I always try and share my learning and fitness journey with the readers on Sushi Fitness. My research into the best home exercise bike is no exception.
This article is going to review three types of home exercise bikes.
Recumbent, spinning, and upright bikes.
As the world was affected in 2020 by the Corona virus and most of us were in quarantine, my wife decided to make the most of her situation. My wife, who I am very proud of, decided to get herself in great shape and began an exercise program.
Working with Russ Yeager on a previous article, one of Russ’s tips for his clients was building a program around what they enjoy. This will give you the best chance at long term commitment and results.
When my wife made the commitment to exercise regularly, she asked me to help develop a program for her. We sat down and talked about what she would enjoy, and I crafted a program around that.
Now, when I say enjoy, I mean dislike slightly less. Unlike myself, my wife does not enjoy working out. It’s a necessary evil for her which I am proud of her for making the commitment and sticking with it. I can only hope that over time it becomes something she can enjoy and no longer a “necessary evil”.
Shortly after we created my wife’s program, she had to decide what she wanted to do on her cardio days. We discussed treadmills, calisthenics, and other possibilities. Something she decided she would enjoy would be to bike once or twice a week.
Instead of buying a bike that she could ride outside we decided it would be a good investment to purchase a home exercise bike. If my wife would use it 2 or 3 times a week, I would probably use it the same, along with our oldest child. This was an investment that we could easily justify spending money on.
However, I didn’t know very much about stationary bikes. I have worked in the fitness world for many years, have taken countless spin classes, and have a few friends who are spin instructors. Still, I had no idea what kind of bike to buy or how much I should spend.
This article is the compilation of my research. From the spin instructors in my personal circle, to online reviews, and bikes I examined. Hopefully compiling the information I learned into one article can save you some time on your research, and help you make the correct purchase for what you are looking for.

If you want the top of the line
The title of this article, “The Best Home Exercise Bike That Won’t Break The Bank” is just that. I wanted to find a bike that had all the features of a top-of-the-line bike without the price tag. As mentioned, this article is a collection of notes from my research and conversations with friends who are professionals and very knowledgeable on this subject.
I did come across some of the premier models available and thought I would leave a link for one of those as a footnote.
The Nordictrack Studio Cycle was strongly considered early on. I read about this bike in several articles and fell in love with the look. It’s a strong alternative to Peloton and it’s about $500 less expensive. If my wife hadn’t put her foot down, this probably would have been the bike I chose.
Albeit, in her wisdom, she was probably right. Since she was new to exercising regularly and I’ve never been a “biker,” we probably should not invest the money on a Nordictrack bike.
Hopefully, this article can help enhance your biking knowledge to make a wiser decision. I made my best effort to provide bullet points from my notes on each bike and provide the highest quality, home exercise bikes that are affordable for the average consumer.

Love the in-depth reviews. you provided great motivation for your family. I really like that you have looked at so many options. I believe the home exercise bike is an excellent machine to invest in. Thank you for the research.
I appreciate the feedback and agree, a home exercise bike is definitely a great investment.
Exercise is always a way of encouraging people to get up and get going, from making your body healthy to practising discipline, constructive and well organised post. I would really love to own one of the machine one day when I have my own place. It was helpful thanks.
Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment.
Did you have a question on one of the home exercise bikes?
