Not everyone can afford or justify buying an expensive, top-of-the-line recumbent exercise bike and for those a ProForm recumbent could be a good alternative. The company makes three models, representing a whole. The following is a review of the ProForm exercise bikes.

ProForm recumbent bikes retail from around $ 250 to $ 500. As mentioned, there are three models of which only two really worth considering. But let's start by looking at the model that is better ignored.

The GR 80 is for sale for around $ 250 and is the cheapest of the recumbent exercise bikes from ProForm. It may be a good thing for something that is very cheap to build, but sometimes you can too cheap to build, and GR 80 is definitely too cheaply built to be a real value. You just know that it is cheap just by looking at it. The legs are spindly and look, the chair looks thin, hard and uncomfortable and the console leaves much to be desired. But it does have some good selling points. It comes with CoolAire ventilator, a heart rate monitor and 4 built-in programs. However, it has a design fault that this below par, the seat can be adjusted only vertically, no horizontal adjustment. This is one feature that really needs to stand alone to any recumbent and for this reason, the GR 80 is to be avoided.

Next in line is the GR 90 Trainer Cycle. Now we're getting somewhere. The legs and show a robust image Coolux and it comes with a seat that is anti-bacterial and helps to keep you cool. You also get the CoolAire fan and hand grip sensors. There are 10 levels of magnetic resistance. Plus you your iFIT personal training. iFIT card technology is proving very popular and is used on other types of fitness equipment. There is no doubt that many users of a certain form motivation and iFIT gives you your own 'virtual fitness coach'. Finally comes with six smart programs to give you a good cardiovascular workout. The GR 90 is for sale for about $ 400.

The most expensive model is the GT 120 Cycle. In terms of quality and design, the best of the models. You get all the GR 90, but with a slightly better console. You also get 6 personal trainer workouts and 2 Heart Rate Training. It retails for about $ 500.

Of the two you're probably better off getting the GT120, but if you want to save yourself one hundred U.S. dollars then the GR 90 is perfectly adequate, after all, you get the same programs for iFit.com and readings, you just have to compromise connected to the frame.

A ProForm exercise bike is not for everyone. If you're serious about keeping in shape or if you are looking to upgrade your existing machine then you probably better off looking else where. However, if you've never used one before and are looking for something that is cheap, but certainly adequate in getting you started, then these machines are worth a look at.
