Hello all. This is my first post on this forum. I'm a 63 year old former marathon runner. I'm a former marathoner because I have no more cartilage in my left knee joint. I've decided that to continue to get enough aerobic exercise, I'm going to need to purchase an indoor (spin) cycle. I'm just confused now with all of the different options. The Peloton may be the favorite for a lot of people, but the initial price tag and continuing subscription cost seems pretty high (although it may be worth it). A lot of reviews (top 5 or 10 type reviews) have the Sunny Health & Fitness Belt Drive (about $350) at the top, but it's pretty basic, with no display for RPM, distance, etc. The one I seem to keep circling back to is the Nordic Track Commercial Studio S15i. It seems reasonably priced at about $1600 and has a lot of bells and whistles, but I've read complaints about customer service and some hardware or iFit connection issues.
Any input from indoor cyclists would be greatly appreciated. Tell me what kind of bike you have and why you like or dislike it, especially if you have one of the Nordic Track bikes.
Thanks in advance!
