BH Fitness exercise bikes are made by the large US fitness company of the same name, in fact, they only make models under this brand name and for no one else.
They are one of the world's largest fitness manufactures established in the 1960's and initially designed and made equipment for the commercial market.
They have a good reputation for innovative features built into reliable, quality machines. Their designs are certainly quite eye-catching compared to many run-of-the-mill home fitness machines.
They export all over the world to both home and commercial markets and can claim to be one of the few sports equipment companies to be certified in accordance with ISO 9001 standards. For us this means we can buy their machines and be assured that it's passed rigorous testing. In fact the whole process of design, manufacture, export, delivery and on-going customer service will run like clockwork! Well that's the theory :0)
We've tried a few of their bikes (plus treadmills and cross trainers) and we have to admit we love them - see below.
The BH Fitness exercise bikes are aimed at the highly competitive mid-price range market with prices starting at around £200 up to about £680. All BH Fitness exercise bikes come with a lifetime warranty on the frame and motor, plus two years on all parts.
We've listed below the bikes we've tried so far with the best online price we can find.
We've also put a link to Amazon so you can search for a better price with them - but always check the delivery cost! What can appear cheaper initially doesn't always turn out
to be a bargain once you add on the postage.

Our view - as we've come to expect from BH Fitness this is a stylish and practically designed bike for comfort and ease of use. The saddle is large and very well padded - important if you're going to be sitting on it for hours a week. It can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally to find the best position.
The pedal action is smooth and quiet and resistence levels are easily changed using the knob on the column. The console has a clear, large readout displaying all the usual workout data, plus there is a body fat and recovery test programme. Another bonus is a heart rate control programme that keeps your heart working at an optimum level for burning fat and improving fitness. Other nice touches include a bottle holder under the seat and large transport wheels that make it easy to move around.
A stylish yet practical bike at a very competitive price.
BH Fitness ZTX EMS TV
Our score -
16 pre-set exercise programmes
Body fat and recovery test programmes
7" built-in TV in console
Best price £583 from Fitness Superstore
Our view - the first thing you notice is the TV built into the console. Some people love this sort of feature whereas other see them as a gimmick. However, it's a good size screen with a good picture and may help many to keep cycling when boredom may otherwise have won the day. The bike itself is great. Very comfortable saddle that can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally, the pedals are well designed and the action is smooth and quiet. There's a good variation of pre-set programmes which should be enough to keep most people motivated. There are hand grips to monitor your heart rate but a big bonus is it also comes with a chest strap for more accurate heart rate monitoring than using hand grips.
Yes it's quite pricey but it's the sort of bike you will use thanks to the programmes and yes, probably the TV.
