Spin Bike Range Guide
Spin bikes have surged in popularity over the last 10 years in Australia, and absolutely explosed during COVID with all those cyclists stuck at home needing something to keep them fit. A growth of spin-classes at local gyms embedded this style of exercise as a great way to build up stamina and lose weight.
A spinning-bike session involves getting the heavy spinning flywheel up to a chosen speed and keeping it there. There’s no heart-rate control. There are no programs. It’s you and bike, just like when you go for a long ride on a road bike. It's all about maintaining momentum.
The reason spin bikes are so good for stamina and weight loss is that they’re a great way to get your heart-rate up to a good level and keep it there.
Spin bikes don’t come with all the bells and whistles of an upright bike. If you want programs and fancy feedback, then definitely look at gym bikes, but if you’re after an experience in your home to mimic the spin class from the local gym, a spin bike’s for you.
Spin bikes can be a little noisy. The fast spinning flywheel makes a whirring noise, so again, if you’re planning to put this into the family room, consider an upright bike which is whisper quiet thanks to its magnetic resistance.
We’d also urge you to consider a heart-rate monitor in conjunction with your new spin bike. Knowing what your heart is doing while you exercise is a sure way to optimise your workouts for maximum fitness and weight-loss benefit.
Spin cycles in Australia come from a small number of popular brands, which you will see in the product list above.
You no longer need to go to the local gym for a spin class - use a spin cycle in the comfort of your own home, and exercise under your own control!
