Mar 11, 2023

WALMART shoppers are rushing to buy an indoor exercise bike with half off its $800 price tag.

The retail giant's website regularly sells a number of products across its various departments with special deals that cannot be found in-store.

Meanwhile, other shoppers use the store app in order to find hidden deals on shelves.

The online price of the Echelon Connect Sport-S Indoor Cycling Exercise Bike was slashed by the budget retailer.

The bike has 32 manual resistance levels which allows people of all fitness levels to work to achieve their goals.

Initially priced at $799, Walmart has decided to offer it for a fraction of the price at $397.

The bike is one of Walmart's 'popular picks' and according to the website, is already in over 50 online carts.

According to the description, the spin bike was "designed with form in mind."

It features fully padded and ergonomic handlebars for correct and comfortable upper body alignment.

The pedals have adjustable straps for the toe cages and have easy-move wheels.

According to Walmart: "Whether aiming to de-stress, increase endurance or anything in-between, the sport-s connected bike can help anyone reach their goals without breaking the bank."

Those who are just starting out on their fitness journey will benefit from the 10" integrated high-resolution screen.

The screen gives users live and on-demand classes for all fitness levels.

On the store website, the product has a majority of 5-star reviews, as people rave about their bike.

One said: "This bike is very well worth the money! So glad I decided to purchase it.

"I assembled this on my own and was riding it within an hour.

"The screen/tablet is awesome and works great! I started my workout journey with a beginner's class."

Another added: "I love the bike, the seat is really comfy and you can adjust it to so many levels, from easy to harder.

"The bike looks a lot like the competition but costs less."

The only warning people left in their reviews was that the subscription to use the screen is expensive.

One reviewer said: "For $300 for Black Friday sale, this is an excellent deal. It has multiple adjustable parts to easily fit your size. The bike has strong resistance.

"It comes with a screen which you, unfortunately, have to pay a subscription for to get any information about your ride (this is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5).

"Other than that I believe it's too quality for the price paid."

Another added: "I won't continue with the subscription after the free trial ends, but I do love it. Just too expensive for me. The bike has been great so far though."
