Schwinn 270 – An Advanced Recumbent Bike

Schwinn has continued its legacy of producing fantastic machines with pedals by introducing the Schwinn 270 recumbent bike, a modification to its predecessor, the 230 recumbent bikes. Although, the Schwinn 230 exercise bike was in itself a very good piece of equipment but it had to be upgraded taking into consideration the different reviews and feedback from the customers. Schwinn being one of the
most considerate Companies, with regards to customer feedback, made sure that the Schwinn 270 recumbent exercise bike had all that a person could want to achieve their fitness goals and targets.

Schwinn 270 Pros

Once you get a hang of the settings and programs, the fitness and recovery tests that are offered and the usage of quick resistance keys, there is no doubt in my mind that the Schwinn 270 will push and punish every single muscle in your thighs, hips, calves, legs and feet. Along with having a strong lower body you can lose a lot of weight due to its cardio workout nature and be in the best shape of your life before you even know it. It is a piece of equipment that you can mount in your home gym and can be used by all your family members with their own profiles as well (up to 4). You also have the luxury of staying fresh and motivated to push yourself even harder by listening to your music on the built-in acoustic chamber speakers that provide a very high quality sound. When you’re too pumped up and have just come out of a high intensity workout session you don’t even need to get off the bike to take a break, you will have a 3-speed fan blasting air on your chest and face to keep you cool and relaxed and help you recover for the next phase.

Schwinn 270 Cons

Although, the Schwinn 270 recumbent exercise bike is an advanced looking piece of equipment, it has its own drawbacks that can’t be swept under the carpet and be ignored. For a lot of users, the 29 program settings will perhaps never be of much use, first because they won’t be needing all of them, second of all, they will have much trouble navigating their way to the desired setting. Users may complain about the LCD display being too bright for the naked eye and perhaps being a dis tractor. The 3-speed fan is also at times not as powerful as promised even on the highest level. All these drawbacks are somewhat minor, what actually matters is that if you’re paying a considerable amount of money on exercise equipment, you ought to make full use of it and use all its features, that rarely happens because of the programming which makes it very hard to navigate and actually start on with the workout.

Final Thought

If you list all the pros and cons, you will most certainly buy the Schwinn 270 recumbent exercise bike, not only because it is sleek, sturdy, comfortable and has a vast range of workout options, but because it is an exercise bike that has been designed to meet your needs and is refined to kick out all the defects that have previously been an issue for Schwinn’s products. It is something you would want in the corner of your home gym to make sure that you do your lower body and cardio workout every day and stay as fit as you can for a healthy life.
