i'm in the market for a good spinning bike to do my zone 2 and zone 5 training as per Peter Attia's recommendation. one of the most rounded solution is the Schwinn IC4, the only problem i see is that it does not have a standard power meter with Watts output, is has some other measure which I'm not sure can be translated to watts.

The schwinn ic4 is the exact same as the bowflex c6 (they have the same parent company).
what i look for the spin bike is:
- good construction and ergonomics
- power output (very important to be able to compare my heart rate at different power outputs)
- no subscription or monthly fees (for example peloton)
- less than $1000, preferably in the $500-$700 range (i believe the ic4 can be bought at a discounted price of $500). best buy used to have it on sale around that price.
i may ne waiting for a new model with upgraded technology as the ic4 is a couple of years old now.
