Just in it to purely spin.
Cyklus is about as pure as it gets. the "game" aspect of having the screens in the front are def motivating. almost a king of the hill type of deal mixed with sprint intervals = awesome.

I get these newsletters in my inbox from Cyklus once in a while, thought this was funny:

We know the total body on bike workout does not deliver fitness, but now we are hearing about injuries. This lawsuit is being widely discussed among fitness instructors, and new members to the studio are telling us horror stories of injuries or serious near misses.

In one case the handlebars actually broke off during a bike pushup workout in a Vancouver boutique studio.

If your trainer advises you to do a total body workout on the bike, RUN don't walk out the door. They are either misinformed, or they are misinforming you.
