Fan Bikes & Air Bikes
Shop the full range of fan bikes and air bikes at GymEquipment.co.uk. While they might look like a usual exercise bike with a seat and pedals, an air bike doesn’t have any handlebars. Instead, it has elliptical poles and uses a fan to create resistance. The point of this piece of gym equipment is that you must pedal and move your arms, you are therefore getting an upper and lower body workout at the same time.
Fan bikes are sometimes lovingly referred to as the ‘misery machine’. That’s because of the highly intensive workouts they can give you which has made them so popular with the CrossFit community and those wanting a HIIT or Tabata workout, as you can switch intensity. It is also a good piece of kit to use for a warmup — five minutes on an air bike will certainly prepare you for the rest of your workout.
An air bike is also great for those in rehab as it is not hard on joints in the ankles or knees. It is also possible to isolate muscles — you can, for example, use the handles or pedals only. Air bikes are also a great investment as they grow with you. The fitter you get, the harder you will work, and the better resistance you will get.
Alongside making sure your fan exercise bike fits your space, you’ll also want to consider extra features such as a well-padded, adjustable seat pad, moisture resistant handlebars, adjustable straps on pedals, and footrest pegs. Look for quality and durability as your air bike will then service you well. So, check out what the air bike is made from — a steel frame is important.
Some air bikes for sale also offer interesting features. Attack Fitness Air Attack for example offer a sweat and wind guard that can be purchased separately to make your workout more comfortable. The Hammer Strength HD Air Bike model has wheels, a great feature if you need to move your bike.
Then there’s the metrics. Do you want a console that will tell you your heart rate, the calories you are burning, and the time you have spent on the bike? You may also want to access different workouts so check out our models to see what they can offer you.
