Flywheel's stationary bike is back to its Black Friday sale price today
The Peloton competitor Flywheel offers up similar features in its stationary bike — from a tablet to coach-led classes — and it's on sale today.
As we've written, budget-friendly options can certainly get your heart rate up without bells and whistles. It's enhanced features in higher-end options, like built-in tablets and connected group activities, that push prices up. Lindsay Goldman, the director of membership for USA Cycling, a nonprofit group focused on cycling as a sport, advises serious riders to prepare for a hefty price tag if they’re looking for quality equipment.
“Generally, the more money that you spend on cycling equipment and gear, the better it will be,” Goldman told NBC News. Interested in the Flywheel deal? Here's what you need to know.
Flywheel Home Bike with Built-In Tablet
As we reported previously, this Flywheel stationary bike lets you follow real-time workouts by Flywheel instructors and the bike is compatible with Bluetooth heart monitors you can plug right into it. Notably, there's a $90 charge for installation, but Amazon is waiving that fee for today's deal. On top of that, you can get the bike with or without the built-in tablet. Of course, the tablet does push the stationary bike to its full potential, as does its subscription. In order to utilize Flywheel's digital offerings (like those real-time workouts) a subscription is required. You'll be saving several hundred dollars either way:
- Flywheel Home Exercise Bike with Free Two-Month Subscription: $999 today, down from $1,700
- Flywheel Home Exercise Bike with Built-In Tablet and Free Two-Month Subscription: $1,299 today, down from $1,999
