Golds Gym Power Spin 230R Reviews

     This is a great exercise bike, at a great price, I bought it at Walmart for $199.  It has 8 setting for different types of work outs.  I can make the resistance easier or harder up to 10 resistance settings, it also monitors my heart rate, calories, distance & time.    

     It has a place for me to plug in my MP3 player, there are speakers built into the monitor, a drink holder, a fan and the main reason I bought this bike, it has a nice big comfortable high back.  

     Even after having back surgery I still suffer with major back pain. So, I have to adjust...

For those having problems with batteries - here's the adapter information (so you don't have to buy it from the manufacturer for about $80):

AC-to-DC power adapter; 6V, 800mA; Radio Shack: 273-1766

Adaptaplug "M" at Radio Shack; 5.5mm O.D.; 2.1mm I.D.; Radio Shack: 273-171

It cost me about $24 for this and it's well worth it! Love the bike!

The Golds Gym Power Spin is something I use everytime to  my community gym.  I love this exercise machine as far as stationary bikes go it is definitely one of the most comfortable they have offered.  I have incorporated it into my daily workout routine. I can easily maintain my legs in shape with the power spin.

A great bike, but the batteries don't last long if you run the fan, or plug in an MP3 player. The battery compartment is located on the bottom, and is flimsy. It should have come with a power adapter ($73.88 plus shipping of $18.97 from GOLDS GYM). The four small screws that hold the plastic console (were you hold to get a pulse reading) to the metal frame are sure to break with much use, so be careful not to move it to much while holding the handles. The seat is a bit uncomfortable after a while and very straight, a perfect 90.

 These are just the things I don't like about the Golds Gym Power...

Well, I bought this for my girlfriend and we split. she gave it back to me - said she did not want anything to remind her of me. like she said she would excercise and get in shape and never did. so i left.

the bike is useless for me because it is suitable for kids and small adults only.

i got $25 for it - basically as good as brand new.

think twice before you by any home equipment. i have seen a trend with friends they buy but never use.
