Ready for a little NordicTrack S22i Studio Cycle Review? I had one goal this year for myself – taking care of my health. I committed on January 1st, along with my husband by my side, to take care of myself body, mind and soul.
Growing up an athlete I’ve always loved to workout. I love how it makes me feel. I love how it makes my body ache (that means it’s working). And I love how I see results on my body when I workout.
NordicTrack S22i Studio Cycle
As a busy full-time working mom of 5, I’m going to be honest with you. Finding time to workout isn’t easy. It’s not easy AT ALL. When I heard that NordicTrack had their NordicTrack S22i Studio Cycle out, I was completely intrigued because I knew it would give me the best of both worlds – working out with a trainer, but also working out at home. It was a win win.
8 years ago my husband shed 100 pounds in 4 months by doing 2 things. One – he started eating healthy. Two – he started spin classes. He went to spin classes 4 times a week and their completely helped transform his body. My husband isn’t a big lover of classes at our local gym, but this class in particular really got him.
He loved it. Throughout the last 2 years his weight has slowly crept back on. I could share with you a million excuses, but the reality is – we’re just busy. He doesn’t have time to go to the gym in the morning.
He doesn’t have time to go in the evenings. We are so busy with the kids, our lives revolve around them. We need something EASY to do at HOME.
Enter: NordicTrack S22i Studio Cycle.
When I told my husband that I was chosen to review this item from NordicTrack, he lit up like a Christmas tree! This. This is exactly what we needed. This. This is exactly what we’ve been hoping and wishing for for ourselves. This. This is a true game changer for busy people who don’t have the luxury or ability to get to the gym as much as they want to.
Let me tell you about the NordicTrack S22i Studio Cycle first and then I’m going to tell you why and how this has integrated into our lives so seamlessly.
Before I review ANYTHING on my blog, I need to make sure I have spent time with something and really feel connected to it. I’ve been using this for the last 6 weeks and I am in love with it! Head over heels. It had me at hello. In love with it.

I’m telling you right now, what I love the most is the CONVENIENCE. I’m working out AT HOME when it works for me best. I love to workout when the kids are sleeping in the morning.
I know I don’t have time to go to a gym, but I do have 30 minutes where I can pop in the basement and ride! My husband loves to workout right before dinner (I don’t know how he does this!), so he can easily go down into the basement and ride while I’m prepping away!
The convenience of this amazing machine is incredible! It IS the biggest factor for me in why this will be such a success for us. The convenience alone sets you UP for success!

I can’t say enough about this incredible piece of equipment. If you’re looking to take care of yourself and your health. this is it. If you’re looking to get into a set routine for workouts, this is it. If you’re looking to transform your body, this is it.
I’m telling you – THIS. IS. IT.
I’m now giving myself the courage to start training for a 1/2 marathon due to feeling stronger and stronger each day on this machine!
Our friend’s daughter recently bought an exercise bike – and loves it! To be honest, I am terrified to ride in traffic, so no matter how much I know bike riding would be good for me, that just isn’t going to happen. This would be a better alternative!
Glad you found the best bike for you and your hubby. I swim 3 times a week.
That’s incredible that your husband had lost 100 lbs in just 4 months! I wish him luck on losing weight…it’s so hard. I’ve lost 34 lbs in 5 months. I need to lose 11 more to be at the goal I set for myself. It’s more about diet for me, but it would be awesome to have an exercise bike like this one at home!
fun way to exercise
This looks amazing!! I have a gym routine that works for me (& it helps that my gym is 5mins away & open 24hrs), but this bike looks perfect for a comprehensive at-home workout!
This bike looks amazing. Congrats to your husband’s weight loss! That is fantastic!
great review.
I love that there is over 12000 workout videos! I could use this cycle!!
Kudos to your husband for that big weight loss and tell him to get right back on to that horse now that it’s creeping back up. Now that you have the Nordic Track S22i Studio cycle, he should have no problem. I would love to get one of these, we are in the process of a basement refinish and a workout space is high on our must haves, then I will definitely consider this. I love Nordic Track, I have one of the ski machines from years past and still sometimes do it, yet ran out of space to keep it set up like it should be.
Always interested in ways to get in a good workout in limited time. I love to spin but sometimes it is hard to get to class due to time constraints.
This would be for my daughter and granddaughter, This is adorable.
This is such an awesome bike! It has so many great features! This would definitely help to motivate me to exercise!
