The NordicTrack bike provides lots of easy-to-view tracking metrics, including heart rate, elevation, intensity, and more. The iFit dashboard does well to present your weekly stats, too, so you can see that progress in action.
NORDICTRACK SPINNING BIKE SERIES
Along the way, however, the series challenges the rider to progress every aspect of their riding ability. The first, of course, is to make it through the series. Most classes are set up in a series of workouts that hope to accomplish a few different things. Fuji or doing one of its in-studio classes, is to push you to hit certain goals. The overall goal of iFit, whether you're biking up Mt. The 22-inch screen swivels 360 degrees, allowing you to still see the trainer from your mat. Some classes even take you on and off the bike for a HIIT-style workout. While you'll get plenty of cardio on the bike, iFit also makes it easy to achieve a full-body workout with cross-training sessions such as yoga classes and total-body strength training. Of course, if you don't want to go as hard as they suggest (or want to go harder) you can make adjustments yourself by overriding the trainer's instructions. Your bike even automatically adjusts the resistance according to the trainer's cues and the actual terrain, so there's no need to mess with the knob yourself. I also appreciated that they tell you exactly where your cadence should be, so there's no guesswork as to whether you're pacing properly.

On one ride I did, the trainer shared sage advice about the importance of rest in between workouts, explaining that stress plus rest equals growth. The trainers are also friendly and motivating, offering technical tips, encouraging words, and even snippets about their personal lives as you ride.

Plus, iFit regularly adds new videos to their library, so there's always something new. The levels vary from beginner rides to more intense trails for experienced cyclists. They also go international, with rides in the Swiss Alps, along the beaches in Thailand, and through the streets of Rome. What this means is that iFit lets you trail world-class athletes as they ride on the famous Slick Rock trails of Moab, Utah, or through the winding streets of San Francisco.

The global workouts are incredibly high-quality, filmed by iFit staffers whose sole job is to travel the world following both professional athletes and certified trainers with a camera - talk about a dream job. There's an extensive library of workouts filmed all around the world, from Austria to Australia.ĭon't worry about them looking like Google Maps-style workouts, either (although iFit does have those). First, if you find the thought of cycling to nowhere in a small room with a bunch of sweaty people torturous, iFit's global workouts will be a breath of fresh air - literally. The iFit streaming service is impressive for several reasons. If you find yourself using it often, it's well worth the investment. After the first year, there's a $15-per-month subscription fee. What truly sets this NordicTrack bike apart is that it comes with a complimentary one-year subscription to iFit, a fitness streaming service that offers more than 1,500 on-demand workouts to choose from. It's doable with one person, although two does make it easier - especially since the bike itself weighs around 200 pounds. The instructions were fairly easy to understand, and the assembly only takes roughly an hour or two.

The bike arrives at your door ready to be assembled and you can either put it together yourself or have an expert do the work for you for an extra $89. And though it's a steep initial investment at $1,999, I think it's well worth the price. Though this sounds like some cheesy, too-good-to-be-true infomercial, it's exactly the experience the NordicTrack S22i delivered. Because, who wouldn't want to instantly transport to a sunny, tropical setting, right in the comfort of their own home? Not only did I enjoy the high-quality ride it delivered but I was constantly drawn back to the digital rides it offers in locales around the globe. To get a true sense of how it's attempting to distance itself from the pack, I took the Studio Cycle for an at-home spin. There are still plenty of coaches powering you through on-demand workouts, but there's also a more at-your-own-pace selection of rides, as well. A modern at-home bike offering a suite of streaming workouts and a high-quality ride, the S22i imagines the at-home spin class differently than industry competitors like Peloton. Its latest, the NordicTrack Commercial S22i Studio Cycle, is the company's flagship.
