An exercise bike is an investment. There’s no denying that fact. But the same can be said for any piece of gym equipment that you decide to get for your own home workout setup.
But if you’re willing to invest in your health at home, then you want to make sure you’re getting all of the benefits of in person classes. That means having a way to stay motivated, and the Echelon EX-5s, which I think is one of the best exercise bikes around, is the perfect way to do that.
It offers live classes and a community to keep you motivated, and can even save you money if you’re someone who regularly attends a fitness class that can cost up to $30 a session.
A worthwhile investment
The Echelon EX-5s Smart Connect Bike is available for $999 at Amazon U.S., which is a pretty big investment, and then you need to pay an annual membership fee. But if you’re someone who spends a lot of money on gas heading back and forth to the gym, and then pays extra to sign on to spin classes, this is going to be a worthwhile investment
The annual membership fee is $399, and with this, you have access to pre-recorded workout sessions, live sessions, and guided tours. The best part though is the sense of community you get from the competitive nature of the program. The instructors will encourage you, and you can even see how other people in the live sessions are doing.
Included in the membership is access to an even wider catalog of other workouts. It can be used in conjunction with other workout machines and even offers video HIIT sessions to get your sweat on off the bike too.
From the comfort of your own home
Heading to the gym can be totally overwhelming at times, and that’s often part of the reason people miss their gym sessions. So having your workout right there in the comfort of your home is totally ideal.
It’s nice to interact with real-life humans in workout classes, but after a long day of work and commuting, I want nothing more than to lock myself away from the world, so that’s where the Echelon comes in.
It means I get to spend more time at home with my loved ones rather than driving to and from the gym, and I can even have my dinner cooking while I work out — it’s such a time saver.
