I purchased a Sunny Fitness Cross Trainer about a month ago. It came as agreed but when I was putting it together, I was very frustrated by the VERY small pictures in maxkare treadmill the instruction book, but upon careful inspection and slow going, things started coming together. But the second piece I went to put on, which was one of the Stabilizer Bars, as I was tightening the bolt, the part cracked and the finish started falling off, literally. I decided to keep going and see “what else might be a problem before I called Sunny” and got the back end of the cross trainer done and was getting ready to attach the “Front Post” to the main frame.
What was truly missing from this indoor cycling bike for me was a cadence monitor of some sort or RPM or resistance indicator. I also looked at my heart rate monitor to gauge my efforts, particularly because I’m pregnant and didn’t want to overexert myself. If you are completely new to indoor cycling, it might take some time to gauge your resistance levels and speed on this bike that doesn’t have a monitor to show you how you’re doing. Sunny’s Performance Treadmill tops my list because this model comes with one of the biggest running surfaces this brand offers. It also comes with a stronger motor and a good combination of workout programs to choose from.
But if all you want is a basic exercise bike to work up a sweat, this model should fit your needs. I turned on three Sunny Health & Fitness videos I found on YouTube to guide me through a workout, but overall, I found them pretty boring. The site says the seat to handlebar distance is 18 inches to 23 inches but from where my hands would be placed on the handlebars to the seat tip at the closest setting, I measured 23 inches. We have to dock this mini exercise bike some points right out of the gate for having a circular pedal motion.
The 40-pound flywheel helps to keep it running smoothly, supports speed and stability, and maintains momentum. Setting up this Sunny Health & Fitness bike took about 30 minutes in total and wasn’t too difficult. The bike’s main frame was already put together with the wheel already attached. We simply had to attach the front and back stabilizers , pedals, handlebars, and the seat.
Over the course of several weeks, we used the bike about two times a week for 30 to 40 minutes to get endurance workouts in. After recently moving into a neighborhood that is neither jogger- nor biker-friendly, this indoor bike was a great option for incorporating a cardio workout into our weekly routine without leaving the house. We loved that it was quick and easy to make adjustments, and it rode smoothly.
