NordicTrack GX 5.1 Spinning bike

cheerspal

Been doing spinning classes for a few months now and thinking about buying the following;

- http://www.nordictrack.co.uk/bikes/racing-series/nordictrack-gx-51-indoor-cycle.html

The class is the same every week, same music and intervals so its beginning to be a bit of a bore.

I Will save a €10 for the class, petrol getting there and back and also have a 1 year old so spare time is precious and if I can jump on the bike at night and do a session well and good. There is also £200 quid off it and delivery included in that price as I rang to confirm there.

Anyone any experience with the GX 5.1?

Its hard to find reviews for Spinning bike but spent a bit of time reviewing what I can find and this seems to be pretty solid for the money without being noisy like a few others.

Or anyone got a spin bike at home and finding it good or is it just helping as a second wardrobe!

My 2c.... Buy a turbo, cheaper, easier to store and easy to shift if your re selling.

A friend of mine is selling this one. I've seen it, like new and he hasn't used it. Good value at 175 considering Im about to drop 800 or so on a turbo trainer.

What trainer are you popping €800 on? A Watt bike?

Haven't decided, a Cyclops Powerbeam, Bushido with a few extras and shipping or a Kickr.

A Wattbike btw would cost £2500 or so.
