The Technogym Excite 700ISP Upright Bike with Wellness TV is one of the newest offerings from a company whose name has become synonymous with quality fitness products. The bike features a whisper quiet Eddy Current drive system that is smooth and fluid at all speeds. And the Fast Track controls, located conveniently on the handlebars, enable users to change the resistance—and thus the difficulty—of their ride on the fly, without losing any pertinent workout data. There are 25 distinct levels of resistance on the bike, making it appealing to riders of all skill and ability levels. And its strong construction means it can accommodate riders up to 400 pounds in weight.

There are 23 pre-programmed workouts that come standard on the Technogym Excite 700ISP Upright Bike with Wellness TV. They include several goal-based programs that measure rubrics such as time, distance and calories; a fat-burning workout that focuses the user on his or her target heart rate; military style fitness tests; a 5K and 10K ride; speed and distance interval programs; a random setting; a Quick Start mode; and a manual setting, for those who opt to create their own personalized workout plan. Heart rate monitoring is made possible through the intelligent hand/pulse sensors in the grips of the handlebars; or through wireless Polar telemetry for those who opt to wear the optional chest strap.

The Wellness TV on the Technogym Excite 700ISP Upright Bike is one of its most attractive features. Not only does this display monitor track data such as heart rate (dynamic and constant heart rate), calories (and calories burned per hour), distance, time, pace, workout profile and more, it also doubles as a Wellness Center, where users can receive encouragement and advice regarding their short-term and long-term fitness goals.
