Whether you’re looking to do heart-pumping cardio or stretch your legs between Zoom calls, an exercise bike could be the perfect piece of equipment for you. Both recumbent and upright bikes can help to build muscle strength, maintain heart health and improve joint mobility without the strain that can come with other workouts (like jogging, for example).[1]
The good news? You don’t need to shell out thousands for a Peloton to get in a good sweat. If you’re ready to make your home gym—or home office—feel like a private spin studio, but you don’t want to spend a ton of money, look to this list to find the best exercise bike to fit your budget, space and fitness goals.
(Keep in mind that most exercise bikes require one or two hours of assembly. You can purchase a home installation service from Walmart if you’d rather leave the work to the pros.)

For light workouts only
Recumbent models allow you to sit as though in a chair and put less strain on your joints. You’ll primarily work your lower body. They’re an ideal form for the elderly or anyone with injuries. (Always check with your doctor before starting any new exercise program.)
Indoor bikes, also referred to as spin bikes, most closely mimic the experience of riding a road bike. They’re made for fast pedaling, burning calories and getting in a decent sweat. They’re also famous for having uncomfortable seats (called saddles).
Upright exercise bikes ensure that you sit up in the seat or lean forward like you would on an outdoor bike. Riding is a full-body workout that is more difficult and harder on the back than riding a recumbent bike. They’re often foldable.
With a comfortable, ventilated seat and relaxed riding position thanks to its recumbent style, the Schwinn 270 is a great bike for seniors and people rehabbing injuries. It comes with 29 workout programs, plus 25 different resistance settings for a wide range of intensities.
A Walmart exclusive and one of the top-selling bikes at Walmart Canada, this spin bike offers a prime indoor cycling experience. It’s built with durable materials, has 32 levels of silent magnetic resistance and offers a smooth ride. When paired with the Echelon United app (90-day membership included), this model allows you to train like you have a spin instructor on call.
If you’re looking for a no-frills stationary bike that won’t take up a ton of space, look no further than the Sunny Health & Fitness SF-B1203. Built in a spin-bike style, which means it has a harder seat and is meant for shorter, faster rides, this model is easy to set up and use—no tech skills required.
Perfect for avid cyclists or spin-class afficionados looking to get in a sweat from the comfort of home, the Sunny Health & Fitness SF-B1002 is an ultra-sturdy spin bike made for short, intense rides. Thanks to its solid frame and 49-pound flywheel, it works well for rides where you crank up the resistance and hop up from the saddle to climb hills.
A light, compact model, the XTERRA FB350 folding exercise bike is made for apartments and houses that are tight on space. Pull out the bike when you want to use it, then collapse the X-frame and wheel it right back into a closet or under a high bed.
If you’re looking for a total-body workout at a reasonable price, this upright bike by Exerpeutic will do the trick. It’s designed for riders up to 6’1” and 300 pounds and provides a smooth, stable workout that won’t interfere with the sound from your favourite TV show.
Is working from home seriously impacting your movement goals? Turn work hours into active hours with an exercise bike that doubles as a desk. The Exerpeutic WorkFit 1000 is a semi-recumbent style that allows you to comfortably work on your laptop as you pedal, combatting boredom and helping you get a little sweat on.
Are you tight on space? (Like, really tight?) If you don’t have room for a full-size bike, then this mini exercise bike that features just the pedals is the perfect solution. Use it to keep your heart rate up while you’re sitting at your desk working, or on the couch watching TV.
