Spin bike training is not just the trendy way to exercise, it also has a host of proven health benefits - find out what they are in our blog.

Top 5 Benefits of Spin Bike Training

Give your leg and core muscles a great workout

Designed to work on your leg and core muscles, spin bikes are a great way to tone your lower body.

Reduce stress

It’s no secret that a bit of exercise everyday can help to beat stress. It can also boost your mood to make you feel pumped up for the day or enliven your spirit after a long day in the office. Riding your exercise bike can help lower stress hormones while boosting levels of serotonin which is a hormone that is linked to feelings of well-being and happiness.

Low-impact on joints

Spin bikes have a relatively low impact on your joints, so you can spin to your heart’s content without harming your body. This also makes the spin bike a suitable choice for people with arthritis or joint-related problems. In fact, cycling is known to improve joint mobility!

Authentic feel

If you’re a cycling fanatic and love the feel of riding on the road, you may worry that a spin bike just won’t provide that same smooth, gliding feeling. However, with modern gym technology, spin bikes are becoming more and more authentic in how they ride. With smooth motion and an advanced resistance system, we recommend models such as the Spinner L1 Home Spin Bike for an enhanced experience.

Improve your overall cardiovascular health

Not just for warm ups and burning fat, the spin bike can also improve your overall cardiovascular health. Most models are compatible with devices that can track your performance and key fitness metrics, meaning you can easily stay on top of your exercise goals. Get your heart pumping, track your performance and have fun - all in the comfort of your home.


Exercise bikes are suitable for novices right up to elite athletes. For the uninitiated it may take a few attempts to find your rhythm, but once you’re comfortable and confident with using your new spin bike you can enjoy regular sessions without leaving your home - perfect for those rainy days when you just can’t face hitting the gym or braving the road.
