Disclosure: I am a Smooth Fitness blogger. I received product for review, however all opinions are my own.
If you have ever considered purchasing an at-home spinning bike read this post!
I was provided a Smooth Fitness Velocity Series V350 Indoor cycling bike and I absolutely love having it in my home. Although I may not look it, I love going to spinning classes. I feel it’s a full body workout, you get all kinds of sweaty, burn some serious calories and 45 minutes of high intensity and you are done baby! Workout of the Day is complete! Unfortunately for me, I have not been able to find a good spin class here. Fortunately for me, I have my Smooth Fitness bike! If you remember this post, I showed you how I spin from home. Following along to my favorite YouTube video spinning videos.
Here’s my top features of the Smooth Fitness Velocity Series V350 Indoor cycling bike
1. Complete Stability! There’s something about a wobbly bike that makes me way nervous. And it should make you nervous too! The Smooth Fitness Velocity Series V350 Indoor cycling bike is stable and makes you feel safe to take on any hills or climbing and hovering over the handles. Has to be my favorite feature of this bike.
2. Roomy seat. Ok so it’s not comfortable exactly for new riders, but it is definitely easy to get used to and is very functional. The option to slide up or down and back and front is awesome. Gotta get the seat right for a good ride ya’ll!
3. Love-love-love the pedals! If I decide to buy the fancy riding clip shoes, this bike will work! Or if I just want to wear my tennis shoes the plastic cages on the pedals hold securely with the pull tight tie. This is such a great feature for an at home bike. I see them at the gym but knowing this bike can hang with the bikes at the gym is fabulous. These bike pedals rock!
4. How far have I gone? How many calories have I burned and how many miles have I gone on the bike are the questions you’ll have right under your nose. While the LCD screen does answer all of the questions this part of the bike falls short for me. It’s not a built on piece on the bike. It comes off very easily so I have to make sure when I’m doing ups and downs that I don’t knock it off. So it’s a yes/no feature for me.
I truly enjoyed reviewing and sharing my experience with the Smooth Fitness Velocity Series V350 Indoor cycling bike. I will continue to spin away and will update you all on my progress. My sister Kari actually cycles on the road, we were talking the other night and I told her that if I wasn’t afraid to ride a bike on the rode, I would totally cycle with her. Could you imagine?! Cycling is an amazing sport and I love the idea of road biking but for now I’ll be spinning in the privacy and safety of my home.
Question?
Do you have at home Exercise Equipment?
I would LOVE to have one of those at home. I go to spin classes 5 or 6 times a week and sometimes I just don’t feel like going, but if i had a bike at home, I would never miss a workout.
that looks compact enough to fit anywhere. i’m more of a treadmill girl but they take up way too much space
I just signed up to compete in my first sprint triathlon and I’m going to need to start riding a lot. I bet having a spin bike at home would be great for training. My goal is to lose 100 pounds and complete an IRONMAN triathlon before I turn 40.
I wish we had something like this at home, but we don’t. I really want to start working out more and so does my husband. Thanks for sharing about this.
My brother in law is living with us and has bike but it the kind you sit back in. i think he would do much better with something like this.
that’s a nice looking bike!! I like the seat- looks comfy. we just invested in an elliptical
I would love to have any cardio machine at home. I’m afraid to try spinning in public, so this would be great!
We have a treadmill at home and I love it. I can’t always get out of the house to exercise so it’s the next best thing. The idea of a bike scares me – I would get exhaust WAY too fast!
I love taking spinning classes. Such a great workout. I am not sure how I would do with an at home spin bike because the classes are so lively and motivational
I have always wanted to try a spinning class but refuse to get a gym membership because I know, with 4 kids, I wouldn’t make it often enough to get my money’s worth. Having this in my home would be awesome though! Looks amazing!
This looks like a good SPIN bike for the home. I just go to the gym and take the classes.
Great features! We have an eliptical but I have been wanting a bike.
I don’t currently have any exercise equipment at home but I have been wanting to invest in an elliptical. Anything for cardio works for me!
That bike is awesome! I have an eliptical but it does not work, so it is just sitting there.
So with you about the wobbles. That can’t happen. Glad this is really secure and steady.
I’ve reallly been wanting a treadmill, but next in line would be a bike. I really like the way this one looks too. I’m not very graceful, so I’d much rather fall off a bike at home than at the gym in front of 20 people. :/
I need something like this for myself. I would ride it while watching my shows in the evening!!
Oh I really need something like this. I love to run but when it’s cold outside– I do nothing.
Sigh….I miss riding my bike in winter. I really need to get something like this – I could ride when I catch up on all my DVR watching!
I would love this! It would be so nice to do and just have a few minutes everyday to myself to think.
I would love to do this! With the cold outside, its hard for me to do anything.
I have at home exercise equipment, dvd’s and a gym membership. I worked out this morning and am 1500 steps away from my 10000 goal today. Yay workouts!
I’m scared to cycle on the road too, esp. where I live in the country w/the hills and such. I would do it in the house though!!
I have a treadmill, and I am the WORST at using it! 🙁 I’m trying to be better though.
I need one of these badly, or a treadmill. Something to keep me motivated and working out at home more!
I have a Yoga mat if that counts? I would much rather have something like this.
This looks like a great way to fit in your fitness routine around a busy day. That seems to be most of my days lately, so this would be great!
It looks great like something we could use and pack away… I’d love one too.
Wow that looks like a great and compact exercise machine! I know I need to get more fitness into my life.
I don’t have any at home. I really have been wanting to try a bike, though.
Ok, I need one of these! I have got to become a little more active.
One of the things that I hate about the exercise bike that we have at home is that it hurts my butt, lol. I know you said that this one hurts at first but at least you say it’s easy to get used to. I never got used to mine. 🙂
This looks like a really nice bike with some awesome features. I need to start getting more active as I barely ever use my elliptical anymore.
This is great advice. I taught a niece to ride this way, but we practiced on a slight decline so that it was easier for her to glide along and practice balance.My son could have really used this scooter a few years ago!
I would give it to my daughter and son to share.
