Exercise bikes, like those from brands like Peloton, Echelon and Lifecycle, are a firm favourite piece of gym equipment for many no matter how much of a seasoned gym goer you may be.
The stationary fitness equipment is suitable for all ages, fitness levels and home spaces, as they are said to take up less space than treadmills, rowing machines and other gym equipment.
Whether you are looking to invest in one trusted piece of gym equipment, or transform a room in your home into a home gym of your own, an exercise bike for the home is a great place to start.
What we love most is you can use an exercise bike to warm up pre-workout, carry out your cardio, or maybe even challenge yourself with a DIY spin class.
You can sit and cycle away for 10 minutes, or a 30-minute blast, increase the tension to test your stamina, all at the flick of a switch.
Peloton is one of the most renowned brands to shop when searching for an exercise bike, but there are plenty of other brands to shop the best exercise bikes to suit all needs, and budgets.
We have sought through various fitness retailers to find the best deals and gadgets to buy now for your perfect home gym.
