BH Fitness ZTX EMS TV Upright Cycle

Advantages: great excercise
Disadvantages: uncomfortable seat

...This excersise bike is great for the price, it has a sensor in the hand grip that monitors your pulse wholst you are on the bike, has a screen which is quite big so very clear to see that you can check what your pulse is, how far you have cycled, calories burned and how long you have been on the bike. There is a black dial further down from the handle bars that allows you to change the resistance at the same time as riding the bike so you can make it harder or softer as you need to, it is a very sturdy bike but the seat isnt very comfortable at all which is a real shame as other than this it is a great bike, it doesnt fold away for storage so you will need space to store it when not in use....

Advantages: Can be as good as a Weights-Gym/Multi-Gym for building/training Upper Body and Mid-Section
Disadvantages: Not as effective for Lower Body as it is for Upper Body, Not that easy to 'Fold-Away' every time you use it

I saw the infomercial on TV and thought that it seemed like a well-presented and logically/obviously effective apparatus for training certain muscle groups - and given my gym background - watching Chuck Norris going through some very similar exercises to those I had done at the gym .... figured I could do a lot worse than invest in such an apparatus. So I parted with about £160 and approx £10 for carriage and reasoned that since I no longer was paying £40 a month for gym membership it might even pay for itself, given time!!! WHAT THEN HAPPENED ... Well, with work being as tough as it was up until the first quarter of 2004, I didn't use it that much so I cannot really give any testament at that point. But in mid-2004, as things... Read review

..., you keep clear of them for some time after! General gym: There are 8 TV screens in the front of the main area, showing the main channels and a few sky ones). Water is freely available from the taps. A stretching area is available to stretch out. A couple of side rooms are available with few extra odds and ends in. Some have 'space hopper' type balls in, but without the horns. Earphones: To listen to a particular channel on the TV or radio, you'll need some sort of earphones with a jack plug. Most running/cycling machines have a unit on them to select the channel & volume otherwise music of some sort is always playing throughout the gym. The gym also has a sun bed so you can keep your tan topped up. This is an extra charge with variable fees. Sauna: Both changing rooms have an entrance that will take you into the sauna area. There you... Read review
