One of the biggest benefits of ElliptiGO bikes is that they provide an incredible outdoor, low-impact workout. So why would you want to ride inside? We’ve got seven super reasons that you should try indoor riding with the Fluid 365 Stationary Trainer. Read on to find out why ElliptiGOers say this piece of equipment is their secret weapon for riding better and more often.
1. You Can Enjoy Year-Round Fitness
The Fluid 365 Stationary Trainer makes it easy to maintain your fitness routine no matter the season. Whether it’s too cold, too hot, too dark or raining, snowing or icy outside, you can ride indoors without missing a beat. Leo agrees, saying in his five-star review, “Thoroughly love having my ElliptiGO Fluid 365 Stationary Trainer for use during the wet and treacherous winter months! I’ve only had it for a month but have been able to get on the ElliptiGO nearly daily.” Best of all, when the weather is better, you can easily ride outdoors again (see reason #3).
2. You’ll Get a Realistic, Road-Like Feel
Unlike traditional trainers that place stress on the rear axle, the Fluid 365 attaches to both the front and rear wheels of your ElliptiGO bike. This unique design allows your bike to pivot naturally from side to side, mimicking the real road-riding experience indoors. As Blaine explains, “The ingenious rear wheel setup enables me to feel the greater tension of the higher gears just as if I was on the road.” Just like Blaine, you’ll enjoy a smooth, stable stand-up ride that feels just like being outdoors, thanks to this innovative stationary trainer.
3. Setup and Transition Are Easy-Peasy
You’re likely to ride more often when you have the stationary trainer. The Fluid 365’s simple setup lets you quickly switch between indoor and outdoor riding, giving you the flexibility to train any time. “We have gone from using our ElliptiGOs occasionally to using them almost every day,” say the Svirds in their five-star review. “With the indoor setup, it’s easy to hop on for a quick workout!” And it’s easy to move your EllitpiGO bike on and off the trainer whenever you want to.
You can make your workout your own with accessories like the ElliptiGO Trainer Mat, which is a stylish option for floor protection. The Wahoo Speed and Cadence Sensor allows you to track your indoor rides effortlessly with the Wahoo app. Sync your workouts using your smartphone, tablet or Garmin device, and upload them to Strava or any tracking platform you prefer — or simply monitor your ride stats directly. You can use this device to track outdoor rides, too. You may also want to add the Ergon Handlebar Grips G5 to your bike. The grips provide more options for hand positions, making for a more comfortable ride.
4. Enjoy Virtual Workout Classes 
Sure, you can Netflix and GO. But you can also enjoy free, pre-recorded ElliptiGO workout classes led by top triathlete Susanne Davis. These sessions focus on endurance, hill and interval training. Some also include optional abs, strength and stretching routines to round out your workout. And although an ElliptiGO bike is different from a traditional stationary bike, you can also ride along to online cycling classes, like Peloton rides.
5. You Can Do Low-Impact Workouts for Injury Rehab
The Fluid 365 offers adjustable resistance, making it ideal for low-impact workouts that are perfect for injury rehab or recovery. Its design reduces strain on your joints while still providing a gentle, effective workout. If you’re recovering from an injury, this trainer is a great way to stay active without overexerting yourself.
When an injury threatened to force Ree to give up riding, she decided to purchase the trainer. Ree says it’s “totally worth the money! I get to keep using my ElliptiGO as I rehab my shoulder. It has been the BEST health investment for me.”
6. Or Push Your Limits With High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
On the other hand, if you’re looking for a more challenging workout, the Fluid 365 also is built for high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Its realistic resistance curve lets you push your limits and build strength, endurance and speed without running out of gears. G.C. says, “It really has helped me improve my strength and cadence.”
7. You Can Train 24/7
Perhaps you need to keep an eye on a child or a pet while you work out. Maybe you only have 20 minutes between Zoom meetings, but you want to stand up and GO! Perhaps you only have time to ride at night or before dawn. For all of those reasons and more, the Fluid 365 Stationary Trainer gives you the ability to bring your workout indoors, whether it’s a quick ride or a high-mileage ride. As Justin points out, “If your job/lifestyle doesn’t give you much daylight training, you can exercise early in the morning or in the evening in the safety of your own home!”
The Fluid 365 Stationary Trainer offers the best of both worlds: a realistic indoor ride and the ease of transitioning to outdoor rides when conditions are right. Its versatility allows you to train on your terms, no matter the season, time of day or weather. With the Fluid 365, you’re always ready to ride.
