I have the previous version of this  bike bought as a TSV from QVC more than 7-8 yrs ago. I started out very well riding the bike daily but then I got off track.  Right now it's sitting in the corner of my bedroom and I haven't rode it in over a year.    After having a repeat knee replacement in 2020 it's still difficult to completely bend my right knee and there is still a little pain and permanent swelling. For those interested it's a good exercise bike and worth the price JMO.

It looks like a nice bike, but we already have one. My husband uses it almost everyday. I don't care for exercise bikes, myself. After more than 20 years, I'm still doing aerobics DVD's 5 days a week. I mostly do Leslie Sansone. I also do a strength training DVD for seniors called HASfit. I bought a squating machine because I noticed I was starting to have a little more difficulty standing up after sitting awhile. The squat machine is doing wonders!

I like it, but I already have a lot of exercise equipment that I don't use, lol. Don't need another dust collector.

My husband and I purchased last years version. We both use it most every day. He walks a good 4 miles and on days due to weather he will use the bike. I usually do anywhere between 8-14 miles on the bike each day. It is not all in one sitting but thru the day.

Love the fact that the bike can be folded up and put along side the wall.

Hi, thank you! What squat machine do you own?

To those who have this bike or a version of it is it good quality? I don't want to buy something that will break down in a year or more. Thanks.

I have another version of Fitnation bike that was a TSV in January 2022.  It's a sturdy bike and I like the large seat.  I seriously considered a much more expensive indoor bike, but decided on this one.  

My display is larger than the one on this current TSV.  I like the size of my display, but it seems like it goes through a lot of batteries.  It takes two AAA batteries.  It's not exactly easy to change them out, and it seems like not long after I replace them, it's time to replace them again.  I think it would be much easier if the place that holds the batteries were on the front instead of on the back of the display.  (I'm not sure if they changed that feature on this current bike.)  

My resistance bands for the arms are located in the middle rather than on the sides like today's version.  The bands have held up very well, but I have the resistance set and don't mess with that control.  

The worst thing is I sometimes have to fight with my cat to get on it because it's one of his favorite places to sit.  😹 

Overall, I'm glad I made this purchase.  Mine is still going strong after a couple of years and still looks new.

The only time I heard them talk about how hard it was to put together, they glossed over it, so -  I'M WONDERING HOW HARD IT IS TO PUT TOGETHER ?????  Be my luck, I'd never get it together 'right' and it would have to go in the trash.

@sarahpanda   My DH and I, between us, got an earlier version of this bike together, it was NOT easy, so unless they've improved their design, you'd want an extra pair of hands and some tools to put this one together, I'd bet.

To everybody else who has one of these bikes, can you extend your legs to almost straight when you peddle?  I am only 5'7" tall, and the previous version I got, even with the seat set as high as possible, still left my knees bent at an almost 90 degree angle at their fullest extension as I pedalled.  It took me half again as much time as usual to get the same distance I was used to getting on my old exercise bike, meaning I was riding the bike almost two hours straight!  I don't have that much extra time in my day, even if I am retired!  So DH and I took the danged thing apart again, boxed it back up, and sent it back. 

I watched the presentation last night, and nobody, no matter their height, was extending their legs to full extension, as one is supposed to do when pedalling, regular or exercise bike.  Also, the "recumbent" position is only a smidge off vertical, hardly a true recumbent.  I just cannot take a chance on this line again, not unless they make a bike that is actually properly sized for an adult.
