One of my favourite most hated pieces of cardio equipment is the fan bike. Commonly referred to as an “Airdyne” (or Misery Machine or Satan’s Tricycle), this piece of equipment is in a world of its own.
Check out my 4th published article on BodyBuilding.com that discusses why the fan bike should be your go-to piece of cardio equipment. Also included are 4 brutal workouts. Enjoy š

Iām 30 ā started at JKC Aug 2016. I moved to NL to open lululemon and we chose Jon as one of our storeās ambassadors, did one workout and have raved about it ever since! The JKC team can adapt a workout no matter what the situation ā injuries, new goals, you name it! The trust and expertise can’t be matched!
I originally chose JKC to help me rehab following back surgery. JKC was the first gym where a trainer took the time to help me identify my goals and tailor my workouts to achieve them in a safe and doable manner. šš¼Ā Jon & Thomas are both highly professional and knowledgeable.Ā šØš¼āš With their guidance and informative explanationsĀ š£ they have enabled me to reach my ever evolving goals. At JKC Iām guaranteed funĀ š, interestingĀ š and diverseĀ workouts, with Jon & Thomas forever supportive and encouraging. šššš
I had signed up for other gyms in the past and never went or rarely went. Something always got in the way or I was just too tired and lacked motivation to go. This way Iāve made a commitment to Jon or Thomas and I try very hard to keep my sessions once Iāve booked in. JKC is different from other gyms that I’ve tried in the past because no one is there to be āseenā. We are all there to get a good workout in and go on with our lives. And itās a small gym so you get to know everyone and itās like a big family. When I joined JKC, I couldnāt do a chin up with an elastic band, but I’ve slowly worked up to 10 free hanging chin ups. That was big because I hate chin ups.
I had spent a fair bit of time in gyms in my teens and twenties but I turned away from the gym to focus on activities that I enjoyed more. What keeps me at JKC is that I do really enjoy it. I always feel that I’ve accomplished something when I leave at the end of my workout. The environment is really positive and focused on challenging yourself whatever your level of comfort and fitness. I’ve also seen results that I’m really happy with; having someone who really knows what they’re talking about to guide your workouts makes them way more effective and focused than just “going to the gym”.
Shortly after I started at JKC, I sustained a fairly major injury that took me off my feet for several months. When I started to get back to activity, it was very difficult. Jon and Thomas worked hard to tailor my workouts to my goals and what I could do. With their help, I’ve been steadily building back strength and function.
Iām 36 Years Old and started with JKC in 2013. In the past Iād often have motivated spurts of a gym routine but they would usually only last a month or so. Itās pretty easy to press the snooze button at 530 am when thereās no one waiting for you. The fact that the guys are always on time/prepared and motivated for your session adds a level of accountability to your shoulders to āget out of bedā and bring your best effort each time. From the pressure free trainers to the camaraderie that you create over time with the individuals youāre working out with, JKC is able to offer an experience many other gyms cannot.
