Marcy Exercise Bikes

Marcy has a bike for very different kinds of sessions. Settle into the Pegasus recumbent bike, ride upright on the Pursuit or push the pace on the CardioBlast, where the air resistance gets harder as you pedal. Studio bikes add a more familiar road-bike feel.

Exercise Bikes
Marcy started out around the barbells and bodybuilders of California’s Muscle Beach. Cardio came later. Quite a bit later, actually.

Today, Marcy is firmly in the home fitness world, with exercise bikes now a big part of the picture. Upright, recumbent, studio and air bikes give the range real variety, with options at different price points and levels of training. Selected bikes also work with Zwift and Kinomap, adding virtual routes, workouts and interactive training .

There’s nearly 80 years of fitness experience behind Marcy, but the brand has never wandered too far from what it knows best: making good kit for training at home. 

Why Choose a Marcy Exercise Bike?

Marcy knows home fitness, and that shows in the bike range: sensible price points, with enough choice to find the level of bike that works for how often and how hard you plan to train.

Want a bike for a few rides during the week? There are models that stick to the essentials. Train more regularly and there are bigger resistance ranges, programmed workouts and connected options such as Kinomap and Zwift on selected bikes.

Marcy Upright Exercise Bikes

Upright bikes put you in a familiar cycling position, with the pedals underneath the body and the handlebars out front. They’re a popular pick for regular cardio at home and usually take up less floor space than recumbent bikes.

Marcy has a few uprights in its cardio range. The Arrow Compact Upright Exercise Bike is the smaller, simpler one, with magnetic resistance and a compact frame. The Pursuit Home Upright Bike sits further up the line-up, with electromagnetic resistance, a heavier flywheel and a much broader workout selection.

Marcy Recumbent Exercise Bikes

Recumbent bikes change the position completely. You sit lower, with the pedals out in front and a backrest behind you. The backrest supports the upper body, and the step-through design is easier to get on and off.

The Marcy Pegasus Home Recumbent Bike takes this spot in the range. Its wide seat and backrest add support, with a good choice of resistance levels and workout programmes to explore.

Marcy Studio Bikes

Studio bikes take their cues from indoor cycling classes. The saddle sits higher, the handlebars come forward and the riding position feels sportier than an upright exercise bike. You can change the pace, work through intervals and get out of the saddle.

The Marcy 7038 Studio Bike is the indoor cycling option in the range. A heavier flywheel adds more momentum to each pedal stroke, and you can adjust the saddle and handlebars.

Marcy Air Bikes

Air bikes are a different beast. Pedalling spins the large fan at the front, and the resistance rises with your effort. Push harder and it gets tougher. Moving handles get the upper body working at the same time, which turns the bike into a full-body cardio machine.

That’s the Marcy CardioBlast Home Assault Bike. It’s all about short, hard efforts, interval work and conditioning.

What to Look for in an Exercise Bike

The best place to start? How you’ll actually use the bike. 

How Often Will You Ride?

A couple of short rides a week won’t ask much of a bike. Daily training is another story. With more time in the saddle, things like the frame, resistance range, adjustment and overall riding feel start to matter more. If cycling is a big part of your training, entry-level kit may feel limited. 

Who’s Going to Use It? 

Sharing the bike at home? You’ll want to check the height range and maximum user weight. You can also see how much the seat adjusts. Up and down is fairly standard, and fore and aft adjustment can be handy when several people use the same bike. 

Where Will It Go?

Got a spot in mind? Have a quick check of the dimensions and leave a little room around the bike too. Recumbent bikes take up more space lengthways, and transport wheels are handy if you plan to move the bike around. And if the bike needs mains power, you’ll need a plug nearby.

How Do You Want to Train? 

How do you see yourself using the bike? Maybe you’re after steady rides, quick intervals, indoor cycling or something that gets the whole body working. Your fitness level comes into it too. If you’re new to cycling, you might not need loads of programmes or resistance levels. Already training regularly? You may want a bit more to work with. 

What Kind of Resistance Do You Want?

Resistance can change the feel of a ride. Magnetic bikes run quietly and smoothly. Electromagnetic models adjust the resistance electronically and often come with programmed workouts. Air bikes work differently. Pedal harder and the fan pushes back harder. 

Will You Use the Smart Features? 

Fancy riding with Zwift, Kinomap or another training app? Check which apps work with the bike and what you get with them. Virtual routes, workouts and online rides can all be part of the package. If you already track your workouts with a smartwatch or heart-rate monitor, check if that works with your setup too. You may also need a separate subscription. 

Check the Setup

Getting comfy matters. Have a look at the seat and handlebar adjustment, especially if the bike will be shared. Pedals vary too: Marcy uses straps, cages and other setups across the range, depending on the bike. A bottle holder or somewhere to rest your phone or tablet can be handy as well. Small details, but easy to miss.

FAQ

Are Marcy exercise bikes good?
Marcy has been around home fitness for decades, with exercise bikes now a solid part of the range. There’s plenty of choice at different price points, plus workout programmes and connected training on selected models.

Which Marcy exercise bike is best for home use?
That comes down to how you like to train. The Arrow is a compact upright, and the 7038 has more of an indoor cycling feel. The CardioBlast gets the arms involved too, which works nicely with harder intervals. Prefer a recumbent bike? That’s where the Pegasus comes in.

What is the difference between a Marcy upright and recumbent bike?
An upright bike feels closer to riding a traditional bicycle, with the pedals below you. A recumbent puts the pedals out in front, with a lower seat and a backrest behind you. It also takes up a little more room lengthways.

Which Marcy exercise bike is best for HIIT?
The CardioBlast is a good one to look at. The fan responds to how hard you work, and the moving handles get the upper body involved too. The 7038 Studio Bike is another option if cycling intervals are more your thing.

Are Marcy exercise bikes good for beginners?
Yes. There are approachable options in the range without huge lists of programmes or training tech to get your head around. More advanced bikes are there if you want extra resistance, workout programmes or connected training later on.
