    I’m new to this and I’m sick of my treadmill and wanting a change.

    I don’t know which one to get in 5ft 11 if that helps and is there one you can sync to your iPhone or Apple Watch for calories etc

    thank you

    Can't recommend one but would advise against, a spinning bike on your own at home is incredibly boring in my experience and nothing like the experience of a spinning class. Much better off going for a smart home trainer (assuming you have a bike)

    If you have lots of spare cash - Peleton . If you dont then as above if you are near anywhere running classes go to them its a much more enjoyable experience.

    Many modern indoor bikes are ‘smart’ in that they connect to iPads, phones or smart TVs so you use them in conjunction with a third party app (Zwift, Trainer Road, Rouvy etc) so they don’t have their own screens which is probably a good thing for longevity. I have a Wattbike which I love and use a lot but it’s probably too much of an expense for someone who is not too into cycling.

    As others have suggested try a spin class or two to see if you will actually like indoor cycling and to give you a feel for various bike types.
