Customer Ratings & Reviews

The bike is heavy, but pretty easy to assemble. My only problem is that it is not easy to use if you do NOT have a JRNY membership. Only received 2 months free even though I thought the offer was a year before I purchased. Also can’t access a different fitness membership that I have even though it’s Bluetooth capable. Frustrating.

Saw lots of complaints about the software on Amazon, have this bike for about a month now and I don’t see any issues with it. Love the machine. Only Con is that it does occasionally make a rattling noise

Very sturdy, easy to use and exactly as expected. I looked through many bikes brands and styles. This one fit the bill with weight capacity and function. My husband who loves to ride bike is most excited about the leaning feature.

Me and my wife have enjoyed our journey on this bike. It gives you that edge to push yourself while also adventuring many different trails throughout cities and nature. Allows you to really focus on a pleasant bike ride or push your limits in becoming more fit. Bowflex really has the best exercising equipment hands down. Original seat is a bit uncomfortable but Bowflex has a more comfortable option for purchase online. Great product for anyone!

The Bowflex VeloCore Bike is an impressive addition to the home fitness market. This intelligent exercise bike goes beyond the traditional, offering a variety of features that set it apart in a competitive field. Its 16" console is one of the key highlights - offering a crisp, clear display that is easy to navigate and adjust according to your workout needs. First and foremost, the VeloCore Bike stays true to the Bowflex commitment of delivering a sturdy, high-quality piece of exercise equipment. The bike is well-constructed and stable, providing a secure platform for intense workouts. It accommodates users of different heights and fitness levels, thanks to its adjustable seat and handlebars. The pedals are also well-designed, allowing for comfortable and efficient pedaling. Where the Bowflex VeloCore Bike truly shines is in its unique lean mode, an innovative feature that engages the whole body by simulating the feel of a real road bike ride. This leaning feature is not only fun, but it also enhances the workout by engaging more muscle groups, particularly the core. The 16" console comes with an intuitive interface that offers a broad range of workouts and other interactive features. The bike integrates with the JRNY app, allowing users to experience personalized coaching, track their progress, and compete against their own best scores. It also offers entertainment options like streaming services, turning a rigorous exercise routine into an enjoyable experience. However, no product is without its drawbacks. The Bowflex VeloCore Bike is on the higher end of the price spectrum, which could deter budget-conscious consumers. Additionally, while the JRNY app provides excellent training programs and entertainment options, it requires a separate subscription, further adding to the cost. All in all, the Bowflex VeloCore Bike is a top-tier piece of fitness equipment that delivers a robust, immersive exercise experience. It bridges the gap between traditional cycling and the modern demand for interactive, engaging workouts. Despite its relatively high price and the additional cost for the app, the VeloCore Bike offers excellent value, particularly for those seeking a high-quality, high-engagement indoor cycling experience. If you're willing to invest in your fitness journey, the Bowflex VeloCore Bike is well worth considering.

I have owned several different bikes and this by far is the very best one I have ever had. It was easy to assemble and the quality is fantastic. It's very smooth and quiet. I highly recommend this bike by Bowflex.

Great for working out at home if you don’t want to go to the gym or don’t have time. There’s different setting depending on if you’re a beginner or more advanced. Love using it while I stream my favorite shows. The work outs are just right and challenging at the same time, will definitely look into getting more exercise equipment from the same brand. The only downside is the space it takes and how heavy it is but that’s on a personal level.

Overall we love this exercise bike, the ease of use is amazing the only downside may be the membership if you choose to purchase. Also the seat may be uncomfortable, upgrades are available.

This is the best investment a purchase it. Easy to ride love the motivation that the computer tells you the only reason a given 4 start because the sit suck its hard like a rock a change to my set bike to be a little more esy.. but overall do everything it said. Specially if you have problems with your back this is the way to go low impact and you want to loose weight .

Pretty easy set up, lots of options for new and challenging workouts. I would sugest investing in a nicer saddle. But very good overall.

I just received and used my new Bowflex Velocore 16 bike for the first time yesterday. It gives you an amazing workout. I absolutely love the ability to lean with this bike as well. The only complaint that I have is that the seat is absolutely horrible. You may want to prepare yourself to either buy a gel pad for the seat, or to purchase a bigger seat altogether, like I did. The JRNY app takes a little getting used to, but with minimal computer tech skills, it should be no problem for you. All in all, I am satisfied with my purchase and I highly recommend this bike.

Overall happy with the purchase as we were looking for a more professional quality piece for our home gym. I would absolutely recommend having the bestbuy installation as it was quick and stress free! I did bump it down 1 star since there are only a few options for workout programs unless you have a monthly membership and for the price I would expect more built-in basic workout programs.

Overall I love this bike. I had a Proform 10” screen and wanted to upgrade to a larger screen. iFIT was more than I wanted to pay monthly so decided to go with JRNY. LOVE the screen and JRNY. Also, love the ability to lean while riding. I do wish there was a magnetic resistance control vs manual, being able to listen to your Apple Music, and a QR code to scan and login vs entering login and password each time. I wouldn’t go smaller than the 16” screen. I have the 22” screen on my Bowflex treadmill and it is sweet

I love the bike. However, at this time I have to be satisfied with the workouts which come with the bike. I subscribed to Jrny but was not able to connect my phone to the machine. The word connect does not appear in front Velocore 16. I purchased the three year extended guarantee, and I hope this issue will be resolved. The bike is solid and the pedal has dual functiontily. You can clip on which I do or use regular tennis shoes. It also has a lever which allow the bike lean to the right or the left. It helps with the core strength. I have been riding it for six weeks solid and find a super fun machine. I am so happy I purchased it. I ride my road bike during latte spring thru early fall. Therefore, for about five months I was denied of it this workout. Now, I can workout year round. By the way, Wire Cutter and Consumer Reports reviews were greatly helpful. The Bowflex Youtube assembly video was greatly helpful.

We did lots of research and read many reviews before settling on the VelCore. The features, quality of construction and functionality are simply amazing. The price point was reasonable and far exceeded our expectations for such a fine piece of equipment.

I love this indoor bike. I really like how you can unlock the bike to lean in either direction. It feels more like riding an outdoor bike. All adjustments are easy to reach and change. I did buy the Bowflex comfort seat which is much wider and softer than the small seat that comes with the bike. The 22 inch screen is also very nice.

Bike is great, seat is horrible. Had to purchase te larger more cushioned seat

Absolutely love this bike the ease of use and sturdiness is amazing.

Excellent product. Works as advertised. Great quality and features.

I love the bike but would love it more if I could use it regularly. I didn't realize the seat was so horribly uncomfortable! It was actually more difficult to overcome the pain caused by the seat than to do the workouts. I ended up purchasing a gel seat cover in hopes that it would alleviate the discomfort to my butt, lower back, and other unmentionable areas; it did not. So, I ordered an oversized seat but having recently had rotator cuff surgery I couldn't manage to get the old seat off! With my husband being deployed overseas I waited until someone could come help me. I got my new seat put on last night so I'm eager to see if this makes it better. I'm also having an issue with the tablet. When I power it off it comes back on so I have to power it off again; I go through this cycle two to three times every time I attempt to turn it off. I would only recommend this item along with another seat.
