ProForm 290 SPX Indoor Cycle TrainerThe ProForm 290 SPX is a very budget friendly trainer.  The 290 was designed for users of all fitness levels.  Commonly referred to as a spinning bike,Proforn 290 SPX Indoor Cycle Trainer Articles this trainer is fully adjustable, the seat adjusts vertically and horizontally to ensure the most comfortable position.  The nonslip handlebars are also fully adjustable.  Users complement the smooth, sturdy quiet ride, this is due to the chain drive system.  One need only slightly adjust the resistance lever to experience a big workout boost or get a needed break.  The brake was also cited by users as very helpful in slowing down after a long hard workout.  The pedals come equipped with toe cages for additional stability, however the pedals can be flipped over for added intensity.  The seat is nicely padded, the water bottle holder is convenient and the built in transport wheels make moving this 112lb machine a breeze.  This cycle does not have a console which many serious spinners tout as a benefit as there is nothing to get in the way when doing the standing hill climb.  The lack of console also helps the keep the price very low and makes assembly quick and pain free.ProForm is a well known company in the treadmill industry, but they have expanded and now compete in nearly every fitness category.  ProForm offers a five year manufacturer’s warranty on the frame and a limited 90 day manufacturer’s warranty on parts and labor.The Breakdown
