Five Star Reviews: | 66% easy to get it in and out and move it March 22, 2017 It's been one year since I purchased this. I purposefully postponed writing this review to see how long it will last me. It is EXTREMELY quiet, easy to get it in and out and move it. It does seem heavy if you were to move it around across from your house but the distance I have to deal with is satisfying. Money well spent. Only complaint is that I wish it could go lower but I should be blaming my short legs first so not a big deal. Highly recommend for those who don't have much time to go hit the gym. I work out in my living room in the morning/night and keeps my heart pumping. I love that this bike fits snugly against the wall when ... June 20, 2016 I really wanted an exercise machine I could use at home for the days I don't make it to the gym (which, I'll admit, is most days). However, I also have a small apartment with limited floor and storage space. I love that this bike fits snugly against the wall when not in use without sacrificing comfort or sturdiness (even with my big booty) in order to be compact. Bikes are not usually my go-to exercise equipment because they give me a sore butt and crotch when I push myself, and, sometimes, even when I don't. However, this bike doesn't feel the same to use as a regular bike or the standard exercise bike you would find at the gym. The pedals are further forward and the seat is wider, and I actually find it to be more comfortable. I am still able to get my heart rate up and work my legs just as well as other bikes while sitting fully back on the seat. I have not noticed any aches or pains indicating the positioning is problematic, but I have noticed considerably less pain caused by the seat than I usually experience using exercise bikes. It is quiet, smooth, tracks everything I want to track, has appropriate resistance, and still works great six months later. I am very happy with my purchase! Comfort at Last!! January 10, 2015 In the hopes of helping someone, I am going to be painfully personally honest.... I am over 250lbs and have been searching for a bike that does not send searing pain up my tail bone in five minutes. Well, I found it! I love this bike and for the price I feel it has to be one of the most comfortable seats out there for bigger sized people, the seat is not like the little seats on most exercise bikes, it is 15" at the widest and almost 11" to the front. Recumbent bikes of course have nice seats but due to a lot of metal in my rebuilt ankle I am unable to perform the dorsiflexion and plantar flexion that a recumbent requires. So, back to the bike at hand, it was super easy to put together ( I have included pictures) of parts, accessories and finished product. It is also pretty easy to move (which I had to do a lot for all my holiday parties). I can see where someone with shorter legs might have a little stretch, I am 5'8" with an inseam of 34" I have the seat on the second to the lowest level but of my course my knees do not fully extend and also, some may be able to just sit near the front edge of the seat whereas I am fully on it. The seat as I have it is, approx. 31" high from the floor and some people with mobility issues might find it difficult to mount/dismount. It is just like getting on to a mans bike (swinging your leg over) because especially for people of size, there is not a great deal of room between the seat and the frame. Don't get me wrong, it is a comfortable enough space to ride but not step through (in my opinion) . As for the stability and durability, seems great to me, very sturdy and does not make me nervous in the least and I am looking forward to a much healthier future with a machine I can actually use. I truly hope this helps someone. ; ) High Quality Product at a Decent Price July 16, 2013 Let's break down the grading here by sections. FYI, I have had the bike for about 3 months and have logged 850 miles. I am roughly 5' 11" and have weighed between 250lbs and 228lbs in those three months. 1.) Assembly - 4.5/5 It took me (a non-handy desk worker with very little craftsman experience) roughly 25 minutes to put the bike together. A great deal of the assembly is done before you take it out of the box (the frame and handlebars are individually assembled). The one knock here is that the instructions could definitely be easier to follow, but it was still easier than following the instructions that come with a typical DIY desk or bookcase. 2.) Operation - 4.75/5 For the price, of course. I have had the bike for roughly 3 months and have logged roughly 850 miles. I can't speak on it's longevity past 850, but it is still running like it was the day I put it together. Very little noise, smooth pedaling, stationary (doesn't wobble), and easy to bring out/put away. The only thing holding it back from a "5/5" is the seat. It isn't exactly "comfortable," but it isn't awful either. 3.) Electronics - 3/5 It is pretty clear that the electronics were an afterthought for this product. This doesn't bother me, and it shouldn't bother you. You should *not* be using the HRM/Calorie counter on this bike. In fact, you probably shouldn't use a HRM/Calorie Counter on any exercise equipment that didn't cost you an arm and a leg. I generally use my own HRM (Polar), which often puts my actual calories at about 65-70% of what is listed. The mileage and speed seem to be fairly accurate. Overall, it's what you would (or should) expect from a relatively inexpensive piece of exercise equipment. 4.) Price - 5/5 When I purchased this product, the price was actually around 120.00$. I think it costs a bit more now, but it is (probably) still a tremendous price for a reliable and consistent machine. I have yet to see any give in the machine, and I do not think it is unreasonable to expect that it might give me 2+ years of service. For a bike with easy assembly, good operation, and this price, it's easily worth a purchase. Edit - (August 1st, 2013) - It has been around 2 weeks (and an additional 200 miles) since I posted this review, and I just want to re-affirm how great this bike is. I've seen some recent reviews that say it has problems when you crank up the intensity, but I have not experienced this. On the two highest settings (both of which I have used extensively the last month or so), I have yet to experience any "clicking" or "belt fraying." It does go from whisper-quiet to mouse-in-church quiet, but, honestly, you would have to be searching for a problem to even notice. This bike has played a large role in my (still ongoing) weight loss. I have recommended it to 4 people, and the 3 that ended up purchasing it are even happier than I am. Edit - (October 21st, 2013) - Well, it has been about 2 and 1/2 months since my last edit, and I'm still thrilled with this bike. I have now put around 2400 miles on it, and it is still running as well as it did on day 1. It is worth noting that the bike does become a little bit noisier as you up the resistance and speed. At full resistance and high speeds, you get the occasional creak and groan, but nothing that bothers me, personally. As an aside, this bike has become my primary form of exercise after a leg injury has limited my ability to run consistently, and I give this bike non-marginal credit for my extensive weight loss (250 to 200lbs). It is, unequivocally, the best purchase I have ever made on amazon and one of the best purchases I have ever made. Was skeptical.... May 5, 2012 I rarely write a product review + or -, unless the product is REALLY good or REALLY poor--I'm also not the easiest consumer to impress. I am happy to write a REALLY good review for the Exerpeutic folding exercise bike. I am 6'2'' @ 215 lbs with long legs and cycled quite a bit before injuries and schedules became a bit too busy, so I do know a fair amount about bikes. I thought this might be more of a disposable bike, last a couple of years at best, be too wiggly, weak mechanics..that kind of thing, but quite the contrary, I am happily surprised by the quality of the entire product. The craftsmanship of the Exerpeutic folding exercise bike is very good, the frame tubes are heavy steel with good welds, the seat is large enough to have an extended ride comfortably (probably the most comfortable stationary bike seat I've used including expensive gym bikes), the bike has a wide stable "footprint" when opened but is also light enough to move from room to room if needed (has wheels on the base also),the internal mechanics are very good, the bike is very quiet and comfotable with plenty of leg room for proper body mechanics as well, the computer screen readout is practical and easy to see and use. This is in not a "yeah right, what a joke" bike, it is well constructed and was well thought out! I am in no way shape or form associated with the bike company, the seller, Amazon, or any party related in any way to this product, but I am please to review that I am impressed and very pleased with this bike! Hope this revew helps anyone in the market looking for a great product at a great price! | 0% There are no reviews yet | 71% Fold-to-Fit Mat August 11, 2017 This mat was ordered when I purchased a ProGear exercise bike. I love the folds in the mat as it was way too long for the bike. The folds also make the mat easy to place in another location. I would recommend this mat for use under any exercise equipment, or for exercising on any floor. This purchase was well worth the cost. Very Good purchase! June 21, 2017 The mat ended up being the perfect length for what I needed so I didn't have to fold it over but as long as you need to fold it where marked it is easy to do. Will fold up nicely for moving or storage. A little thicker than a yoga mat. My cat enjoys laying on it, lol. Glad I purchased.**UPDATE**I still love this mat, so much that I ordered a second one for another piece of equipment I bought.I had a friend come over and saw the mat and liked it so much he is ordering a couple too. For the price these are really great! Folding is a great feature May 7, 2017 I paired this with my ProForm Elliptical. That model of elliptical folds up, so it's great that the mat is perforated a bit, allowing it to neatly fold, too. It is also thick enough, on my wood floor, to provide the support/anti rocking movement that my elliptical needs. I'd say if you wanted a mat to stretch out on on a hard floor (wood/tile) this is not going to be very comfortable. I'd get a yoga mat for that. If you sweat when you work out, like when lifting, this would be good for catching sweat... but not for catching weights (too thin). Perfect for protecting carpet underneath exercise equipment January 8, 2017 Bought this to go with Sunny Air Magnetic Rower, SF-RW5623. It fits perfectly underneath the rowing machine with plenty of overlap on the sides and ends to protect the carpeting. Does the job. Maybe needs a few more fold marks. June 23, 2016 This has an odd number of fold marks. I couldn't quite get it short enough under my new recumbent bike. It's also rather wider than needed. I didn't want to cut it at first, but I may do that, now that I know it works for me.It's well made, and very convenient. It's protecting my carpet (I looked). And it was a good price. handy product January 26, 2016 I use this mat to protect out hardwood floors when I'm working on projects around the house. It is effective, lightweight, and easy to store.UPDATE: We are very pleased with this product. After more than a year we now use it for an elliptical, so I'm buying another for general use (under work areas or ladders in situations where the floor requires protection). This is still a great mat, with no visible wear. It cleans easily, protects the floor well, and offers a firm and textured surface that is comfortable to the touch. And even better, you can easily fold it away when not in use. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 77% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 20% An excellent choice June 2, 2017 Love the bike! I took one star off the rating bc it, in fact, was NOT super easy to assemble. Took quite a while and instructions weren't as clear as they could have been. And also... It says NEVER PEDDLE BACKWARDS... which, to me, sounds weird. The bike itself though is veerrrrrrrrrry good. Pretty light, only slightly bulky/difficult to move around (I probably only have difficulty moving it around bc my right wrist is broken but even I can manage it). It rides silently and smoothly, the resistance settings are fun, the levels 1&2 are easy, bump it up to 3 for any length and really feel the burn and then the hardest setting feels like you're peddling uphill through the snow pulling a wagon filled with bricks haha. Good times. I am VERY happy with this purchase and recommend it to anyone. I feel like it's an excellent choice and a great price! Solid bike for the price. March 19, 2017 Nice exercise bike; simple assembly took maybe 1/2 hour, solid construction, you sit forward on the seat anyway so no worries about the size of it, silent, resistance works smoothly just click it forward on the dial, burns more calories in 15 minutes than on the treadmill-probably double the calories, very low impact especially if you don't add resistance. Does not calculate in the resistance when it totals your calories, so you'll just have to guess what you're really burning. My 80 year old dad loves it, says it helps with his hip problems, does it 3 times a week! If it wears out in a year buy another, so what. I am 61 and not in the best of shape 5ft 8 inch 197 lbs January 8, 2017 bought this bike have worked with it for a week now , I am 61 and not in the best of shape 5ft 8 inch 197 lbs. I am a truck driver , working 14 hr days with no exercise it was time to do at least something. If you are in decent shape I would go to a better product, but for those of all that has let yourself go, this is a very good starting spot. As I was trying to get a decent bike for me all the complaints seems to come from the seat,this bike has a bigger seat. My only problem is the tingling of the family jewels it last about 5 mins after I am through [I had the same thing when I rode a road bike]must be me. Easy to put together and everything works and is very quite but its all new. I think for a beginner this bike works fine 4 stars never give 5 with such little time on new product after 3 weeks I am still thinking it is going to fit my needs, the clicking did start ,but in my bike its NOT FROM THE FAN it comes from the main bolt where the handle bars and the seat come together. If I pull back on the handle bars while riding it goes away, so I simply tighten all the bolts, it something you should do on everything you buy new retighten all bolts. don't forget to retighten the seat. I bike 5 miles a day, to start after 17 years of doing nothing , that's my starting point until it comes easy for me ,I try to start at 10 mph and increase it through out until the last mile and a half at 15 mph {per read out} @ a setting of 3 1/2as this comes easy I will step it up. As for a star rating I will leave it 4 for now,still to early judging by others reviews to go higher. Great bike for the price! August 27, 2015 This bike is a great buy for the price. It was easy to set up and easy to fold away. I've read others say that you shouldn't trust the calorie counter and I would agree, but if you are looking for a simple bike than this it perfect. It is quiet and the seat is comfortable, which are big pluses in my book. Good Workout, Good Price August 23, 2015 I bought this to keep myself in shape when I'm not able to go out riding on local MTB trails. It has replaced a very old fan wheel / chain driven exercise bike that was starting to fall apart. So far I've put around 150 miles on it and it's held up well. Putting the bike together took about 20 minutes, and all necessary tools have been included. If you've got an impact driver with a few different sized nut drivers and sockets I'd imagine you could do it in 10 minutes. The bike performs well enough, but the ergonomics are a bit wacky as another reviewer points out. The pedals aren't situated like they would be on a regular bike, instead they are closer to being underneath the handlebars of the unit. This doesn't matter much to me, but could for you so keep it in mind. I store this in the corner of a home gym and move it out in front of a television when I use it, due to it's light weight this is not difficult. The cyclocomputer attached to the unit isn't anything to write home about. It does keep track of distance per ride, overall distance (up to 999 miles I believe), current speed, and calories burned (probably not too accurate - same goes for the pulse reading feature). I enjoy being able to quickly switch resistance, however anything above a 5 on the scale of 1-8 isn't a smooth or enjoyable ride. Overall I'd recommend this to others. It does have small quirks and isn't on par with a higher quality $500 + stationary bike, but that wasn't what I was willing to shell out. I'm glad I bought it as it's done exactly what I needed it to do. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 19% great product with wired registration requirements September 12, 2017 the mat itself is great and we put our elliptical machine on it which fits very well. my only complaint was the product/warranty registration website that asks for product number and serial number. I looked through everywhere on the mat but could not find it. Perfect for Bowflex M5. Folds are a great feature! June 9, 2017 Perfect as a base for our BowFlex M5 trainer. The folds are definitely a nice bonus feature. I am able to fold the ends up in order to shorten the mat to match the footprint of the machine. No tail ends sticking out. Conforms very nicely. I would definitely recommend this over other mats that can't fold to match the footprint of the machine you put it under. Does its job. March 2, 2017 This rubber mat arrived when expected, as expected. I bought it to put underneath my small portable elliptical machine, to provide some cushion and traction against the basement floor. It is light and easy to maneuver. I like the guide-lines that it has, so that you can fold it to whatever size you need by even sections. However, I'm annoyed that I can't fold it directly in half. There are an odd number of "sections" so there isn't a guide-line to be folded down the middle. Minor inconvenience. It seems to be working out fine. We use it under our treadmill and over ... December 27, 2016 It seems to be working out fine. We use it under our treadmill and over our hardwood floor. Works well for that purpose. Good workout mat for hardwood floors, but slick when wet! August 18, 2014 Having hardwood floors can hurt while doing a workout. They also don't provide much grip. I thought of getting the puzzle-piece mats but after reading that they tend to move everywhere and separate during plyometric (jumping) moves, I decided to get the biggest one-piece mat at a decent price. I don't care that it folds, but it does grip well. Small amount of cushioning, so you won't roll your ankle or anything.Only 2 problems:1. it slips out of place a little when on the hardwood floor. 2. It gets VERY slick when wet. The only way to prevent this is to towel up your sweat right when it hits the mat, or to just towel yourself off before the sweat starts getting really bad. The good part is that it dries fairly quickly, especially if you have a fan over it.Overall, I think I'd buy another one just so that I could use it while the other is drying, and switch off between exercises. Its a good product. It's a good product May 7, 2013 I was looking for a mat to use when I do exercise videos in my living room. The movement of my feet during exercise was causing my carpet to shed, so I wanted to keep my carpet in good shape. This mat is pretty good for that purpose, it is long enough and wide enough to cover a good area of my carpet. However, because of how it folds in those 5 sections, the creases stay creased and it trips me up while I'm exercising. I'm hoping they eventually lessen, but considering it's so big that I have to keep it folded when I'm storing it, I doubt those creases will go away. Also, the mat does not stay in one place. so i constantly have to move it back in place. I realize this mat I guess was designed for equipment to sit on instead of as an exercise mat but I thought that maybe it would be multi-functional. It's ok, I'm still using it and making it work for me. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 16% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 6% Easy to put together August 17, 2016 Easy to put together, only complaint I have is that it's not really suited for short people. I'm 5'0", so I expected to have to lower the seat, but even at the lowest setting possible, my feet still barely reach the pedals. I can still use it, but it's super uncomfortable. easy if you follow instructions with details December 14, 2015 Received today and already assembled, easy if you follow instructions with details. I like the bike, try it and is easy to use, seat is not the best, but no surprise if you read the feedback. But it came with the plastic top shroud broken (Part No. 020). The plastic part was broken before the bike was pack since all the pieces are not inside the box. I checked inside the mechanism and recovered one piece, but still missing one part. (See photos) Would be nice if it is possible to get the replacement. Will see. Mostly Solid, but You Get What You Pay For August 19, 2015 I’ll start off by saying that I’ve geared this review toward customers who anticipate using this bike seriously, frequently, and at moderate to high intensity.I began riding this bike in January, and through semi-regular use, I put 315 miles on it by mid-March. Life got in the way, and I didn't ride again until June 2nd. From that date through early-August, I put an additional 770 miles on. To work toward my fitness and weight loss goals, I adhered to the following 35 minute regimen, six days per week:I would warm up for five minutes at the easiest resistance on the dial (1 out of 8), followed by medium to high intensity intervals of Resistance 3, 5, 3, 5, 3, 5 for five minutes each. I went hard, got a GREAT workout, and lost 30 pounds in the process. So why am giving a 3 Star Review for such outstanding results? Here's what went wrong:At 625 miles, the rubber pedal strap (the piece that holds your foot in place) snapped. It's a cheap part, and though I was out of the manufacturer's warranty, I called Exerpeutic [at (844) 641-7921], and their rep was kind enough to send me a new pair of straps free of charge. Shipping took less than a week and the straps arrived in perfect condition.Around 1,050 miles, the flywheel began to make kind of a whirring and clicking noise at any resistance at or above 5. The flywheel is visible through the top of the compartment it's housed in, and I could see that it began to wobble in there. Previously, I loved that the ride was smooth and whisper quiet.At 1,075 miles, the pedal strap mount (the piece that holds the strap to the pedal) broke off, and took a chunk of the cheap plastic pedal with it (pictured in my attached image). After that, I used an elaborate contraption made of multiple strips of duct tape to hold my foot on the pedal.When I bought this bike, I also purchased an exended warranty from SquareTrade, and I'm glad I did! I called them to see what could be done about the flywheel and broken pedal, and the rep that I worked with deemed that the cost of shipping the bike and its repair was prohibitive... and he agreed to refund me the entire value of the product! (You can read my 5 Star review “A+ Customer Service, Very Good Experience, with a Little Bit of a Wait” of that experience here). I asked him what I needed to do with the bike, and he quipped "What everyone else does... use it to hang your laundry!"To sum up, here are my Pros and Cons of this Exerpeutic Upright Bike:***Pros***• Basic console, the original AAA batteries still haven’t worn out• Sturdy, shake-free ride, even at high speeds/intensity• Ergonomically sound and comfortable• Folds-up to save space• Smooth and quiet• Simple assembly***Cons***• Mileage on the console resets to 0.0 after 999.9 miles, I would have liked five digits• HUGE proprietary seat, which can’t be swapped out for a standard seat or saddle• Not durable for more than light to medium intensity rides, a few times per week• The 9/16ths pedals are cheap pre-molded plastic• Cheap rubber pedal strapsThis is a great bike for those who are just looking to get into stationary cycling, or maintain their current weight. If you’re looking for a piece of equipment that’ll take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’, I’d say you’re better off looking at higher quality (and yes, higher priced) options.Feel free to leave me a comment or question, I’m happy to add anything else you’d like to know about the product. Thanks for taking the time to read my review, hopefully this information was useful! Well Constructed But Difficult Assembly April 7, 2015 I just got this device yesterday, so I'm shooting off the cuff here based of first impressions. Actually, it is made pretty well it seems for a "Made in China" item. The build quality seems solid, the way-oversized seat ( I'm sure they took into account some HUGE cheeks being draped across it) could have been made a little more durable. It would have been nice they used a standard round seat post so it could be retro-fitted with a quality, actual bicycle seat that would give a much better workout. As it is, it's sort of like sitting on a sofa and pedaling a recumbent bike. The "crank" should be more directly underneath the seat. The bike operates very silently by using the magnetic resistance. I just wonder if this system will hold up in the long run. One major gripe I had, was the assembly. Screwing the pedal shafts into the crank arms took a herculean effort! The wimpy little stamped-metal wrench supplied was a joke here. I had to find a huge, heavy adjustable wrench, lubricate both the male and female threads, and then have someone hold the opposite crank arm with all their might in order to get the shafts threaded in completely. It's as if the threaded surfaces had been painted AFTER the threads were cut which made threading them together almost impossible. I'll update this review after some usage to see how it holds up to the wear and tear of actual use. Well-built bike........not the best bio-mechanics July 5, 2013 I am a former personal trainer so I hope my comments are useful to interested buyers. The build quality of the bike is excellent; however the main drawback of the bike is its bio-mechanics, or the way it interacts with your body when you are cycling. Regarding build quality---the bike is made of excellent materials for the most part, and is a solid piece of machinery. The bike is very sturdy and stable when you're cycling. I had never owned a magnetic resistance bike before, so I was a little nervous about the concept. But I am very impressed with the quiet, smooth pedaling action of the bike at all levels of resistance. I am in average physical condition, and the bike provides more than enough resistance at level 4 to 6 (out of 8) to give me a good workout. The main problem with the bike is the bio-mechanics, i.e. the way your body interacts with the bike. Here are some of the reasons: 1) It is not truly an upright bike (such as a regular road bike). The pedals are too far forward. The bike is a cross between an upright and recumbent bike, however there is no seatback to lean back against. The pedals are so far forward, you are pushing them away from your body to some extent. This may put more stress on your unsupported back. Also, because of the forward pedal position, it is very difficult to get full range of motion (ROM) without being uncomfortable, especially with the extra wide seat. Full ROM is when your legs are almost straight at the bottom of the pedal stroke, but not locked. Full ROM makes any exercise more effective. However people with injuries or joint problems should generally limit their ROM--so this may not be an issue for those people. 2) The seat may be too wide for some individuals, since your legs may not entirely clear the seat on the down stroke and your thighs may rub against the seat. That's one of the main reasons road bikes have narrow seats. I have to sit forward on the seat to be comfortable. 3) The seat gets hard for me after riding for about 30 minutes. The design of this seat is very different than that of a typical road bike seat. The seat is pretty low tech. It's made of a triangular plywood base covered with foam. The foam feels like upholstery grade foam. The plywood base is bolted directly to the seat post, with no shock absorption system. Also the seat is perfectly flat and not contoured to fit your bottom. When I ride the bike for more than 30 minutes (sometimes less) I can feel my "sit bones" sinking into the foam, and my center bottoming out. I'm not saying that will happen to you. It depends on your anatomy and other factors. The rub (pun intended) is that higher tech bike seats are made of firmer materials, including denser rubberized foam that supports your weight better and collapses less. A cushy seat is not necessarily better when it comes to a bike seat. The bike has some very positive features (including the low price) and seems to work well for a lot of people. I just wanted to point out that there are also some issues to consider. Whether or not these issues affect you depends a lot on your anatomy and how you use the bike. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 6% Size is fine and thickness is good October 1, 2017 Size is fine and thickness is good. But after a few months it still doesn't lay flat on the floor - the ridges you see in the product photo are still there. Not a big deal except my Roomba gets hung up on it! A little pricey March 16, 2017 I wished I knew before buying mat that is not good to use on carpet and is slippery when wet. Beware. Overall I like that it can be fold to fit to your equipment. It's too late to return, i will just use mat to do some yoga I bought this for a Total Gym. The mat ... March 5, 2017 I bought this for a Total Gym. The mat is not long enough. Also it's thin. Not as thick as I thought. They fold nicely so they are easy to tuck away when not ... February 2, 2017 I would give these a much higher rating but unfortunately these have some sort of slick coating on them, so don't sweat on them and expect to be doing any jump squats... I've cleaned them twice with soap and water which has helped, but they are still twice as slick as my old Golds Gym mat that looks identical and likely made in the same factory. Note for context - I use these as a base for a standard yoga mat, cycling rollers, rowing machine, and free weights in my garage. They fold nicely so they are easy to tuck away when not in use. it's more like a Yoga mat June 3, 2016 Honestly, it's more like a Yoga mat. It's a lot thinner than I expected. It protects hardwood floors and relieves some pressure on the carpet; but it doesn't prevent my workout equipment from "bleeding through" and leaving indents in my carpet. It does it's job but it's certainly not worth $30 Good mat for placement under treadmill May 28, 2013 I bought this mat for use under our new treadmill in the garage. The floor was concrete so I wanted a mat to reduce vibration when running. This product works well, but is fairly stiff. Despite being on the floor for a couple months now, it's still not lying flat in the folds (similar to the way it looks in the picture). I find myself trying to pull it flat every once in a while, but it seems that it will always have that recently folded look.For me this really isn't much of an issue as the treadmill only contacts the mat at four points, so as long as these areas are flat under the feet, it's serving the purpose I needed it to. If using the mat for something like yoga, or stretching, I would look for something a little thicker and pliable.Overall, for the price, I am happy with the purchase. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 3% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 3% Console problems August 14, 2017 I purchased on 3/28/17. Item arrived on time, assembly was pretty easy, adjusting the seat to my height (I'm 5'7") wasn't a problem even though some of the reviews had issues with the seat height, bike was quiet and it was an over all great bike. However, after only 5 1/2 months of use the console stopped working. Also when the console did work I'd have to completely remove the batteries to get the console to completely reset. If didn't once I stopped for the day the pulse and speed would stop. Once I resumed cycling the calorie counter and distance would resume from the last cycling session instead of starting the count from zero. However now that the console has completely gone up after less than 6 months I would recommend this bike. Initial quality seemed good. It assembled easily January 23, 2017 Initial quality seemed good. It assembled easily, and is solid. Upon initial use, it seemed very smooth and quiet. Adjustable resistance worked well. Now, after one week of use (5 times at 30 minutes each time), there is a "thumping" sound coming from the flywheel/magnet area upon every evolution of the pedal. It is getting louder, very distracting, and VERY DISAPPOINTING. I guess I will continue to use it until it breaks, and then try to find another exercise bike. Assembly problem March 6, 2015 The left threaded hole - for the pedal shaft - had an imperfect thread. This prevented the pedal shaft from being attached easily. Although the right pedal shaft went on with no problem, the left pedal shaft could only be attached by using EXTREME force and two sets of vice grip plyers. This was after I had cleaned all of the threads with a wire brush in an attempt to remove particles which may have been causing the problem. The problem with the defective thread was extreme - I'm not sure how I got it together. Now that it's finally assembled, I like the unit very much. The basic assembly is fairly easy - but the left threaded hole was/is defective on my unit. I have to wear fashion sneakers to bike January 14, 2015 Seat cushioning is not good. The overall height is NOT for user who is shorter than 5'2". I have to wear fashion sneakers (with wedge height) in order to use it. Assembly instruction is not intuitive. However, the exercise is good. Resistance adjustment is reasonable. Should help maintain overall good well being. Not for "Iron-man" or "Tour de France training. So hard to re-package and I gave up returning it. Will use it occasionally. Low confidence in product. Noisy, rattly. May 13, 2014 First off - The bike came with some cosmetic damage. The plastic 'shell' housing the main components was chipped and the two pieces were poorly seated. I needed to flex the plastic to get it to seat well and then I had to tighten the loose bolts. For the first 15 miles on the odometer or so the bike performed excellently. After about 15 miles, the bike became very noisy. Between a periodic clicking and a sound similar to baseball cards in bike spokes, the bike drowns out the TV. The coil or whatever inside the bike rattles significantly when cycling. Unfortunately between the cosmetic damage and the incipient loud noise, I've lost confidence in the long term stability of the product. My enjoyment of the bike went down significantly after the loud noise began after only about 15 miles into the odometer. But, the resistance settings are nice and the computer settings are well laid out. It assembled easily. It feels sturdy. The seat and peddles fit me well and I'm a very tall person - 6'5". It folds nicely for storage. It's lightweight - I pick it up and move it around rather than using the wheels. It's just a shame that it's so noisy. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 2% Flimsy June 24, 2017 As with the rower, I didn't get to test out the mat until the night before the return deadline. Its too thin, doesn't stay in place. After sitting for around 1. 5 years on a ... August 21, 2016 After sitting for around 1.5 years on a wood floor with my elliptical on it, it left quite a bit of sticky black residue on the wood floor where the elliptical had been on it. The residue came off, but I wish it was more durable. Definitely not for heavy ellipticals on carpet. March 15, 2016 Seems to be made decent but do not use for elliptical on carpet. It makes the machine very unsteady because the material is very flimsy. Should be fine on hard surfaces. It is a great size but I had to fold the corners in to give it a little stronger support. The machine still rocks a little, which it didn't when on carpet only. The corners folded in helps a little. Pics added to show what I mean.Only 2 stars because description said it works for carpet and ellipticals. Waste of time and money for me. The product seems sturdy, yet it has a very bad odor that ... February 15, 2016 The product seems sturdy, yet it has a very bad odor that doesn't go away for a considerable amount of time! It smell gets better, but it seems to always have that rubbery burnt tire smell! but went ahead and ordered them anyway based on good reviews. Well August 14, 2015 I ordered two of these to go under a bench and a rower. I was afraid the folds might be a problem, but went ahead and ordered them anyway based on good reviews. Well, they are actually a problem....the mats never sit nice and flat against the floor. They are pretty thin so any weight makes them curl up like you would expect and any movement; and I mean ANY movement makes the folds push up for a trip hazard. Also, there is no way they will stay together if you try them side by side....any activity or weight makes them shift around so there is always an uneven gap between them.I'm using them but just for a carpet protector and since it's just me working out, it is tolerable...but just barely. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 2% There are no reviews yet |

One Star Reviews: | 5% screw holes are stripped out on a piece…HELP! August 29, 2017 Very disappointed. I have spent a good part of the evening trying to assemble my exercise bike only to discover that the holes/threading where you attach the monitor/handlebars to the frame with the screws, are completely stripped! I know the trick, that when there are 4 screws, to tighten each cross corner, not screwing them all down individually, so to have ALL FOUR holes stripped really upset me. The monitor/handlebars will not stay attached. I CANNOT USE THIS BIKE. from the looks of it, all I need is a new Monitor/handlebar so that I can attach it to the frame… It is this piece that has the stripped out screw holes… I would like to keep the bike but need a replacement piece… Please advise. UPDATE: The company, Paradigm Health & Wellness, reached out to me upon my review to correct my situation. They replaced the monitor/handlebar, and screws, and I am now able to use my bike. It works GREAT and I appreciate the swift actions/resolution to my issue. THANK YOU, Paradigm Health & Wellness! Looking for Customer Service Help! August 19, 2017 Descent bike, wide seat, I'm a bit short at 5'1 reaching the pedals with the seat all the way to the bottom, but my problem is I just set up the bike, even though I bought it a few months due to having surgery and awaiting the recovery period. I was disappointed to see that the LCD did not work. I am looking for a good customer service phone number. When I contacted the warranty section I was told I needed to contact the manufacturer first due to the LCD monitor was not on warranty. A bit puzzled about the warranty then. Set up was fairly easy and the operation was nearly silent in the beginning August 30, 2016 I purchased this bike after reading all the glowing reviews of the product. For the first two months, the bike performed as intended. Set up was fairly easy and the operation was nearly silent in the beginning. I mostly used the bike in the 5-6 resistance range and sometimes up to 8. However, after several months, I started to note that the pedalling wasn't smooth and was slipping at resistance 4 and above. Under the bike showed a lot of what looked like ground up rubber on the floor below the flywheel casing. Eventually, going even above resistance two caused a "cracking noise" and now the bike does not work at all. A quick search of Amazon reviews showed that I'm not the only one with the issue. bike started making clicking and whirring sounds after a few weeks of usage. These sounds became louder as the bike usage increased. The pedals/cranks also began slipping (from heavy tension to almost zero tension within a single crank stroke) during moderate use. As other reviews attest to, the bike became unusable for anything other than very short, low resistance rides. Given how the heinous problems that basically every reviewer with a similar has had with the company, I have not even bothered to try and contact the 800 number. Keep your expectations low--the bike will work well for a time, but the honeymoon is brief. As others have said, if you want any kind of serious workout, you will end up quickly with a broken bike. The bike itself is great however it came with a piece broken internally August 15, 2016 The bike itself is great however it came with a piece broken internally. Customer service for the warranty is terrible, will not answer calls only emails. The 1 year warranty only covers the frame, everything else is only 90 days. Unit was delivered damaged and per their warranty they will only send me replacement parts which i have to take apart the main pulley, which i shouldn't have to do for a broken unit upon delivery. Bike okay, manufacture terrible. Customer service terrible. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT! ALSO THE HEART RATE MONITOR IS NOT ACCURATE AT ALL! Damaged upon delivery March 2, 2016 Two of my friends have this bike and seem to really enjoy using it. The price is great, it doesn't take up a lot of space, and the seat provides a decent amount of cushioning. I figured this would be perfect since I've been looking to buy a piece of exercise equipment for a while. It showed up at my house and I assembled the entire bike, only to find that it didn't work. For some reason, the magnetic piece on the flywheel that is supposed to track time, calories, speed, ect., was not communicating any of this info to the center screen. This made the screen completely useless, because I couldn't track any of my stats. This was such a huge letdown because I was really excited to use this bike. I called the customer service number and they told me to watch a youtube video on how to possibly fix this problem, but after attempting this for a few hours, it proved to be fruitless. Needless to say, I am sending it back. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 2% Useless. DON'T waste your money October 16, 2017 Cheap mat. Constantly wrinkles everytime I use my rower. Useless.

September 22, 2017 I had one before of Nordic trackLight foam ,loved it this was bigger heavier and of rubber don't like Not satisfied March 24, 2017 Discovered i did not need mat once the assemblers came to put my bike together. Upon request to return mat o noticed a refund of $16, versus the $26 I originally paid. Not very pleased with that. Will avoid future shopping with this merchant Waste of Money March 14, 2017 Don't waste your money like I did. Thin, fold up natute reduces surface area. Hazardous Materials? March 9, 2016 Came with a warning that is contains carcinogenic chemicals or chemicals that cause birth defects. I have a young child in the house who would probably be fascinated by the texture and would want to touch it, and we have a hereditary cancer gene, so I prefer manufacturers who choose materials that aren't hazardous. I've already had cancer once, and would prefer to avoid a repeat. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 2% There are no reviews yet |
