Comfortable and easy to use, the Stamina Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike is great for working out in front of the TV. You get great exercise without even realizing it! The bike puts you in a semi-reclined position, so your cardio workout also strengthens and tones all the major muscles in your hips, thighs, and buttocks. The magnetic resistance of the heavy-weighted flywheel is easily adjusted with a grip-edged, 8-position dial knob that can be easily reached and adjusted without interrupting your workout.

I love my stamina stationary bike! I have a bad back and a bum knee, so standing exercise is very difficult for me. This bike is comfortable to sit on for the duration of my workout and very quiet. It's great cardio and I can feel it in my thighs, even my abs. Finally - exercise truely made easy. This is definitely something I can stick with!

I was skeptical at first.. but this is a great product, easy to use, comfortable. Great value for the money. I have back problems and the seat makes it better. Easy to put together but I recommend having someone help you. Goes faster and easier with 2. Very quiet and easy to read digital monitor.

Don't be concerned that " you get what you pay for" This is a well built home exercise bike; it just happens to be an great example of Walmarts exceptional prices. It has a nice range of resistance to make your areobic exercise as challanging as you want it to be.
Also was easy to put together. Even if you don't read instructions take time to sort the parts first. After sorting, it is all rather intuitive or you can read the easy to follow instructions

i purchased this after reading several positve and glowing reviews. However be careful when opening the bag with all the parts. The handles with the Up/Down tension buttons were not stuck onto the handle instead they were stuck the plastic wrap. i could not remove the handled form the plasti with out tearing the connectors becasue the tape the packer used was wrapped all the way around the handle. I called to company to see about getting the part replaced. The service rep was very curteousand understanding. said they would replace no problem. That was a week ago. i recieved a call to let me know the part was currently out of stock and they would ship it out as soon as they get them in. in 2 more weeks. So far good service and communications. We'll see how thing go after i get the part replaced. The bike is otherwise very sturdy and easy to assemble. until it gets fixed i cannot change the tension on the pedals. Way to tight.

Had to return the first one after fully assembling it(about an hour). It had a couple of problems that I tried to get corrected thru the manufacturer. Avoid that if possible. After looking closer at the package, it appeared to be a re-pack.

The second unit seems to be working good, really a good value. It seems a little hard to pedal for both my wife and myself at the lowest tension. Both were like that. It has a warning in the instructions that it is not to be used if you are over 250 pounds, I think that should be prominently displayed on the carton. Neither of us weigh near that.

Overall, it serves our purpose at a very reasonable price.

I have owned this bike for about 4 months now. I was skeptical of it's value when I saw the price. However, it has held up very well so far with use about 4 times a week. It is rated for only 250 lbs., but I weighed 285 when I started and the bike has shown no adverse effects. The downside is the ajustable seat. The more you use the bike, the tightening bolt comes loose and the seat begins to move away from the unit. I solved this by measuring and drilling holes for me and my wife. I'm sure this voided the warranty, but so far the bike has held up very well. I also pedal backward to work my hamstrings. I emailed the Stamina company and they said it does not damage the unit. If you are a beginner like me and want a nice starter machine that won't break the bank, I would recommend this bike.

I love my resistance bike and I can't resist using it every morning. It makes me feel like I'm doing something instead of just running without a goal. When I get off it, I actually feel like dancing.

When I picked up bike Walmart associate was very helpful and friendly. Assembly was fairly easy except for a few parts. Overall a good bike to do everyday exercising. Would like to see a tension control to adjust the tension on the bike.

Pretty easy to assemble but the tension was too high and the buttons wouldn't work to make it go down. I called the company and they told me to replace the batteries but that didn't help. The company ended up telling me they would send me replacement handles but I didn't feel like waiting so I returned this item. I wouldn't purchase or recommend this bike.

I bought this for the days I'm not able to make it to the gym so that I can try to work out every day, and so I can help my fiance get back into good enough shape that he isn't embarrassed to go to the gym with me. The lowest resistance setting on it is pretty tough compared to the resistance settings at the gym, and it gives a pretty decent work out. My fiance loves it because he's an insomniac, so we planted it in front of the tv in our living room and he just rides and watches tv until he is ready to go back to sleep.

This product is small enough to sit in my bedroom ,where I ride 5 days aweek, while watching my favorite soap opera.I love the ease of getting on and off, and the wide seat for comfort. You can see the calories burned and the distance of the ride. It was very easy to assemble Very pleased , good product for the money

I love my stamina bike. I recently had back surgery and this bike has helped me do physical therapy at a pace that I can handle. I recommend this bike for anybody who has back pain and is trying to lose weight.

I live in an apartment with paper thin walls and flooring that notes every footstep. So it was important to me to find an exerciser that's relatively small (no big treadmills) and quiet (again, no big treadmills). As much as I wanted a big, fancy treadmill, I figured a bike would better suit my needs. After much investigation I bought this one. I must say, assembly was good (stay focused!) and it's small for a recumbent. But the best possible feature is that it is whisper quiet. We can bike at 1:00 a.m. without even stirring our neighbors. If you're on a budget, in a tight space, with little privacy this is the bike for you.

This bike is everything I was looking for in a Stationary bike. I like that it tells you heartrate, how far you have went, and the calorie burner.
I am very satisfied, and would very much so, recommend to anyone interested in purchasing a bike.
I also think that is was a fair price too.

After putting this whole thing together, I got on the bike and could not even move the pedals. There was an awful grinding sound coming from the front of the bike. We called the company who suggested we take apart the front of the bike to see what was wrong, which we did not want to do. So, we returned the bike and Wal Mart graciously refunded our money. Very disappointing experience. My suggestion to buyers: try moving the pedals before you take the time to put the whole thing together.

My Girlfriend and I both have bad backs, so we were going to get regular bicycles and "tough it out" in order to get in shape. When we saw this we changed our minds bought it and after putting it together(very easy to follow diagrams) we started using it and it is just fantastic! It reclines so our backs don't hurt and it gives a really good workout. The only problem is the display doesn't shut off right away and we end up replacing batteries every week. Also the battery compartment is no easy to get to without unscrewing the monitoring module from the bike. But overall well worth the money spent.

As someone who has disabilities, I found this product to be easy to use and yet it challenges me enough that I have found improvement in my mobility and shape of my lower body.
I would recommend this product to anyone who needs to get their legs moving!
