One of the best values out there. This was very simple to put together with the YouTube video provided by the manufacturer. This bike is well made and sturdy. I am 6’4 and 230 and I feel secure riding this machine. The absolute icing on the cake is the large viewing monitor that allows you to catch on the latest tv series and movies while you remain productive. This is a win win!

    I’d give this bike a 3.5-4. I think it would be a much smoother ride if it was more digital or just had a better option for shorter people. The seat does hurt the goods.. I’m kind of hoping it softens up as I use it more. Delivery-wise. It arrived blemished. Lots of scratches and a few dents. It wasn’t until I unboxed it that I noticed a piece had torn through the box and took a beating but the size and weight of the bike just wasn’t worth trying to repack it for return. Also, I figured if I requested a new one, the same handling experience would be received, possibly worse. It’s always a bummer to receive an expensive item pre-damaged but now I know the result of ordering ship to home from Best Buy.

    I like it, although you'll need a different seat. The one it comes with is hard, used it for one day and was sore all day the following day. Sore in places I shouldn't be. However, with a gel seat, it's much better. I like that you can go through different towns and countries while riding. Makes it so much more enjoyable than looking out the window.

    I have used my bike EVERY SINGLE DAY since buying it except Sunday’s (my flip day from nights to days and my rest day) and my two teenage boys have used it SEVERAL TIMES since I bought it. I love the journey around the world workouts both with a coach and without one. My boys like the ability to watch Netflix while on the bike. I also love that it comes with a year’s membership to JRNY which is full of workouts not just for the bike but also full body workouts as well! I’m definitely going to get my moneys worth out of this bike!!!

    Assembly was very straightforward, took my wife and I about an hour and a half. Screen is bright and clear. I have concerns about the Android OS and long-term updates (if Netflix, Disney, etc. stop supporting the version of Android being used, will Bowflex update the OS or sell an updated screen/tablet?) I've only had the bike for a few days, so I can't speak to long-term usage, but first impressions are that the bike is solid, the riding experience is comfortable, and I'm looking forward to my journey with JRNY! We've added a padded seat cover for additional comfort.

    With insane drop in proce, I had to pitchasr this Velocore spin bike. Aftet the delivery and setup, I noticed a grinding/clickinh sound from the flywheel. I called Bowflex who immediately replaced the faulty flywheel. The issue is that my bike was produced in 2020 but has sat in a warehouse until now so the flywheelsbearings had dried out which needs to br replaced. Buy the bike but beware this could happen to you. Upur serial number will denote the year the bike was made.

    This bike offers so much. The versatility in the settings, the movements of the bike, the different cities that you are able to venture while you are exercising is all an added bonus. I love that you are also able to complete different body workouts instead of just focusing on cardio. This bike is an amazing addition to the rest of my exercise equipment.

    We've been NordicTrack customers for years. While we liked the quality of their products, encountered nothing but problems with the iFit software. The NordicTrack/iFit support couldn't figure out what was going wrong. Nautilus/Bowflex is really the only other option out there for multiple exercise machines using a different app, JRNY. As such, we've been converting over the Bowflex line of machines and just added this VeloCore bike. Love it ..but much more importantly, love the JRNY app which works great!
