Sports reviews of Schwinn Airdyne AD4 Upright Exercise Bike

Customer Review: Great Work Out!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I can not comment on assembly since I actually purchased this bike from a Schwinn bike shop. I wish I did purchase here since I would have saved $150 from the retail price. After reading the reviews here I would have then taken the bike to the shop for assembly since they sell and assemble many of these bikes. It seems if building for the 1st time this may cause problems.

Anyway this bike is built like a tank, everything is solid and sturdy! I finally wanted to take charge of my health by adding a work out plan to my daily activities. I really do not eat that much, I just had ZERO activity in my schedule since I work all day in a office. For the last couple of months the Airdyme brings a healthy daily work-out into my daily schedule. I am able to ride for approximately 45mins each day minimum, sometimes twice for 30minutes each. Since

Positives:

-ZERO soreness in joints - smooth full body work-out! This is why I choose this over a tread-mill or jogging.
-Computer is simple while showing basic progress. Bike itself is simple, just get on and ride!
-Work-out quality is superb, after a 30+ minute session I'm sweating crazy with the sweat starting at 10-15mins (again I am out of shape!)
-I can ride anytime and it is compact enough I can place in my home office so others will not be bothered.
-This takes ZERO time out of my daily schedule since I can ride AT HOME while watching a movie or TV which I do anyway.
-No special equipment or special clothing required. Often I ride with sweat socks and slippers!

Really Zero Cons:
-Seat does take getting used too (which I have!), however I will take slightly sore butt over sore knees and ankles any day!
-Can be noisy, but I resolved this with a headset plugged into PC for Media entertainment. Not a con at all since almost any machine will produce some noise.

Overall this very well may be the best purchase I have made over the last 20 years, which even includes my home! Ultimately I may decide to include additional work out machines but I can see that the Airdyme will always be apart of a daily work-out schedule! I was able to test this bike compared to others at the shop where I purchased and quickly determined the higher price was worth it! This bike felt more comfortable while others felt less sturdy and secure. This bike is not intended for cross-bike training but rather a good entry-level full-body work-out machine.

Updated 7/22/10 - 4 months later and 30 pounds lighter! The Airdyne seems to be well put together still holding up without any problems. Highly recommend!

Description of Schwinn Airdyne AD4 Upright Exercise Bike

The Airdyne Exercise Bike is simply smart%2E Wind resistance is exponential%2C so the harder you pedal%2C the higher the resistance becomes%2E This naturally provides the right workout for both a novice exerciser and an elite athlete%2E
Save money on monthly gym fees and get yourself in shape at the same time with the Schwinn Airdyne upright exercise bike. The Airdyne features a smooth, air-based resistance braking system along with a pair of sturdy exercise arms. The advantage of the unique air resistance system is that it offers as much resistance as you can handle.


The Airdyne's dual-action arms help you work out your entire body.
The harder you pedal, the greater the resistance. The dual-action design, meanwhile, synchronizes your arm and leg movements to simulate your natural motion, helping you work your upper and lower body at the same time. Finally, the air resistance system creates streams of cooling air while you pedal, making for a comfortable home workout.

The Airdyne includes a comprehensive computer console that provides feedback on time, distance, workload level, calories burned, calories per hour, heart rate, and RPM. As a result, it's easy to keep track of your overall fitness level. Other features include an extra-quiet chain drive system; built-in heart rate monitoring; an LCD display; an anatomically correct seat with extra padding; and a capacity of 300 pounds. The Airdyne measures 50 by 22.5 by 48 inches (L x H x W), weighs 96 pounds, and carries the following warranties: 30 years on the frame, three years on parts and electronics, and one year on labor and wear items.
