    This bike is awesome! It is sturdy and solid, and easy to manage. The Jurny app has a lot of features and I love watching Netflix while I ride. There is also music and scenery to keep you engaged. I sweat a lot with each use.

    Happy with purchase however I use look delta clips on my road bike and so my shoes will not work with the spd pedals they supply. So I now have an added expense of purchasing new pedals. Bike is so well made comparable to bowflex exercise equipment they are known for. The training sessions help motivate you. I am not one for live spinning classes that's why I did not purchase the peleton. The ability to link to zwift is a win situation. Waiting for a new company called shift to create the ability to automatically shift tension which makes riding zwift so much better. They presently have a beta test for the peleton bike. All in all very pleased with the purchase.

    Great Bike but not so for support!

    Great bike but the support is not as good as I hoped. Took about an hour for two of us to setup the bike. I called tech support for an issue and I was on hold for a little over an hour before someone answered. If support is important to you, I would probably look at other bikes. I do like the fact that the bike will lean as you ride. It is a little more difficult with the lean and that engages a few more mussels. The display is good and there are a lot of choices of where and how to ride. The musical choices are a bit limited and I wish they offered classical music as a choice. The bike should get 5 stars and the support should get 3. Average is 4 and that's why I've given it what I did.

    I'm a big Bowflex fan, owning quite a few of their items (treadmill, selettech weights and kettlebell, etc), but their exercise bikes (Velocore 16 and C7) are horrible. While the frame is solid and built well, the tension knob is stiff and the tension is way off from the knob to the screen. I would turn the knob twice and the cadence would barely change. I'm done with Bowflex exercise bikes. The Schwinn IC4 is so much better...same company, different mechanics???

    Great bike, love the ability to lean left/right to activate core muscles. A great option is to watch netflix, Hulu, prime video and Disney. Most evenings I watch a movie while on bike, great option if you feel like moving and watching a movie. It was super simple to connect the internet and set an apps.

    I like everything about it and a free year subscription to go with it too? Very very good. If you buy this get the total tech membership first and get your delivery and install for free and you've already got your money back on your total tech membership

    When it's a flash or daily deal it's an absolute steal. You get the class free for a year and it's cheaper then the competitors afterwords. Best value in an exercise bike and helps your core more

    Excellent purchase. Enjoying having it in the house as a great way to get ready to ride outside when the temperature allows it. The included Jrny app subscription is awesome! Wide variery of exercises and also has a nice option to virtually bike through various parts of the world. Love it!

    My husband loves this bike and how it feels like you are actually riding a bike, but you can also make it stationary. We purchased when it was on a great sale and have been very pleased so far.

    We had the Velocore 22" for 2 weeks, and returned it. I thought the "lean" feature was mildly interesting, possibly annoying (though you can always lock it, of course), and at the cost of a more complicated bike that also comes with a shorter warranty. I didn't think the "upper body workout" was significant enough to justify the downsides. JRNY has great elements to it, and the thing I liked best about the bike. I really like the "adaptive" workout features, and the "dial" telling you at all ties exactly how hard to work. I like how I could layer a workout over other media, or choose a "real life ride" or music. I also really like the "journal", where I get to see the frequency and calorie-burn of my workouts. It's simple, and motivating! The JRNY workouts are minimally sufficient in number, but I suspect this will grow with time, so this is not a big complaint. The screen quality is mediocre. Not nearly as good as Peleton. The trainers seemed like nice folk, but, perhaps bc all the workouts are filmed without music (you layer your own on top, from categories provided, or from your own library), they are just very straight forward, pretty suburban, and the experience is less exciting/motivating than Peleton or other music-driven classes/rides. Still, there is excellent feedback on how hard you should be working, plus your ride profile past and future is tracked for you in real time, and this might make up for it for the music for some people. It's great. All in, I REALLY like the JRNY app and strongly recommend considering the stationary Bowflex C7 to retain access. Judging from the Velocore (minus lean), the quality is similar to Peleton, but you'll be able to use both JRNY and Peleton apps if you choose. You can't get on the Peleton leaderboard of course, but everything else is functional, and the subscription is only $13/month! See casting note below. The only reason we didn't go this way is because my daughter wanted access to Sufferfest, and Bowflex cannot currently interact with it, or be adapted to do so, unless you buy a $400 "Power meter." Also note that while Peleton and Zwift are "compatible," only the JRNY app will appear on the included screen. The bike will send basic data to these apps, but you will need to connect via your phone/iPad, and if you want a larger screen, cast from there to that larger screen. We went with a Keiser bike, probably the best bike available at home, bc it also connects easily with all the open apps. I love my new bike. But I miss the JRNY app a little.
