As the pandemic continued to affect access to gyms and recreation centers this year, many chose to upgrade their home workout setups. Investing in home workout setups can look like buying new adjustable dumbbells and exercise mats or investing in new machines like exercise bikes.
Though there were only a few notable exercise bike releases this year, shoppers were still able to take advantage of those they did come across. This year, MYX launched the MYX II and MYX II Plus bikes, both of which are able to access fitness classes, workout programs and personal training through Beachbody on Demand and Openfit. The new MYX bikes can also pair with your Apple Watch to track your workouts. Readers were able to take advantage of deals as well: On Black Friday, the NordicTrack S22i Commercial Studio Cycle bike dropped to its lowest price ever, and the brand also released a new fitness mirror for pre-order.
