To get a workout in without spending a fortune, you are going to be shopping for a bike that has the consumer in mind. That is exactly what you get with the Gold’s Gym Trainer 110. They have your budget in mind and all you need to worry about is getting in your workout when you purchase it.
Flywheel
While this bike does not 100% mimic the feel of a road bike, it is very similar. Pedaling is very smooth and we really enjoyed using this spin bike. For the money you would expect to pay for this model, the feel of riding it is a lot better than even some of the more expensive units.
Built In Workouts
The Gold’s Gym Trainer 110 has only 2 workouts that are build into the machine. While this not be a lot, they are actually very good. They are designed by a certified personal trainer and are build to help you maximize your workout to lose weight. Remember the more calories you burn, the faster you will lose weight. This is achieved in the built in workouts by changing the resistance during a workout program.
The Computer
Almost every spin bike has a small basic computer and the Gold’s Gym Trainer 110 is no exception. What I really like about this one though is that they have a feature to track your target pace. It will let you know if you are on pace and if you need to slow down or push yourself super hard to reach the correct pace to lose weight. Of course, you do not need to use any of the build in workouts if you do not want to. Simply set the resistance where you feel comfortable and start pedaling!
As for the features of the screen, the LCD displaces the simple things you need to see such as your speed, your distance, time, and how many calories you hace burned. It also will display your pulse but you will need to place your thumb on the heart rate sensor. There are never perfect and is meant to give you just an idea of where your heart rate is at. You will have to spend a lot more money to get a heart rate monitor that is spot on, so we do not really think this is a problem. Honestly, you should be busy pedaling and working out hard to even bother taking your pulse most of the time.
The Seat
We have said it time and again, but most budget bikes have awful seats that you will need to fix. What came as a surprise with the Gold’s Gym Trainer was that the seat has excellent padding, is large and over sized, and can be adjusted to any riding position you want no matter your height or weight. We actually found it very comfortable! You can also be happy that the handlebars are also comfortable because of the padding. This should allow you to work out for longer without hands hurting like sometimes happens.
Transportation
The 110 Trainer comes with transport wheels which are built in, letting you move your bike anywhere you want.
Weight Limit
The weight limit on this bike is 250 pounds. If you are larger than that, please look into different models.
User Reviews of the Gold’s Gym Trainer 110
People have said this bike is relatively quiet, great for long workouts, and are liking the adjustable resistance. Of course the majority of comments have something to do with how cheap the bike is because it is a great value for their money and a lot of people are saying it is comfrotable. This is great to see as so many budget bikes are not comfy at all, but this one is!
The only con we can find is that the heart rate monitor is not very accurate, but again, you will not use this much as you should be focused on your workout and not fiddling with your thumbs on the monitor.
I would said that this is a good purchase!
