The core

Spoilt for choice with programmes
The 225CSX comes with 20 programmes which can be versatile and ensure that you are pushing yourself to your next fitness target.

Of course, there is always another option of more programmes and that is to purchase an iFit subscription which gives users instant access to hundreds of workouts online. This model has the latest iFit Bluetooth Smart (BLE) enabled technology.
However, there is also an impressive Custom Performance Center built into the 225CSX which will track your performance over time and ensure that you are on route to reaching your next fitness goal.
Turn up the heat with variable resistance levels

Ahhh… so comfortable. Wait, am I exercising?
It’s hard to believe that an exercise bike can but this comfortable but with oversized pedals and adjustable padded saddle you can eliminate lower back pressure and find your ideal posture.
Your stats are shown on an easy-reach round watt LED display, and heart rate measurements are taken from the front dual EKG pulse grips.
