EXERPEUTIC 2500 ExerWork Bluetooth Smart Cloud Fitness Adjustable Desk Recumbent Bike with Free APP

I got the ExerWork Desk Recumbent Bike to review for Walmart. It arrived in two separate boxes. One was very heavy and contained the frame and most of the parts. The second box had the tray and seat in it. It took about two and a half hours to unpack all of it and put it together. All together there are ninety parts in these two boxes which includes a hardware pack with an Allen wrench, multi-hex tool with Phillips screwdriver and an Open-ended wrench. The tools are a little odd to use so I got some of my own easier to hold tools out. Every size tool you need is included if you don't have the right size tools available. It was more comfortable for me to use my own but I did not have to. The monitor has all the features anyone could want including time, speed, distance, and calories burned. I like the seat. It is very comfortable to me. The tray is great. It has two cup holders and plenty of room for papers, books, phone, or whatever you want to have in front of you while you exercise. Things don't slide off. You can scan for a Bluetooth device to pair with MyCloudFitness.com. This app is easily downloaded to your phone and can be used to view reports from your exercise routine. It can be used to combine other exercise info inputted from your day. I am just getting started but like the way this exercise bike looks and feels.

No time for exercise? Now there is no excuse! This machine is awesome. Now I can work on computer stuff or simply watch Netflix on my laptop while I exercise. Height and length can be adjusted as well as the tension on the pedals. I absolutely love this machine I can't say enough good things about it. It is fairly heavy but surprisingly takes up minimal space. Made very well and I am extremely happy with this product.

This product is good with a app to that. Wow I always wanted one of these. I seen it a lot. But couldn't afford it. Lucky me I just it free. And I enjoy it. I didn't open it yet. I'm waiting on my husband to put it together. But I enjoy the old one I know I will diffenty enjoy this one. With the desk top computer and a app. Wow. . I Will recommend this product to everyone who ask for i love it.

Pros: - Very good way to exercise and doing something else like work or enjoy anything on a laptop - Has 2 cup holders or hold anything you need - I like the table border to hold my laptop so that it doesn't slide down - Can follow up progress with the App - App very easy to use and connect with the bike - The chair is comfortable Cons: - There are 2 inexplicable out of place small pieces under the table that are a little longer than the table's surface hitting my legs every time I paddle (I cut them though) - The height table adjustment isn't convenient, it's either too low and my legs hit the knobs or the 2 small pieces, or either the table is too high even though I tried to move the chair, table angle, slide it back and forth - The table is made of plastic which might (I would even say “will”) easily break when trying to lift up the table because the base below is very heavy and I think the movement of most people would probably think of doing when they want to move the bike is to lift up (there isn't any warning message) - Not convenient to move the bike - Max weight capacity is 250 lbs

This month I chose the EXERPEUTIC 2500 ExerWork Bluetooth Smart Cloud Fitness Adjustable Desk Recumbent Bike with Free APP as my choice to test and review upon. Due to the fact of my being over weight and having some health issues I felt this would be a perfect item to choose. Little did I know upon reading the first couple of pages that due to the medical conditions I do suffer from it would not be in my best interest to use this bike. I then checked out several other recumbent bikes which all stated the same thing. I called my doctor and she agreed that while needing exercise this is not what I would need or should use to start out with . Low impact such as chair yoga then phasing in a bit more strenuous exercise. So please as stated in the instruction booklet READ and look at all Instructions before proceeding. So even if you feel you don't want to read anything else and just follow the picture diagrams first read the IMPORTANT SAFETY-GUIDELINES page. So first and foremost the bike is beautiful, well made and packed very well for shipping. It comes in (2) packages one weighing 18 lbs and the other 72 lbs. I happened to have needed a hand truck which the Fed Ex delivery Person so nicely carried from his truck and put onto my hand truck and even strapped it on safely for me. The seat and the desk part were in the smaller box and the rest of the bike was in the bigger box. I hate the styrofoam that most companies use although it is good for shipping but this was packaged so well and they also used rolled hard pieces of corrugated buffers to absorb the impacts that this size and type of packaging may incur. I was very impressed. The instruction booklet while being straightforward is for me the perfect type of booklet. Few words and basic instructions. Step by step and numbered. I found at first that it looked a bit overwhelming but then said for the amount of parts and few nuts, bolts and washers it must mean that i would be using several on one part which turned out correctly. The few parts that did need assembling were the same on the left side as it was on the right therefore i didn't need to over think it. Only because of not feeling well I did need some help with placing or hold int up the main frame and the desk and seat but had I not been ill I could have done this by myself and been done in I would think half the time i took which was 1 hour and 10 minutes. 10 minutes for unpacking arranging and cleaning up and 60 minutes for the actual reading of the manual and putting the bike together. This is quite a nice looking bike and its really great for several reasons. First is he padding on the seat. Whether you have a bit old butt like mine or a skinny no butt like my husband it is extremely comfortable and doesn't retain heat. Therefore there is a flow of air that prevents sweat from building up. The seat back is nice also a little bit harder of cushioning but i feel very appropriate. The desk goes in more positions than i could count so basically someone like me that is 5 foot can have it comfortable at one height and someone like my husband at the height for someone at 6 foot 1 inch. I love that the pedals have the safety straps which encase the whole front of your sneaker so there isn't any chance of your feet slipping off the pedals. The desk affords you not only the ability to do some work (or play) but has two cup holders that are big enough for my water bottles and adult sippy cup. I am most impressed with the tension though. There is a dial which lets you increase or decrease depending on your own likeness of this feature. The desk has its own digital readout for you to track your progress or you can use the free app which is iCloud related to be able to follow a more involved workout. I personally feel that the one on the desk top is plenty but a serious person who basically has a workout routine that they follow religiously would definitely benefit from the iCloud one. If you really aren't into going to the gym this bike is for you it is working all the major parts of the body especially if you in Corte rate some small hand held weights and you will enjoy a total body workout. I personally would recommend this beautiful exercise bike. It has features that can enhance your workout and also gives you time to work on something (under 44lbs)at the desk top while doing your body good. The only reason for giving 4 stars and not the 5 I feel that they worded out such a great way to pack this bike up but could have at the same time connected some of the nuts boys and screws to the different parts they needed to be. Not only does the instructions make this look a WHOLE lot harder to assemble than it is but it also made it take twice as long figuring out what was what by having to compare to photos by cross referencing different things. Just too much work for something that could have been done in the factory.
