ProForm Studio Bike Pro 22 – Review

While there are several stationary bikes that ProForm has introduced, the most engaging option that the brand has introduced as yet is the Studio Bike Pro 22. It has been designed to compete with some of the top models in the market and it does a decent job.

The Workout Experience

The first thing you will discover about the ProForm Studio Bike Pro 22 is that it is a magnetic resistance bike that boasts a belt drive system. In this setup, there is a 32-pound flywheel included and there are a total of 24 resistance levels that users can explore. This is more than enough for beginners and even for those of a higher fitness level, as they can enjoy some challenging workouts.

Upon using the bike, you will find that it is quiet and smooth in terms of operations. It does not make any such noise and most people are not going to realize you are using it, so you do not need to worry about disturbing anyone. Thanks to the sturdy steel structure of the bike, you will not even feel it vibrating when you increase the resistance rate. The transition between the various resistance levels is also very smooth and there is no jerkiness of any kind, which is another advantage.

Footprint and Durability

The one thing you should bear in mind about the ProForm Studio Bike Pro 22 is that it does have a bit of heft i.e. it is a tad on the heavier side at 142 pounds. Luckily, the front has fairly large diameter wheels that can be used for moving it around at home, so you will not have to face a lot of hassle when you want to change its location.

As far as its dimensions are concerned, the ProForm Studio Bike Pro 22 measures 50.1 inches in length, 21.9 inches in width and is about 54 inches high. It will require some space, but it is not massive. However, the weight capacity disappoints because it is 250 pounds, which is lower than the standard. This means heavier people may not be able to use it.

Ergonomics

The pedals that are included in the ProForm Studio Bike Pro 22 come with toe clips as well as straps that will keep your feet secure. The seat is also very supportive and it has a decent amount of cushioning, so it does not get too uncomfortable even during extended workout sessions. But, if you are not comfortable, you have the option of replacing the seat as well as pedals with other options. The generous size of the handlebars is also appealing and they can be comfortably used in all positions.

Technology and other Features

Perhaps the most prominent feature of the ProForm Studio Bike Pro 22 is the 22-inch HD touchscreen it comes with. The generous size lets you make the most of iFIT workouts. It has a clean and user-friendly interface and it comes with a built-in camera and microphone. It comes with a water bottle holder for convenience and 3-pound dumbbells as well.

Pros

• Massive screen
• iFIT interactive programming

Cons

• Weight capacity is low
• No fan

The Verdict

The ProForm Studio Bike Pro 22 can suit people of all sizes and is designed for intense and frequent workouts.
