Upright Bikes

Upright bikes are incredibly popular pieces of home gym equipment and not just due to their compact size. An upright exercise bike provides the perfect low-impact cardio workout as well as costing slightly less than other equipment like treadmills and rowers. They also have a smaller footprint than most other equipment. With some great options and easy-to-use consoles, they are the 'go to' for many.

Upright exercise bikes

An upright exercise bike looks like a regular exercise bike, with pedals beneath you and handlebars. You simply sit on it and pedal, and the resistance will either come from a belt or magnetic resistance.

We stock an exciting range of upright bikes from brands that include Life Fitness, Sole and Spirit Fitness. An upright bike best mirrors the feeling of being on a real bike outdoors, so check out the ranges we sell and don’t forget to buy one of our great floor protection mats or invest in functional gym flooring. Our gym design service can help you choose the right options for your needs.

Benefits of an upright exercise bike

A gym upright bike offers a versatile, low-impact workout suitable for a wide range of fitness levels. Key benefits include:

  • Effective cardio workout: Helps improve cardiovascular fitness, endurance, and overall heart health

  • Calorie burning: Supports weight loss and general fitness goals through consistent training

  • Muscle engagement: Targets key lower-body muscles, including the glutes, hamstrings, calves (gastrocnemius and soleus), as well as engaging the core and abdominal muscles

  • Beginner-friendly: Easy to use and intuitive, closely replicating a traditional cycling position

  • Suitable for all levels: Works well for both beginners and experienced users due to adjustable resistance

  • Affordable option: Often more cost-effective compared to other cardio machines
