Gold's Gym Power 390 Recumbent Bike 3.7 5 62 66
Great Value I spent a few days doing some online research on which bike would give me the best value. I usually read Amazon reviews before purchasing something, but this Gold's Gym bike wasn't on Amazon. Luckily, I also happened to skim through Walmart.com before making my final decision, and I came across this the Power 390. This bike offers much more than other bikes do at this price. I will agree with other reviewers and admit that the fan is basically useless, and while buying an external AC adapter can be a hassle, your total price you will spend is still better than what you would pay elsewhere for a bike of this caliber. You can find the AC adapter on Amazon for about $25. In the end, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a casual exercise bike to ride while watching TV, reading a book, etc. 04/22/2011
Excellent product The only workout machine I ever bought that didn't end up as a clothes rack. Sort of hard to assemble (I would reccomend a helper during assembly). The bike in comfortable for my big butt, used it 30 minutes on my first workout, didn't even know I was working out (until I tried to get out of bed the next day!!!). It's so quiet, I would call it SILENT. Or plug your iPod or iPhone into the built in speakers (connection cord included). Great assembly instructions, probably written by a women who actually put one together. Also good brief instructions on how to properly utilize the machine for beginning workouters...workoutees ? Great machine for watching TV while you workout because it's so silent, or read a book because both your hands are available, unlike a treadmill or elliptical Delivery was to my front door, arrived two days earlier than promised. Haven't lost any weight yet though, it's only been a week. Although I did work up a sweat during assembly. 11/01/2010
Im' very disappointed with this piece of equipment. After spending two and a half hours putting it together, the display doesn't measure calories or distance. Check the booklet and the ONE troubleshooting tip for this is to adjust the reed switch. After adjusting the reed switch dozens of times, it still doesn't work. Called Gold Gym and after spending well over a hour on hold, explained the situation and they decided it was the display. They sent a new display at no cost to me, and guess what it still doesn't work correctly. There's no calories or distance measured. This isn't worth the money. The only excercise I've gotten from this is trying to figure out what's wrong with it. It's so disappointing to spend this kind of money, have to spend so much time putting it together and then it doesn't work properly. I guess I will spend more time on hold tomorrow with Gold Gym and see what their next suggestion is. 11/03/2011
Terrible This bike has nice features with the heart rate moniter, speed, and calories, but the batteries get drained very quickly. If you want the power pack hopefully you have an extra $94 lying around. Do not buy this bike. 11/26/2010
