    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.

    Bike is way fun. It's nice to use with their app and watch streaming videos that you can't do with many others.

    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!

    It is a defective product. The bike itself is steady, but the console keep freezing and restart itself. Takes average 10mins for it to finally get to the work out page and get a hour ride and then it keep the cycle again. I am hesitant about return it because we already put it together, but might still do it

    Have been using the bike 3-4 times a week since I got it. Highly recommend. The Journey membership is a fraction of the price of peloton and well worth it. I have lost 15 lbs so far.

    Love the bike, great programs, music and you can also watch Netflix and Prime videos. I’ve only owned it for a couple of weeks and the only thing I wished it had was automatic resistance adjustment! Other than that great bike!

    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.

    Great Bike, cheaper than Peloton but still has a subscription service that you have to pay yearly. Wheel makes a clicking sounds sometimes.

    Incredible Bike, lots of fun, Awful software

    This bike is is incredible, fun to ride and the side-to-side lean option makes it more engaging and helps make it not so boring. The bike is great, the only downside to this bike is the Bowflex JRNY application that you have to subscribe to. The software is junk, and worthless and the fact that they charge for it is a joke. They actually should pay owners to use this crappy application. it has nothing new, and the recorded videos are a silly and so bad. They never have new content and it never changes or offers anything to help you advance. So great bike, lousy software.
