FitDesk Standing Exercise Bike Desk 3.0, Adjustable Height Indoor Cycling Trainer, Tablet Holder, Fitness Table, Portable Exercise Table, Resistance Bands, Home & Office Bike, Supports Up to 300 lbs

If you need to sit at a desk for work, why not get some exercise in? Yes, why not is what I asked myself when I purchased this.
I bought the FitDesk on a Amazon Deal with the expectation I would try the product and need to return it because the quality was poor, it didn’t work as advertised, it didn’t fit, etc… As a result, I waited to write the review until I used the product for a few weeks. The good thing… I still have it!I looked over the reviews and noticed one particular issue that concerned me, specifically the “clicking” noise problem some people reported and am happy to say, after 3 weeks (riding it 5 days a week) and 300 miles on it, I have not come across this problem — the bike is still very quiet to use. I was also concerned with a few people saying it was not stable (it can fall over) — This is certainly not the case. I am 6’3″ at 240 lbs and the bike is solid on the floor — it doesn’t move or wobble at all. It’s a well constructed metal frame that is compact to fit in a corner (even folds to be stored) and is completely stable to ride on.I said I was 6’3″ tall and the bike fits me just fine — I was amazed it did as many products seem to be designed to accommodate people in the 5′ – 6′ range and are limited in their customization. With the FitDesk bike, the seat post can be raised higher for even taller people but the desk portion cannot. As setup, the bike is perfect for me with my computer and the adjustable arm bar works great with the foam pads to rest my arms on while working on my computer. The desk also slides forward and back so I can stretch out my back and change seating positions easily as I ride. I find myself spinning easily during certain online meetings I am attending where I need to speak or am writing emails, and spinning more aggressively when I need to sit and listen.The bike computer is more than adequate, it tells you the time on the bike, your speed, current trip mileage, odometer and calories burned for the session. I like that I can stop, take a break or answer the phone, come back and the bike did not forget my time, distance I traveled and calories burned when I stopped pedaling — it picks up where I left off and only resets everything when I push the reset button. (the odometer, just like a car, always increases and isn’t reset) I know some people want heart monitor functions but if you have a watch (polar, iWatch or other) you likely have a more accurate method of doing it already. I don’t know who close the calorie count is, it’s likely an approximation and should only be treated as an estimate but makes me feel good. (I have an elliptical in the garage which I feel is overly optimistic on how many calories I burn)The bike has a tension knob with a range between 1 & 8, with 1 – 3 being very similar (easy spinning) and 4 – 8 changing the tension more significantly. A good range of tension and will likely meet everyone’s needs.The thing I don’t like about the FitDesk bike is the seat. Others have said this and they are right, it looks like it should be comfortable but is not. I bought the Universal Adaptor as an option and put my own seat on it and am a happy camper now. I wonder why FitDesk doesn’t just ditch the seat they provide and ship the bike with the Universal Adaptor and include a standard seat in the first place? Anyways, if you’re looking at this bike, invest in the adaptor and you can select any seat you want for it.To summarize:Pros* Well made — stable (won’t fall over when you ride it), compact, foldable to be stored and very quiet* Fits tall riders (6 feet +) with a good range of seat adjustment* Really does get used! If you have to sit at a desk, why not spin (even if leisurely)Cons* The seat is horrible — get the universal adaptor FitDesk sells as an option and pick the seat you want.I use this bike every day I am working, pedaling between 15 – 30 miles a day. It’s an easy way to get exercise without stressing about getting enough time before or after work.** Just did 70 mins & 25 miles too 🙂

I ordered this product to my house in Toronto. It came very quickly as it ships directly from a warehouse in Canada and doesn’t have to wait at the border on its way from where its shipped to my house.I assembled it in an hour. Pretty easy and great instructions. Easier than IKEA.It looks very nice and is nice and light so you can fold it up (which is easy to do) and wheel it into the corner each time you are finished using it. My wife will not tolerate a fitness bike in the middle of our TV room.Now the best part. It is the winter so its freezing cold here in Toronto and you can’t even walk outside because the sidewalks are covered in ice. I just bought a PS4 and Call of Duty and Killzone. I put the bike in front of my 65 inch TV and have biked while gaming for at least 40 mins every day this week. I bike late at night after my wife and daughter have gone to sleep. Time flies by while you are biking. One night I did 120 mins of continuous biking. It runs quietly and the seating position with the arm pads is perfect for gaming. The combination of doing something that requires a lot of focus while exercising is awesome. Time just flies by and you find you have been working out for hours. The seat is comfortable and the build quality is very good for something this cost and weight.This is great product and a great idea that really does work to get you exercising instead of sitting on the couch while doing normally guilt laden things like watching sports or playing video games.

I bought this product a year ago hoping it would encourage me to get more exercise. Over the last 12 months, I’ve cycled 686 miles, the distance between John O’Groats and London, and have definitely seen an increase in personal fitness. I cycle while working from home, while watching Netflix, and while listening to podcasts. In the past, I used to get discouraged from exercising by the bad weather outside, but this bike has meant that I’ve been able to continue to exercise even when it’s pouring outside. I find the seat really comfortable (unlike the pointy and hard seats of some other exercise bikes) and the desk portion allows me to use a laptop at the same time, which reduces the tedium of cycling. Despite a year’s heavy use, it’s still going strong. If you’re looking for a reasonably priced but reliable exercise bike, look no further.

Impossible to assemble and doesn’t have enough resistance. I get 100bpm max heart rate on this. Can’t even hit zone 2. Buy a normal excercise bike.
