Reviews

Sometimes people prefer to sit for their cardio needs rather than running or jogging, but because they may already do enough sitting in their daily life, they prefer a comfortable upright position that helps to strengthen the lower back.

The Spirit CU800 Upright Bike was designed with a few key elements in mind, namely durability, convenience, and dependability. However, Spirit also understands that lower back problems are extremely common.

From its oversized two degree inversion pedals to the adjustable high density gel seat with easy-ratchet controls, everything about the Spirit CU800 Upright Bike promotes proper ergonomic posture.

Kinetic Energy

Some Fitness companies talk about the weight of their flywheel as though it were the most important part of the fitness bike. But a heavy flywheel can actually make it more difficult to use due to higher pedaling resistance at the lowest levels. Instead, we focus on the kinetic energy at the pedal. Taking into account the optimal flywheel weight, pulley diameters, belt length, and belt tension, we have developed the perfect formula to assure a smooth start and finish during each pedal motion. Your client will enjoy the easy start load and smooth pedaling motion throughout their workout.

The Commercial Setting

The best thing about the CR800 bike from a commercial gym’s perspective, other than the fact that it always delivers results that gym-goers are after, is that the console is the exact same on the Spirit upright bike and elliptical trainer models. This means that users can switch their workouts up without having to move from one system to another. Spirit is a brand they trust.

As exercise science develops and evolves, and the fitness industry is affected by social and economic change, gym-behavior is diversifying. It’s far more common to see people do 20 minutes on the treadmill, go do some circuit training, and then cool-off with ten to fifteen minutes on an upright bike, elliptical, or the comfortable recumbent bikes.

With Spirit, the consoles all match up, and behave the same, so it makes thing so much easier for members to keep track of their overall workouts.

Other Great Features Users Love

The Spirit CU800 Upright Bike comes with really nice handle bars, equipped with pulse sensors, which allow for three different positions. However, because of where they’re placed, nothing is in the way if users want to incorporate some light dumbbell work into their pedaling exercise to further stimulate the upper body.
It’s a self-generating machine which meals that whether in the residential or commercial setting the energy bill won’t be going up. This is done through a 30 lb flywheel, a poly v-belt, and inertia. Seconds after one begins to pedal, power engages, the tri-color LED console screen lights up, and its ready to go.
Like all Spirit cardio products, whether they be bikes, treadmills, or elliptical, the Spirit CU800 Upright Bike allows for precise heart rate tracking. There are both contact and telemetry options available at all times to keep the heart well monitored so that workout data is constant updated.

Workout Variability with the CU800

At times people assume that bikes, whether relaxed or upright, aren’t as effective as treadmills, stair climbers, rowers, and ellipticals. This simply isn’t true, as the CU800 comes with forty levels of resistance, six pre-set programs, and two heart rate specific options as well.

Even a well conditioned athlete could challenge themselves on this upright bike, and see what it’s like to train for professional biking competitions like the Tour de France. There is one reason why bicyclists prefer to keep pedaling rather than running or jogging around the track. It’s effective, and efficient.

One could jump into hill or interval mode where parameters are constantly changing, or stick with a fat loss program and settle-in listening to their favorite tunes. The Spirit CU800 Upright Bike also comes with tons of storage space for sports bottles, and there’s a spot for the workout towel as well.

What Customers Have Said

“Once I knew I was going to get a cardio machine for my humble home gym, it took me a while to figure out which style to go with. Ultimately for me it was about size, so I chose the CU800 upright bike. With the transport wheels it’s easy to move around, and it takes up barely any room at all.

“I get an incredible workout in twenty minutes in the morning and evening and don’t have to worry about plugs, maintenance, or even boredom. I love my trusty CU800 upright bike!”

Indoor exercise bikes have been around for many decades. Their appeal and effectiveness have stood the test of time. Comfort, convenience, familiarity, enjoyment, and medical conditions are a few reasons this modality appeals to a large segment of the population.

The entire C series expounds on two of these critical areas – comfort and convenience. We know that if your users don’t enjoy the experience that our products create, they won’t feel compelled to make using them a part of their lifestyle.

Features

Console Feedback
The bright LED screen displays all pertinent information is displayed during the workout and a summary of accumulated data scrolls when you have finished.

Cooling Fan
Cooling fans are standard on all of our fitness bikes. This may just be the reason you extend your workout by a few minutes.

Heart Rate % Profile
Heart Rate training is proven to be one of the best ways to measure your workout. Our Heart Rate % Profile gives you a quick reference of your % compared to maximum projected heart rate. The LED lights up in Amber for 50-60%, Green for 65% to 80%, and Red for 85%+.

Comfort
The dual-spring seat is made of high durometer foam; the pedals are also padded for less stress on your feet.

Adjustability
A vertical ratcheting, pop pin engaged seat post and micro adjustments of the seat in the fore/aft direction

Foot Pedals
Our pedals have 2⁰ of inversion that help place your body into an anatomically correct position throughout the workout. They are also padded to take stress off of the feet.

Transportation
There are transport wheels integrated into the front floor support tube for ease of repositioning. Simply lift and tilt the front end to roll the unit to your desired location.

Programs

Hill: This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual progression from approximately 10% of maximum effort (the level that you chose before starting this program) up to a maximum effort which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a gradual regression of resistance back to approximately 10% of maximum effort.

Fat Burn: This program follows a quick progression up to the maximum resistance level (default or user input level) that is sustained for 2/3 of the workout. This program will challenge your ability to sustain your energy output for an extended period of time.

Cardio: This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance level (default or user input level). It has slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool down. This will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.

Strength: This program has a gradual progression of resistance up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained for 25% of workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the lower body and glutes. A brief cool down follows.

Interval: This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity. This program utilizes and develops your “Fast Twitch” muscle fibers which are used when performing tasks that are intense and short in duration. These deplete your oxygen level and spike your heart rate, followed by periods of recovery and heart rate drop to replenish oxygen. Your cardiovascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more efficiently.

Custom: An individual can store personal information and design a custom program that can be saved for future use. You decide what the resistance will be for each segment of the program.

Fit Test (YMCA Protocol): The fitness test is based on a sub-maximal Vo2 (volume of oxygen) test. The program will gradually increase resistance until the time expires or you reach 85% of projected heart rate maximum (calculated when entering age in the programming portion). Based on where the test finishes, your score will be calculated and can be compared to others in your age group to determine your cardiovascular level of health.

Manual: The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the workload and not the computer.

Heart Rate (2x): Designed to help keep you within 3-5 heart beats of your target heart rate % by automatically increasing or decreasing the resistance level. Heart Rate 1 has a 60% (better for a fat loss goal) of projected heart rate maximum default. Heart Rate 2 has an 80% (better for a cardiovascular conditioning goal) of projected heart rate maximum default.
