Cycling, more prosaically called bike indoors or spinning, est a discipline more and more fashionable because practicable, without danger, by the majority of us. Its virtues are numerous, in particular those of losing weight, de-stressing and strengthening the whole body. Many sports halls offer to indulge in it without reservations.

The exercise consists of gathering around twenty people in a dark room strangely resembling a nightclub and pedaling to the rhythm of frenzied music under the vigilant care of a coach halfway between a travel club host and a sports coach of a national team. Suffice to say that, even well motivated, we will have to hang on. Carried away by his neighbors in the saddle, impossible to fail without losing face. So we do not let go pour 45 minutes of effort. We can, they say, burn up to 600 calories in one session. The temptation to indulge in it est therefore great but also distressing. In this period of Covid, the prospect of finding oneself locked in a room crowded with breathless and sweating athletes est hardly reassuring. In any case, pour the time being, all establishments are closed …

The Technogym company therefore had the good idea to offer its machines, not only to dedicated rooms, but also to individuals. Cycling at home therefore becomes accessible with professional equipment to everyone. And, to avoid any demotivation on the part of its users, the Italian brand has designed its equipment so that you can imagine yourself, through an additional subscription and an internet connection, that you do not are not alone on your bike but at the center of a community, in a cycling room, as in real life. A good incentive not to dismount.

Choose your coach

To achieve this, a 22-inch Full HD touch screen was attached to the handlebars of the Technogym Bike. From it, and through the Mywellness application installed on your smartphone, you will have access to real cycling rooms to train live with a coach, at specific times or deferred with recorded sessions. This will allow you to pedal at the time that suits you.

From a menu, you will choose the coach you like, depending on his style, the language he uses or the training that suits you according to the time you have vendu. The Sélection of music will also be important depending on whether you are more techno than rock pour example.

Once the program has started, all you have to do est follow its course as if you were really in a cycling room, coach in front of you, loud music and your friends all around symbolized by icons and nicknames informing you, in real time, of their performance and rankings compared to yours. The bike will measure the resistance, power and pace of your pedal strokes. It’s up to you to set your goals. The coach gives you the indications to push your efforts: as a dancer, seated, buttocks back, faster, slower… We believe it. Once the session est over, a summary of your performance est displayed, which you will also find saved in your application.

So much pour the bravest. The more cautious, or less adept of extreme sports, may choose, through a different program, to go pour a walk to climb Mount Galibier, pour example, or take a trip to the Grand Canyon. It’s quite fun and more relaxing. We drive gently and we discover landscapes broadcast on the screen. Too bad, however, that the rhythm of the pedal strokes does not correlate with the speed of the image scrolling. If we dismount, the film does not stop. So, no need to dance to erase a pass that you can happily swallow at 30 km / h. Also disappointing, the quality of the images. We would have preferred to be able to fully enjoy the scenery of dreams crossed. It’s a little frustrating.

We would also like, why not, pour the less athletic still, to be able to use the screen to watch TV programs or watch a video. But, we are told, to lose weight and gain muscle, you have to be focused on your goals.

Different ranges of equipment

Anyway, this material est really reassuring. Everything est adjustable, from the saddle height to the handlebars. Not a squeaking at the level of the frame even when it est requested manly and not a noise of pedals. We can do our exercises in the middle of the night if the heart tells us. Equipped with Bluetooth 4.0., It will be possible to connect an audio headset or a heart rate monitor.

If cycling does not hold your favor, Technogym has a whole range of equipment that should satisfy the most demanding: treadmills, multi-function weight stations or staircase simulator. All these products are vendu in several ranges: Forma and Skill pour individuals, Excite and Artis pour professionals. Finally, the Personal range designed by Antonio Citterio, mixing glass, aluminum and micro polished steel, elevates these machines to the rank of decorative accessories. They will not be hidden behind a door but can be admired from your living room to your office.
