The all the gyms closed shop so we needed to get something to help us get some cardio in. I’m a bigger guy so consumer grade fitness equipment can be tricky. No one wants to walk on a treadmill belt that lags with every step you make or glide on a wobbly elliptical.
Opted for the free delivery and I assembled the bike myself. I’m not terribly handy but I was able to follow the instructions and had it completed in about 90 minutes. In hindsight I would have opted to pay for the Best Buy assembly. It would have added a few days onto the delivery date, which was my biggest concern, but at least someone could’ve gotten a couple extra hours labor to put it together as part of the purchases.
The actual bike has lived up to expectations. It’s extremely stable and easy to level of your floor isn’t. As others have mentioned iFit is prying the set-up. I did a couple of “tours” and they aren’t half bad, but I prefer to listen to music and plan cards. The app itself is actually pretty impressive.
My only complaint is that without the app, the programs aren’t very intuitive. You cycle through programs that are simply labeled P1, P2, etc. Basically, you’re picking a program without knowing what it is. It’s fine once you find one that you like, but man...one time I was pedaling my heart out and it jumped to resistance level 17 and I could barely move my legs! At least we know the resistance levels are strong!
In summary, I am pleased with the purchase and glad I didn’t spend more money on something fancier because I’m not sure how much I’ll use this once life gets back to normal, and I’m also glad that I didn’t buy something too cheap that I’d hate using it during these difficult months.

It was particularly difficult to put together because some of the screws were not perfectly sized. I had to use a drill to get some of them in. Once assembled, it was relatively easy to start to use. I preferred to not use the app that the manufacturer recommended. I just use the manual approach. Pedaling and changing the tension are quite easy. Changing the seat position is a little difficult because you have to push a bar down and then move the seat and then pull the bar back up. If only one person is using the bike, then there's no problem. No need to change. I bought this because of the gym closures. It meets all my needs for a stationary bike and at a very reasonable price.

Purchased this on sale for a great price, it arrived on time as promised. The assembly would have taken just about an hour to put together with two people working on it, however, we had to take apart the lower seat where the brake for underneath hits when you use the adjustment bar. The brake is composed of a semi hard plastic buffer that hits against the incline so we had to adjust it because it wouldn't stay when we'd use the adjustment bar to slide the seat back and forth. Besides that hiccup, assembly was pretty straightforward and easy to read. It works great, have been using it daily (everyone in our household) and was worth the purchase. Thanks Best Buy!

I purchased this bike as soon as things starting shutting down due to COVID. It has been a lot fun using the iFit app and going on bike rides through Chile among other places. I like the fan and having a place for my water bottle. The tablet holder isn’t helpful for me because it doesn’t get small enough to hold my phone nor big enough to hold my iPad. I was disappointed about that but overall it was a great value and I would buy it again.

Great recumbent exercise bike

The Nordic Track recumbent exercise bike was exactly what I was looking for. This bike was on sale at $379.00 and although the seat adjustment is a little clunky it is well worth the price. The regular price was $499.99, which is also a good price. The down side is that it took about 2 1/2 hours to put this bike together but everything was there.

I put this together by myself and did okay. It took several hours. The instructions were very user friendly. Assembly is not one of my better developed skills, and I was able to figure it out. I did not need a second person, even though the directions said I did.
I bought this when the Covid lock down became imminent since I was going to lose access to my spin and exercise classes. It’s a reasonable substitute. It is easy to get started. Has nice features and is comfortable. I’m very happy I have it. Well worth the price given all the lockdown restrictions.

This is a sturdy machine. It took me about 3 hours to put it together by myself, but wasn't difficult. I like this product, it is especially nice since I can't go to the gym ATM. I would recommend this, the price was great and the bike itself is good quality.

Promptly delivered and dropped off. Takes a few hours to assemble but pretty straight forward. Requires an account to activate the cycle which is a pain, but once activated you do not need to use the online services. So far so good with everything.

Bought this for my wife and she loves it. I put it together and its solid. Took about an hour to assemble, very precise fasteners, take your time to assemble. Works great and got at a excellent price. Very easy to use, fans are a nice plus.

This will not work until you signup for an account. You can eventually figure out how to do that without a credit card. Then you need to activate the machine from the app. I almost returned it several times out of frustration.

I have been using this bike for about 3 weeks now. So far it seems solid and I haven't had any problems with it. I wish the tablet holder was adjustable to different positions. I'm happy with my purchase and totally recommend.

We love our new Nordic Track...just what we needed and we are certain we will be using it for a long time. If we had it to do over, we would have had it assembled! It was a pain in the Bum to assemble!!!

I bought this hoping I could get some exercise with it even though I have bad knees. It works well and my knees are doing better! It was not difficult to put together and is a very quiet bike. I love it! My husband worked out at the gym but being they are closed because of the pandemic he has used it and he really likes it too. If you're looking for a good recumbent bike at a good price I highly recommend this one :)

I bought this during the shelter at home time. I’ve had both knees replaced, and it helps with keeping my range of motion good. This bike is much more than I expected for the price. It is very smooth and quiet! It does take some time to assemble.
