This cardio Mini Cycle is perfect for senior who don't want to walk on sidewalks as there is no tripping and falling to worry about. I more strength in my legs for walking when shopping for groceries. I peddle one hour after breakfast and one hour before bed time.
I bought this two months ago, and ride 25 minutes 2-5 times each week. Noise was a consideration in my purchase as I reside in a second floor apartment, and didn't care to disturb the tenant below.
The machine is very quiet and smooth, and is all I anticipated, altough this model does not have wheels on the front stabilizer, and has to be dragged around, but that's not too tough.
Assembly was straightforward, and I put everything together with threadlocker (blue, not red) and went over it again after a half dozen sessions to be sure all the fasteners were appropriately tight.
I do most of my work on "2" but occasionally raise the dial one or two spots. I can't figure how the load adjustment operates, so I take the precaution of stopping the pedals before changing the load up or down.
I'm an old guy with a 92-year old bottom, and have no complaints about the size or padding of the seat.
I don't take any meds, but my doc was very impressed by the drop in my BP after I had been using this for a month or so.
The quality seems good, and I would not be shy about recommending this bike. It seems to be worth the $$.

Bought this to replace one that was cracking and possibly fixing to break. I bought this one to replace it, and it fit great. Maybe took 5 minutes to put on.
I love the bike but the instructions for setting things (like the timer) are not very clear for an old tech-averse person like myself
Excellent Beginner Dumbbell Bench. Securely packaged to protect unit and easy to assemble with clear instructions. Stands nicely in front of my Dumbbell Rack allowing compact storage when not in use.
Replacement seats fit perfectly. Installation was a breeze. Ordered on a Thursday and received them on Monday.
The Olympic bench press came in a box well packaged. Instructions were a little tricky because it was strictly illustrations only no writing, but I was able to figure it out in no time. It came together nicely and I have been enjoying it for the last two weeks works great.
I've had this machine for a couple of weeks now. It's really an all around good machine. I just wish its base were more sturdy. It kinda wobbles a little bit when I do the squats on the Smith rack. That's my only gripe. The leg extension on the included bench is amazing, and the cables allow me to do pull downs and many more arm workouts that I can only do at gyms prior to having this machine. Btw... those who complain that this thing has missing parts after buying this machine probably lost it while trying to put it together and blamed it on the company instead of owning up to it and just ask for more parts....
Timely delivery. Fit perfectly. Easy to install. Reasonably priced with free delivery.
This was an upgrade from the Marcy Pro 990. It's a significant upgrade in quality (it oughta be right). I had some minor complaints with the 990. The weights were big so your range of travel was short, I frequently found myself fidgeting with chains so I could get a good travel during a workout without topping out short of a full movement. It was also a little loose on the press and butterfly, so you were bottoming out before getting a good stretch across the chest.
Pros:
1. The weights are metal and slim. You get so much travel, no more custom fitting chains for each exercise.
2. The "flipper" at the lower pulley was a fantastic idea! Somewhere to stand level, so no more lifting the machine up while doing curls or calf raises.
3. It's tall! Bottoming out before reaching the top of a lat pull is a thing of the past, as well as lifting off the seat thanks to the knee bars in the back. Too tall now for a face pull without leaning back significantly but I have another machine for that. Worth the tradeoff.
4. I really like the independent movement of the press and butterfly bars. You actually get some stability work in there too. You can go as narrow or as wide as you like.
5. The added row is great! No more sitting on the floor.
6. The end caps holding the cushions on the bars are great, no more fighting the foam sliding off. The "leather" covers were a nice addition.
7. Adjustable seat and back are always a welcome treat.
Cons: Not really cons, just me nitpicking
1. I do miss the preacher bench, but I knew it was gone when I purchased.
2. The cage around the weights is about 2 inches too narrow on the opening to grab the weight selector plate quickly. Really though it takes 5 seconds instead of 2.
3. I do wish the back cushion could come straight out, as well as the tilt forward that it has now.
All said, I'm really happy with the purchase. It's a beast and it looks cool. The room that this is in is 6' x 10", it fit's perfectly.
As with my previous cable the cable twists when upper pulleys are exercised. I have installed swivels to minimize torque on the cable to no avail.
The weight bench is very sturdy and comfortable to use. I highly recommend the product.
