The best exercise bikes for the ultimate workout

Ah, spinning. We remember the days when we’d head to spin class in our best workout leggings, ride in the dark to the sound of the latest club music and have our instructor shout at us to ‘keep going’ as we dripped in sweat. Although we might not miss the atmosphere, during the pandemic we definitely started to miss the full-body workout. That’s why we decided to invest in one of the best spin bikes to get a sweat on from the comfort of our living room.

Believe it or not, exercise bikes can deliver a seriously good workout. According to Healthline, indoor cycling can improve strength, cardiovascular health and burn calories. You may have heard of Peloton bikes, but did you know that there is a whole range of different indoor cycling bikes out there? From Nordic Track to Echelon and Apex, we’ve rounded up the best spin bikes for you to shop.

Are spin bikes worth it?

If you are looking for a total-body workout that engages all of the major muscle groups, spinning is definitely one to try. There are loads of real life classes available, however, investing in a spin bike means that you can fit your workout schedule around you. They are especially great during the winter months, when the thought of heading out in cold just isn’t cutting it. If you like switching things up, why not also check out our best treadmills for home, too?
