Lifespan Fitness SP 310 Spin Bike

Bike is super sturdy. Great size and easy to move around. Good seat height I'm 175. Seat was a little uncomfortable at the beginning but you get used to it.Handle bars are good. Comes with a phone holder which is handy. Really great bike.

Easy enough to put together but I am having two issues with my purchase. The first being the levels on the bike, when I spin the knob to make it higher or lower, it doesn't feel like much impact until it reaches the 7th spin where it suddenly stops. This isn't a big issue though.The one I am not so pleased with is the seat. The seat doesn't tighten properly. I have tightened it several times, but every time I ride, it seems to loosen and move side to side. It is also very uncomfortable.Besides these two issues, the bike is fine! It moves well, its got a good weight to it so doesn't lift off the ground. The handle bars positions are a little uncomfortable but mostly likely because I am not used to it. I like the look of it, and it doesn't take up much space in my ... MoreEasy enough to put together but I am having two issues with my purchase.

Good quality for a very reasonable price

After having bought cheaper exercise bikes before, I wanted something better quality that wouldn't be outrageously expensive. This fit the bill perfectly. For the price, it's very sturdy and rides extremely smoothly. Putting it together was nice and simple and I've loved using it every day since it arrived. It never wobbles and the construction feels good and solid. It's a vast improvement over my old bike (which quite literally fell apart from me using it daily!) and I would gladly recommend it to anyone wanting something they can get a lot of wear out of. Good quality for a very reasonable price!

Good quality for price

Having been used to a very high quality gym quality bike (prob worth about $1200) for the past couple of years, I was very skeptical of finding one in my budget ($300 max) that met my needs. I definitely did a lot of hunting around and reading reviews and found this one had the most reviews (and mostly all positive) and haven't been disappointed yet (3 sessions so far). Easy to put together. My only suggestion would be maybe put a drink holder on the body of the bike? Also, a bit of noise whilst pedalling but only minor things. Overall I am pleased.

High quality , great workout , excellent price

Pros: - Great quality for the price - Wheels on the front make it easy to move around - Straightforward assembly process -Stable frame keeps bike on the floor and does not wobble when in use -The control unit is nice and simple and tells speed, distance, time and calories -Resistance adjustment using adjustment knob which adds friction of brake pads to the flywheel. -Keeps you pedalling due to the flywheel , and feels more like a real bicycle. Cons: - Seat does not have enough adjustment points , hard to reach handle bars if you are not tall.Is also uncomfortable even though it is padded. - No phone holder or water bottle holder - Foot adjustment straps are difficult to adjust , increasing the likelihood of slipping while pedals are spinning. Possible improvements: ... MorePros: - Great quality for the price - Wheels on the front make it easy to move around - Straightforward assembly process -Stable frame keeps bike on the floor and does not wobble when in use -The control unit is nice and simple and tells speed, distance, time and calories -Resistance adjustment using adjustment knob which adds friction of brake pads to the flywheel. -Keeps you pedalling due to the flywheel , and feels more like a real bicycle.

Possible improvements: -Perhaps a water bottle /phone holder to be fitted -more seat padding so that a gel cover doesn't have to be used -make the handlebars adjustable , so that they are easier to reach.' Overall , this is an excellent product available for a great price , about 66% cheaper then similar spin bikes available in stores , while offering similar features. The cons are very minor and are easily rectified with cheap accessories , but would be nice if they were included. However , being a weight bearing product , sturdiness is a key requirement which this bike has well and truly outperformed. Another perfect example of a product that you do not need to spend $1000s on to get good performance.

Lifespan Exercise Bike

Firstly I was very impressed by how easy it was to assemble, straight-forward instructions with very few bolts that needed to be tightened. The tools were provided. The bike is incredibly sturdy, you are NOT going to break this bike. I was also impresses by the "pull to adjust" knobs. You see them on gym equipment and wish you had them at home, you do with this exercise bike. Then it was time to try it out. It works beautifully, great quality, smooth action, absolutely perfect. You DO need to wear shoes with the pedals provided for the bike, not comfortable without them. If I ever want to change the pedals for ones I can use without shoes it's very simple, you even have the tool to do it. I was also impressed by the chain not being exposed at all, I've seen a few ... MoreFirstly I was very impressed by how easy it was to assemble, straight-forward instructions with very few bolts that needed to be tightened.

Nice exercise bike, with good sturdy feel and motion.

This exercise bike is easy to assemble, sturdy and has a solid frame. The wheel and peddle motion are good. The height of the bike is also good - not too small for a tall person (which I am); but also has adjustable seat and height for shorter people. Feedback regarding heart rate, distance, and calories burned is basic and clear, which is all one needs. Can adjust the tension to make it harder to peddle to have a more intense workout. I am very happy with this purchase.

Really good exercise bike, good quality and value

The exercise bike is smooth and seems to be good quality. Welds and design are good - making it easy to put together. Definitely a goo bike to get your fitness levels up easily at home. There are two things that could be improved: 1. The resistance mechanism is friction based by turn dial. Hard to get a setting that is consistent/repeatable. A numbered magnetic resistance would be ideal. 2. The LCD screen could be better - but this isnt a dealbreaker, it does its function. These are pretty minor and me nitpicking. Very happy with the bike, would recommend.

Vibrating and not quiet

Terrible bike, unwrapped the bike and assembled it. When the peddles turn the wheel vibrates loudly and the motion of pedalling is coarse and vibrates under the handle bars as you increase the speed.

Well designed and very good quality!

I needed something to help me train indoors when the weather is too wet & windy to cycle outside and this spin bike meets my requirements perfectly! It is built like a tank and has a great range of resistance with a turn of a dial (which doubles and an emergency stopper). The spin bike comes with a phone/tablet stand which allows me to watch Netflix AND burn off that pizza I had last night! The multi-function gives a ball-park figure for your training session stats and the seat is pretty comfy even after 1+ hours of use. Sometimes the contact between the resistance pad and the flywheel can make a squeaky sound but a spray of silicon or PTFE lube on the pad should quieten the beast. Overall the spin bike is fantastic value for money and I'm really happy with the ... MoreI needed something to help me train indoors when the weather is too wet & windy to cycle outside and this spin bike meets my requirements perfectly!
