MYX Fitness Bike Review || Best Cost VS Features Option || MYX Spin Bike

[@kmatingou]

I'm comparing connected bikes and am having massive anxiety about choosing because it is an expensive purchase. I'm watching all of your video reviews. Very helpful, thank you!

[@Learnwithtravis]

Glad to hear and thank you so much Karen! One thing that may help. Don't stress about trying to find the best bike overall. Try to figure out which bike has the features that most relate to you. They are all good bikes and you will likely be happy. But what is really important is to enjoy the feature of the bike you choose so you want to keep using it! Good luck!

[@kmatingou]

@@Learnwithtravis trying not to stress but now I’m second guessing whether I need a monitor at all or if I can simply use my iPad. Ugh.

[@aWatchmanOnTheWall]

What did you end up buying? I do want the monitor..but I want to be able to use apps like KZbin, Netflix. Was thinking the myxfitness bike, but doesn’t look like you can use it like I want.

Thank you so much and great to hear it was helpful!

[@plasticdez12940]

Great reviews. Please keep them coming. As a heavy person getting back in shape, one of the considerations when looking at bikes is their rider weight limit. For example, the MYX weight limit is 350 pounds, the Stryde is 350 pounds, the Schwinn IC4 and Bowflex C6 are both 330 pounds (being essentially the same bike), and Peleton is 297 pounds. You may want to consider adding this piece of information into your reviews.

[@Learnwithtravis]

Will do and thank you Eric. Going point on that information!

[@ronron3847]

Great review as usual. I looked at the MYX bike but did not want to spend the money. My major requirements for a bike are a smooth ride, good range of resistance and the ability to do choreography during my ride. I've been riding for about 16 years and until my membership at a big nationally known gym, all the bikes I rode didn't have magnetic resistance or monitors that displayed cadence. So I'm used to watching the instructor's pedaling and matching the cadence. I'm also comfortable with gauging resistance by watching the instructor. I'm going to adjust and make sure I get a great workout whether I can match the instructor or not. So I am really happy with the Sunny 1805. I got it on sale for $465. It arrived in less than a week and I love it. I've been using the Peloton app and some cool instructors on YT. Thanks for the great video. I still like watching your reviews.

[@Learnwithtravis]

Thank you so much Ron Ron! I really appreciate that. That is such a good price for the 1805! That is so awesome you got it at that price and so quickly. My comments are flooded with comments of people having to wait months and with all the bikes I order, I know that is true as many took multiple months. You hit the jackpot! So happy you are loving it too! Have a good one!

My pleasure! Hope you love it!

[@jamiemacdonald6899]

I've been ploughing through your video back catalogue studiously over the past few days. I have to say your content is fantastic and has been such a great help, IMO the best out there. Here in the UK the MYX Fitness isn't available or at least I can't find it or I would have went for it. You had me so close to pulling the trigger on the Peloton that I had one in my basket ready to go, that said your reviews of other comparable bikes and your honesty with what bang you get for your buck made me reconsider. I'm not a huge metrics guy and with the release of Apple Fitness + I didn't feel that it's a great time to be tying myself to one content provider. In the end I opted for the Echelon EX3 Max which I will use with the Echelon app for metrics and run my sessions from Peloton's digital app. I get my bike tomorrow and look forward to working towards those aims. Huge thanks for the clarity you brought to my decision making, hopefully I've opted for the best set up that works for me. 🤞🏻

[@Learnwithtravis]

Thank you so much Jamie! Comments like this help keep me motivated to keep making more videos! It sounds like you did your homework and used fantastic logic to figure out which option would be best for you. I think you will be happy with your bike and also enjoy the flexibility to use different content solutions with it. Hope the delivery goes well and you love it! Thank you again!

[@wyndolynalexander6539]

Excellent review. I had purchase this bike already with little hesitation thinking I would return it once it arrived. Your review really remove all the doubt with the detail. I am glad I made this selection instead of Stryde bike.

[@Learnwithtravis]

Thank you so much Wyndolyn and so happy the review helped you to feel better about your purchase! Hope you love it. I loved the variety of content with the MYX (Which has improved since video) and the Zen\Chill vibe of the studio rides. Have a great one!

[@Learnwithtravis]

Welcome to the channel and thank you so much for the kind comment! Glad to hear the video was beneficial. Have a great one!

[@bobkelder7810]

Your review is really great! One thing I would add that I think is very important is that there are connectivity issues that a lot of people have - ourselves included. Which really stinks because we enjoy the workouts (we have the app on our phone), but we're unable to use the monitor because the video keeps freezing and it tells us to check our WiFi connection (which we've checked multiple times and tried many different things and it says the connection is excellent). After reading many many reviews, lots of others have the same problem. Customer service is tedious (I waited on phone for over an hour and still no one answered). We've emailed for 2 weeks with no resolution. Good bike IF you can get it work........and that seems to be a very big IF.

[@Learnwithtravis]

Thank you Bob and thank you for sharing that. I did not run into that problem at all. I know on the Peloton people have this problem and they get WIFI extenders to help make the WIFI stronger near the bike. Either way, appreciate the info and I will keep an ear open for other people running into it.

[@jmobrien7256]

Great review but I think you missed an important part and that's the heart rate zones as workout indicator and motivator. This helps overcome the lack of cadence and resistance numbers.

[@Learnwithtravis]

Dang. Thought I covered that. You are right. They focus on other data points and I like it. I will try to make sure this is referenced in future videos that I cover the MYX.

[@DaisyXTC]

Thank you for the review. My experience with MYX has not been good. After much drama with the shipping company, XPO, my bike arrived this morning. The setup was lousy with one bent adjustment bolt and several nuts so loose that I hand tightened them before needing a wrench. I am not sure what else I will find. I found your review as I am searching for videos about setting up the bike. There is no live support from MYX. Very frustrating. You can see that MYX got cheaper than its competitors by cutting out customer service. Yikes! I doubt that I will be keeping my bike.

[@Learnwithtravis]

Darn. Sorry to hear that Eric. Unfortunately, I see this too much for a lot of companies. What would be a good experience is ruined by XPO issues. MYX still decided to use them so it is on them, but this seems to happen too often. Hope things work out but don't like to hear that.

[@reckonre]

I just got my Myx plus bike and I feel like they watched your review lol because they have added some things to the Myx plus. I chose it more because it accommodates taller and heavier people than the peloton, by a lot. I probably would have been okay on the peloton but I didn't want to risk it, especially for $1000 more and $10 more per month

[@Learnwithtravis]

Hahaha! I have been curious before if any companies listen to my critiques and maybe used the suggestions! Hope you love the bike and it works out great!

[@CSMtnBabe]

My biggest question is - is it FUN? Are the workouts fun, engaging and something I'd look forward to? I see lots of reviews about the quality of the bike, resistance technology, growing library of classes. BUT - are the instructors entertaining? Fun? This is the biggest thing I hear about the variety of Peloton's library - the fun factor and amazing playlists. I'm hoping the MYX delivers on the fun and engaging factor. I just ordered it a week ago and am wondering about this aspect of it since I don't see it mentioned in most reviews. Enjoyed your review otherwise and it was really helpful and informative in my buying decision for MYX.

[@Learnwithtravis]

This is a little tricky to answer because it depends on what type of instructors you enjoy. Some platforms are club-like, high intensity, chill, build a connection with the instructor, and all sorts of other types. Peloton by all means offers the best variety because they have so many instructors with different personality and styles. For MYX I would describe the atmosphere\instructor as clean, well lit, Zen or Spa, and chill vibe. Personally, I thought they did a very good job and I enjoyed that style a lot. But if you want flashing lights or scream at you type instructors, this might not be the best for you. Hope that helps!

[@CSMtnBabe]

@@Learnwithtravis thank you. I can do without club thumping yelling. Really what I am after though is fun and engaging. Don't want to be bored or lackluster. Sounds like their classes will be good based on your input which is very helpful to me. Did you see today's New York Times article slamming Peloton!?!?!

[@Learnwithtravis]

Glad that helps! I so think they are working to get better as well. Just read that article and Peloton is not the only one. Home gym has exploded but COVID-19 has complicated everything (staffing, supply chain, support, delivery, and more) so does not surprise me at all that they are struggling.

[@alexortega1397]

Good video that was a big reason I think Magnetic is so much better in the long run speed and cadence are very important to get a better ride. Good job

Thanks Felix! Yeah, it is all about finding the bike with the right options for you. The 1805 is a great bike at a really good price point. I do think the MYX is a nicer bike and resistance is better too, but the 1805 give you the flexibility to use it exactly how you want to!

[@irenafacelli2882]

Travis - great video. I think MYX will be quite pleased with your recommendation. How was the seat comfort compared to the other bikes? I ordered this MYX bike last May and cancelled when it missed by the shipping date by well over a month (September) . I decided instead to go with NordicTrack S15i - primarily for the iFit experience and visual outdoor bike rides - and believe it was a better decision for me at the same price point...just with a slightly smaller screen. But I did have a broken motor and console with my NordicTrack bike - which were eventually replaced for free. I also purchased a better seat. As a bonus, the NordicTrack bike has an awesome fan and an incline and decline mechanism which makes this bike more versatile for me and fun to use. That being said, I do hope MYX does well once they work out their distribution issues. They have wonderful customer service. But their 'zen-like' classes might bore me very quickly.

[@Learnwithtravis]

Glad you were able to get the NordicTrack issues straightened out and are enjoying the bike! I actually think the seat quality is pretty good! I never felt uncomfortable and would place near the top end of stock seats for these bikes. The NordicTrack does have some fun features and I can understand why you like it!

[@loganebeling9023]

I don’t think I could get over not having the cadence and resistance monitors. I’d always wonder if I should be working harder!

Can you other fitness apps with this bike like the stryde or are you tired into having to use their subscription

[@Learnwithtravis]

No, with this one you need to stay within the MYX platform.

[@ikuznits]

Have you reviewed the Proform Pro Studio and the Proform Studio Pro 22? It seems they are owned by the same company that makes NordicTrack. The Proform Studio Bike Pro has a 10 inch tablet built in, and is "free" with a 3-year iFit membership. The Proform Studio Pro 22, looks to be almost the same as the Proform Studio, but with a 22 inch inch monitor and is slightly more expensive. I have been using a Sunny bike (1805) with a Peloton app, but will probably send it back because it's likely defective and making too much noise "going out of the saddle." I had to buy a separate cadence sensor, which was fine, but I realize now that I want a bike that keeps track of my actual resistance and output instead of just going by feel.

[@Learnwithtravis]

The 22 was delivered yesterday! I have a few other videos to get to first, but it will be happening! Hope the video helps you out!

[@vidasteele9624]

I'm 64 and seriously thinking about purchasing this bike; however, I was wondering can you go to youtube or websites on the monitor? I enjoy looking at other things while exercising.

[@bmp713]

Do you think the resistance is strong enough to get anyone completely out of breath and over 160 heart rate? How would you compare the max resistance to the Keiser M3i and Echelon 4S or highers? Resistance is the most important for me. I need a quality bike that has very high resistance to leave room for progress.

[@Learnwithtravis]

Maybe, maybe not. I would stay away from this one. It is friction resistance instead of magnetic. So while you could really clamp it down and make it hard, it becomes much less fluid than others. Probably not the best fit for what you are trying to achieve.

[@bmp713]

@@Learnwithtravis Thank you so much for your responses. High resistance is by far the most important factor for me. I am so nervous about spending a lot on a bike and then finding out the resistance is not nearly enough and is basically useless being 6'2" 220, with many not being returnable. Could you please rank the bikes you would say have comparable high resistance to the Peloton?

[@Learnwithtravis]

Peloton bike plus and newer NordicTrack are both very good. Stryde is a small step back but still good. Velocore is right in the conversation. Free beat is in there as well. I would need to jump on it again to verify but I think it competes with those very well. After that, most I tested would probably not match what you want Sunny, IC4, C6, MYX, Renpho.

[@Learnwithtravis]

Oh, and no problem. Hopefully the videos and responses help out!

[@bmp713]

@@Learnwithtravis Thank you. I wish I could pay to talk with you about this since it is very important for my health condition I find a high quality bike with more than enough resistance. I can't really afford any of the best ones you mentioned unless certain it will be really close to the Peloton or Keiser M3i's resistance. I would buy the Peloton were the expensive app not required to track metrics. Which of the less expensive bikes do you think compare with the Peloton's high resistance? How about any of the Echelons like the 4S?

[@bannanna111]

Is there a way to access a web browser with the screen? Love the price point of the bike and could live without the cadence and resistance, but I don't love the look of the classes. I definitely prefer the dark studio feel to keep me motivated. Wondering if you could use a web browser to access the Peloton site.

[@Learnwithtravis]

I don't believe so but will take a look next time I power it up. I am working on my Stryde video right now, but that sounds like a much better match for you. (Video should be out in a day or two so watch that to get more info) The Stryde content is more of that dark studio \ club like feel you described. The web browser is also open so you could potentially stream Peloton if you wanted to.

[@bannanna111]

@@Learnwithtravis thanks! I've been looking at Stryde. Apparently you can download the Peloton app onto the screen and use a picture-in-picture type function to see your stats. Since Peloton lowered their prices, it's just now not that much cheaper than Peloton....though I wouldn't have to pay the fee.....decisions.

Sorry for the delay. Had to power it up and test. It is a decent sound. Not earth shattering and like a stereo system but for small speakers it can get decently loud. They do have controls to turn up or down instructor vs music so that control is nice. They also have the option for connecting Bluetooth speakers if that would help.

Thanks Eric and glad you are enjoying the C6! You are actually correct on what the plan originally was. The plan was to purchase, review, and sell hoping not to lose too much money. Then I broke my foot right after I order a ton of bikes and they stock piled. Because some of the bikes are common ones that people get confused over which one is best for them, I decided to temporarily keep them all for some comparison videos and I also want to do a overall video with all of them.

Good review..Question, are you able to download other fitness apps like iFit or Peloton app

[@Learnwithtravis]

Thank you Elaine! No, with that bike you are locked into the user interface they provide. My favorite load your own apps options is this one - kzbin.info/www/bejne/enqxkIqNeNJ5eas

[@inigma161]

Hey Travis! Love your reviews! Question for you! I’ve ordered the Peloton + after watching a ton of your reviews, but it’s not going to be here till April 19th 😓. Do you think it’s worth the wait! In your opinion of course.

[@Learnwithtravis]

Thanks Christopher! I actually think most of the bikes I have reviewed are very good bikes. My opinion is it comes down to finding the bike that has the features that best match your exercise personality. That being said, the Bike+ is one of the best out there as far as overall build quality, bike features, UI\Content features, content quality, and end to end product. After all those videos, if the Bike+ is the one that talked to you.... it is worth the wait. A very very good bike. Hope that helps!

[@MrKeithcl]

do you know if the tablet is unlocked so you could watch netflix or youtube?

[@Learnwithtravis]

No, it is not unlocked. Sorry

[@adriannagarchar]

Is there an option to do an “open ride” or Quick Start type of option or is it just classes?

[@Learnwithtravis]

So sorry for the delay, I had to power up and test that (I have a lot of bikes from the reviews). Most bikes do have a ride only mode and that is so they can display stats but nothing else. As this bike does not show resistance or cadence, there would be nothing to show in a "ride only" mode. So really, if you want to "just ride", you can hop on and do it. You don't need to select a screen for that. I did look though, and could not find one. They also just introduced scenic and other informational type rides, so you can put that on if you want instructor free workouts. Hope that helps!

[@Jetfumes]

They need a magnetic resistance , Love my Nordic track just bought

[@Learnwithtravis]

Glad to hear you are enjoying your bike!

[@aWatchmanOnTheWall]

Can I use KZbin and or Netflix? Don’t care for the coaching stuff. Can I watch and use scenic routes without paying for subscription

[@Learnwithtravis]

I heard they are working towards making features like this available but I don't think it is yet. This one might be worth checking out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enqxkIqNeNJ5eas

[@aWatchmanOnTheWall]

@@Learnwithtravis ok thanks. I heard the Nordic S22i you can use KZbin and Netflix and even have your PC on the screen. Some guy working at a shop I stopped in today told me that, he said a IT Guy did something to his and in a few minutes he could do all that. I really like the myxbike..but really want the option to KZbin, Netflix and and do scenic routes and stuff like timed laps for free without the $30 per month coaching. Thanks for your reply and I’ll check out the review you posted on the spyder and Nordic

[@maggiekeller92]

These videos have been super helpful, I'm so glad I found them! Thank you for doing this. One question: I thought I read somewhere that the MYX also does not show speed and distance, is that right? I might be able to live without cadence and resistance but I really want to see speed and distance. I think most bikes have that, or am I mistaken? Thank you again!

[@Learnwithtravis]

So glad to hear the videos are helping you out! Thanks Maggie! You are correct that they do not provide speed and distance. With MYX they make it less about reaching certain milestones and more about the exercise. Meaning they focus more on helping you get the most out of the exercise and paying attention to heart rate data. Like I say in my videos, when it comes to these bikes, it is most important to find the one that best matches to you and what will keep you coming back. Hope that helps!

[@maggiekeller92]

@@Learnwithtravis Thank you so much for getting back to me, Travis! I've been reading and watching everything I can find in making this decision but I have to say that I'm scared to pull the trigger on any of them based on the amount of negative reviews of customer service for all of these brands right now. It seems that the demand is having a huge impact not only on delivery times but also on how customer service is handling questions, complaints and problems. Honestly it's scaring me. Wondering if others in your audience have particular experience with any of these companies.

[@Learnwithtravis]

No problem Maggie! Completely valid feeling you are having. I learn a lot of from the comments people leave on my videos. I can tell you that you are right and basically every single company is struggling to deliver their product and getting a lot of complaints about shipment delays, installation issues, and support difficulties due to demand. But outside of the demand pinch that companies are in and the impact that has caused, complaints for most companies are pretty minimal. The exception being NordicTrack. From what I have seen, as long as you understand their may be a wait to get your product... once people get it they have been very happy. As your comment is on the MYX video, I will say I had to reach out to their support and I got to them quickly and they were very easy to work with. It is difficult times for a lot of these companies because of demand, staffing problems due to Covid, and supply chain issues... but most of them are still the same quality company they were before. Just challenged a little. Hope that helps and you are able to figure out the best option for you!

[@maggiekeller92]

@@Learnwithtravis Again I so appreciate your thoughtful response. Your videos have been so helpful, keep up the great work and thank you for doing all this testing and work in order to help all of us out here!

[@MissKitty04]

I’m really interested in knowing if you can also watch KZbin while biking. Is that a possibility

[@Learnwithtravis]

Not as of the last time I used it, but I heard they are looking to make content providers available in their UI. As soon as that is introduced, I will try to get a new video out!

[@plbr1611]

Can I use peloton app with this bycle

[@Learnwithtravis]

Think of the Peloton App as a content provider, like KZbin. They have many instructor led courses you can follow along with and really can use any indoor cycling bike to ride along with. You could purchase a cadence and heart rate monitor to add functionality and pair to the Peloton App. But yes, you could use Peloton with it.

[@gabyfireman1491]

Thank you. Very lucid.

[@Learnwithtravis]

You're welcome! Thanks Gaby!

[@erictourbin]

Thanks for doing these! I've been most interested in the Stryde bike because of seemingly all the features of peloton without being locked into just their program at the higher monthly rate. Can you tell me when you are doing that particular review?

[@Learnwithtravis]

No problem at all! Honestly, I am not 100 percent sure yet. I have at least a couple other videos before the Stryde. I also have some bikes on the way that if they come in will go to the front of the list. I am hoping to get to the Stryde sooner than later though.

[@ryant75]

Can this stream KZbin?

[@Learnwithtravis]

Not as designed (as of my last use)

[@ryant75]

@@Learnwithtravis Thank you. I ask because I like to ride with GCN. I was wondering if I could mirror a spin class onto the monitor but nothing confirmed 😐

[@Learnwithtravis]

Makes sense. Check out the Stryde bike.

[@kdavidwhite8376]

can you add a cadence sensor and pair with this bike or the app/screen? I have a cheap but solid spin bike and added a cadence sensor and an iPad mount and I use the Peleton app. Eventually, my bike will probably wear out or I might want to upgrade. I really like knowing the cadence at least. my Apple Watch gives me the heart rate information

[@Learnwithtravis]

You could add a cadence sensor and display it on your phone or a tablet, but that is not part of the MYX right now. Hopefully they add that over time, but no, I don't think there is a way directly into the MYX tablet.

[@androidfarmer8863]

Good review... but.... No cadence & resistance... no sale. Cannot imagine why they’d leave out such important metrics. Add in the lack of magnetic resistance and what seems to be very limited connectivity to other apps such as Zwift.... pass.

[@Learnwithtravis]

Not for everyone but could be a great fit for some. Good luck finding what you are looking for.

[@lindseyward6653]

do you think this is a good starter bike?

[@Learnwithtravis]

Absolutely. There are a lot of bikes that could be great starter bikes and a lot depends on how you want to use it and what you want to get out of it. This one is comparable to a Peloton Bike + in that it has studio & scenic rides but also has the monitor that rotates for off bike workouts. You get a lot of those high end features and variety without the Peloton price tag. Like mentioned, you lose a few things but for the costs savings versus what you get, I think this is a great option.

[@VicM623]

Monthly subscription required for the content?

[@Learnwithtravis]

Yeah, 29 dollars a month as of right now. I don' think you will get away from that with any of these. It costs too much to produce content and make it available to do it for free, but it is a better monthly cost than a lot of them at 39.

[@theresapotter4874]

Great video! I was actually considering this bike but there were no reviews at the time, so I ended up going with the IC4. I did hear that rather than focus on cadence they focus on something called the MYX score. How does that work? Do you think it's a accurate way to measure fitness gains?

[@Learnwithtravis]

Hope you are loving the IC4! They have an assessment ride you can do that uses the heart rate monitor to watch rise and recovery of heart rate related to ride changes. They use this to provide a score of overall cardiovascular health. Hard to say how accurate it is but I do imagine it is a good way to see progress and if your overall health is improving.

[@bellaggg3209]

Hi Theresa and Travis! I just got an IC4 as well recently. How do u like it? Do u use it with any different fitness apps? I’m starting to overthink my decision and wondering if I should have gone with the MYX II . I would like to use BODI but wonder if it’s the same using the IC4? Any input u might have. Thank u!!!

[@nharris9078]

I really like the style of this bike but I wish it was unlocked :(

[@Learnwithtravis]

Yeah, most don't do that. Stryde is the go-to in that category.

Oh my god did you forget something? Does it have headphone input? Does it have Bluetooth for my Bluetooth headphones?

[@Learnwithtravis]

Haha, Darn it! Yeah, it has a standard headphone jack and Bluetooth capabilities.

[@pmforhire]

As someone who has been waiting almost 8 weeks and keeps getting changing stories, ineptitude from MYX and their logistics partner XPO, all the stories of shoddy assembly, a mountain of BBB complaints, monitors that don't work and won't connect, I say DON'T, JUST DON'T. Do your diligence! Don't make the same mistake I did. They don't even have a phone number for support! And their 30 day guaranty? Know this - it will cost you $250 to send it back if you don't like it. Buy something else! I repeat - DON'T, JUST DON'T!

[@kojimasan444]

"how they keep the price down"? Peleton uses so much of their budget to make their own ecosystem, hence marketing. You're paying for their marketing mostly

[@ikuznits]

I'm not sure about the other bike companies, but one of Peloton's biggest expenses is paying for music rights.

[@STEPHOCHO]

Delivery terrible , service is terrible . No delivery

[@Learnwithtravis]

Sorry to hear that. Almost all of these companies outsource delivery and have horror stories that go with it.

[@MrKeithcl]

too bad, thanks
