Myx Plus In-home Fitness System
→ RATING: 8/1O $1,499
WIRED
Less expensive than similar trainers. Initial “assessment ride” gauges your fitness and adjusts your target heart-rate zones accordingly. Program offers cycling workouts, weight and HIIT training, yoga, and meditation. Nearly silent bike means you can ride at 5 am without waking the downstairs neighbors. Large, bright monitor swivels for use during off-bike workouts.
TIRED
Tablet app can be buggy.
Low resolution of Scenic Rides footage undercuts the immersive experience. Heaviest set of included free weights will not satisfy hardcore gym rats. Takes up a fair amount of floor space. —Billy Brown
