Find Your Perfect Elliptical
Picture minute 22 of a 45-minute ride. Your phone is wedged against the console, tilted at the angle of a leaning tower, and it slides on every hard climb. You can see the class instructor’s left ear and none of your own stats. A proper phone holder for exercise bike use ends that circus. It … Read more
An iPad holder for treadmill workouts is a clamp, tray, or gooseneck mount that secures your tablet at eye level on a treadmill’s handlebar or console. It lets you stream, read, or follow classes hands-free. A good one resists vibration, fits your device and case, and never blocks the machine’s controls. Let’s be honest: most … Read more

The treadmill gets nudged into a corner, the bike gets wheeled against the wall, and somebody says, “We’ll deal with it in spring.” Then winter arrives and does what winter does. A cheap cover for exercise equipment during winter storage looks like … Read more
A fitted cover for exercise bike storage is a shaped protective sleeve, usually made of polyester or Oxford fabric, cut to match an exercise bike’s footprint and finished with an elastic hem, drawstring, or straps.
