"We believe that the Schwinn AC Power Indoor Cycle has the most accurate power measuring strain gauge on the market.

It's popular with riders, due to its ease of set-up and range of user sizes, which means operators are getting a low lifetime-cost product that will delight their customers.

The customisation options now available allow operators to get the bike their customers want – from a brand their customers know and love – but which looks like their own product."

Matt Gleed, Matrix UK Master Trainer
"Before we designed the new cycle we did an in-depth review of the market and found many other bikes had been designed before the rise of boutiques, when people starting approaching it very differently.

Now, people want to train indoors in much the same way that they would outdoors. They're savvier, they want greater insight into their performance and are more aware of important metrics like FTP (Functional Threshold Power).

As a result, Matrix cycles have been designed to accommodate all riders. The new Training Cycles feature two new FTP tests, along with sub-maximal CV tests, so riders can compare their outdoor training with data from the Matrix bikes.

Matrix cycles are designed to be as close to road bikes as possible, helping people to train like athletes."

Matrix's aim is to enable people to train like athletes

Keiser was the first to introduce power, magnetic resistance, a rear flywheel and Bluetooth.

The M3i carries the TUV certification for power production and calibration, making it the perfect bike for power training and functional threshold power testing – users can test on one bike and then train on another M3i bike safe in the knowledge that all bikes are identical."

Richard Baker, Wattbike managing director
"The Wattbike was created in partnership with British Cycling and developed for elite athletes.

It's the first piece of elite equipment made available to the masses, enabling them to train on the exact same equipment as the athletes, rather than a piece of equipment that was simply inspired by elite athletes, but without technical features.

The Wattbike is very versatile and can be used for any need. Whether it’s testing, rehabilitation, HIIT, group exercise or general fitness conditioning.

We build the bikes to be robust, to withstand even the most intense training. And they're self-powered so can be placed anywhere they're needed.

There's evidence to show that having Wattbikes available increases both membership sales and retention."
