    This bike is so amazing. The shipping was fast. The item arrived damage free. I’m glad I decided to choose this bike and I look forward to 2022 and the magic it will bring.

    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!

    The bike itself is excellent quality and was easy to assemble. The tablet picture is nice as well. However, the software leaves much to be desired. Sometimes it doesn't wake up when you pedal, tap it, or hit a button on the back. In two weeks, I've had to unplug it twice to get it to reset. There is no way to turn it completely off unless you unplug it. It's lost the connection to the bike during two workouts and ended them halfway through. The resistance updates very slowly when you spin the knob. Also, not only do you need to pay for a jrny subscription to use Netflix, etc., you also must start a workout before you can use them. It'd be nice if you could just immediately load a streaming service and do your own thing manually. The workout bar that sits over the streaming service is nice, but when doing a leaning workout it doesn't indicate when to lean. Honestly, I'm hoping they loosen up on the streaming restrictions before my free year is up--or somebody roots it reliably so I can stream freely. Oh, and you'll probably want to buy the comfort seat from Bowflex unless you have no nerve endings in your rump. Both my wife and I were hurting for like a day after sitting on it for 15 minutes. Great bike @ $800, but I wouldn't pay a nickel more.

    In less than 24 hours its now broken. It was good at first and everything work and now it wont let me work out i guess i have to call the support number and probably spend hours doing so. I search the problem on reddit and apparently people been having the same issues a year ago and apparently bowflex never decided to fix it for new products.

    This is a great exercise bike. I recommend upgrading to the more cushy seat. The screen is clear, and the options for exercise keep it interesting. You can also watch Netflix or Hulu while you pedal. I like that I can stand and pedal for a greater workout range. I opted to have Best Buy put it together. They hire a 3rd party, and they did a fantastic job! No extra parts, and they took the box and filler with them. Definitely worth the extra cost. I got the smaller screen because the larger was not available, but I am very satisfied with the smaller screen, and am glad this is the one I purchased. No regrets!

    It’s a sturdy bike and Easy to assemble yourself. One tip when considering home equipment is looking at the membership prices. This one isn’t live but offers challenging and great workouts. They added the category of full body workouts besides the cycling programs. I enjoy the lean and the screen size is nice. I never thought a cycling bike would make me sweat this much. Definitely great cardio that isn’t hard on the knees

    I'm not a big fan of spin bikes at all but got this on an extremely good deal. Feels very sturdy and well machined. My only complaint is the lean feature send a tad more difficult to do on one side versus the other but that could just be me getting used to it. I like the app it has plenty for you but I do prefer the layout and classes from peloton better, I think Bowflex has just a different approach to it and if you would rather have a virtual coach better than an experienced coach you would like it more but that's honestly personal preference. It was pretty easy to assemble out of the box I'm in no way in the best shape or strongest person at all either. Only issue I've had is long periods of no use it lists my log in information and my wifi may not be strong enough where I have it but it connects and works fine when I use it. I would recommend having a strong connection or close to your router for sure though.

    Solid build and I love the lean function. The screen is nice. JRNY app has a ton of options and having the first year included for free in my purchase was a great bonus. I assembled this on my own with the help of a YouTube video and it only took an hour. I'd recommend this bike to others.
