A Commercial Exercise Bike For Home Use

A commercial exercise bike is designed for public institutions, such as public gyms, or workplace or student fitness centers. Upright or recumbent bikes found in fitness centers are designed with heavy usage in mind, and are generally more durable than models intended for the perhaps once a day, or more sporadic use, of a home exercise bike user. Though they are invariably more expensive than the models marketed for home use, commercial bikes can prove to be good value for the professional cyclist or other serious exerciser.

Whether exercising at home or in a commercial gym, many prefer the sitting position offered by recumbent exercise bikes, as their subtly more horizontal seat positioning is generally considered more comfortable than an upright bicycle. The recumbent bike is also easier to mount, and more gentle on the back. The upright exercise bicycle, however, offers the option of a more intense workout, and is easier to gain a good speed and momentum with; the positioning of recumbent bikes makes it more difficult to build up speed.

There are some great recumbent bicycles available that supply commercial quality for your own home use. The Kettler brand is extremely well made and reliable, providing the durability and other advanced features that you would expect from a commercial quality exercise bike in the form of a biking machine you can afford to buy for your home. The Tunturi E6R is also recommended as a commercial model, suggested for use by a more demanding home user, offering sturdiness and hi-tech features, such as a memory facility that you can use to tailor workouts specifically for you, all in one machine. Though at the more expensive end of the price range for exercise bikes, at about $2000 the Kettler Ergometer SX1, one of Kettler’s recumbent bikes, is available for several hundred dollars less. A commercial standard exercise bike will be more expensive that a lower spec model, but considering the durability and other features you will get for the price, they are a good investment.
