Asked mid-workout

It depends on the frame. Our Magnetic Exercise Bike 002C and the L-002C Pro carry 300 lb, the PRO L-010C carries 350 lb, and the light commercial L-007C carries 400 lb. Recumbent bikes are rated for 350 lb, and the EM5 elliptical for 500 lb.

Turn the resistance knob or dial clockwise. On magnetic bikes this moves the magnets closer to the flywheel without touching it; the PRO and L-007C split that travel into 100 micro-levels, while folding and recumbent bikes use 16 steps.

Yes. Our bikes connect over Bluetooth to our exclusive app for trainer-led courses and tracking, and many models also work with Kinomap, Zwift or FED Fitness. The bike's own LCD still shows time, speed, distance and calories without a phone.

Our magnetic systems are designed to run around 20dB, which is why so many owners ride before work or late at night. Air bikes and air rowers are the exception: fan resistance always makes wind noise.

Our upright seats use high-density memory foam, and the L-002C Pro adds a wider, thicker saddle on dual springs. For the most back support, choose a recumbent bike or the 5-in-1 folding bike with its back cushion.

We would say so, and so do the reviews: our Magnetic Exercise Bike 002C holds a 4.4 out of 5 average across more than 25,000 ratings. We have built home fitness machines for over 20 years and stand behind every frame.

Most uprights arrive about 80% pre-assembled and are ready in under 30 minutes. Our wooden water rowers come 98% pre-assembled and take about ten minutes; the under-desk ellipticals arrive fully assembled.

For most people, a steady half hour of low-impact cardio is a realistic daily habit and easy on the joints. Pick a resistance level you can hold while still talking, and build from there; your doctor is the right person to set targets around any health condition.

All of our magnetic uprights are designed to run around 20dB; the friction brake-pad build and the air bike are louder by nature.

The PRO L-010C fits riders from 4'8" to 6'4", and the air bike seat covers 4'7" to 6'7".

Magnetic resistance never touches the flywheel, so it is quieter and wears less. Our friction brake-pad build is the budget choice and still uses the same 300 lb frame.

The 5-in-1, thanks to its back cushion, semi-recumbent and recumbent modes and 16 gentle-to-firm magnetic levels.

The X-Bike measures 27.9 by 15.3 inches before folding; both models fold flat and roll on wheels.

Yes, the 5-in-1 takes resistance bands for rowing-style pulls.

Recumbent riding keeps the back supported and lowers stress on joints; our recumbents were designed with rehab professionals. Ask your physical therapist about the right resistance for your recovery.

All three YOSUDA recumbent bikes are rated for riders up to 350 lb.

Yes, on the full-body recumbent: flick the handle at your side.

The R2 fits rowers from 3'11" to 6'10", the RM11 up to 6'7" on its 135 cm rail, and the Classic water rower up to 6'6".

Our tanks use sealed designs; the foldable beech rower can stand upright without draining.

The PRO H-187, the beech water rowers, the RM11 and the RW-207 fold or stand upright; the R2 splits in two.

The foldable compact elliptical, which folds to about 2 sq ft.

The EM5, rated for 500 lb.

Yes, the foldable elliptical supports forward and reverse motion.

Ours use friction-free magnetic resistance, so they run quietly early or late.

Both machines are rated for 300 lb.

No. Our under desk ellipticals are designed for seated use only.

Yes; the under desk bike runs under 20dB and the ellipticals use a quiet motor.

The electric ellipticals arrive fully assembled; the pedal exerciser sets up in four steps.
