Schwinn 203 Exercise Bike Review

The Schwinn 203 recumbent bike is the entry level model from Schwinn Fitness, as the Schwinn 201 recumbent bike is no longer manufactured.

If you've read my reviews of the Schwinn Exercise Bike line, you'll know that I think Schwinn is making good bikes for the entry level user.

The Schwinn 203 is no exception to that rule. It's about as good a recumbent bike as you're going to find in this market segment.

The 203 recumbent comes loaded with 17 workout programs (12 preset, 4 heart rate, 1 user-defined) - a ton more than you'll find on any other competing model in this price range.

Schwinn 203 Key Specs and Benefits

17 preset programs provide workout variety
4 heart rate controlled user programs
Computer controlled, eddy current resistance
Grip Heart Rate enables you to monitor your fitness level
Adjustable fore/aft seat and adjustable handlebars
Operates on AC power

The Schwinn 203 comes with 4 built-in heart rate controlled workouts that will keep your efforts on track, and allow the bike to adjust the resistance on the fly leaving you to concentrate on your workout, not fiddling with knobs and buttons.

For added comfort during your workout on this bike, Schwinn used a super comfortable seat on the 203 that's common across their entire recumbent lineup. The seat on this bike is the most comfortable saddle of any bike I've ridden in the under $1000 price range.

You may not buy an exercise bike just because it has a comfortable seat, but you'll sure appreciate this feature if you use your bike regularly.

There's nothing worse than having a sore butt 5 minutes into your workout because the seat is killing you!

The Schwinn 203 recumbent is a solid entry level bike that easily beats the competition in this price range and is recommended.
