Horizon Fitness, a gym equipment brand our test team celebrates for its wide range of low-priced machines, has some screaming deals on its top-rated exercise bikes this month, including 500 bucks off the brand’s 7.0 Running Shoes & Gear. And thanks to a limited-time discount code made just for Runner’s World Shoes & Gear.
From April 9 through April 30, you can apply the code “RW200” on Horizon’s checkout page to save 200 big ones on a compact, smooth, and sturdy spin bike. The 7.0 IC, just like pieces of equipment in the 7.0 line we’ve personally tested, performs far better and more consistently than you would expect from a machine selling for less than 1000 dollars.

With the 100 magnetically controlled resistance levels on the 7.0 IC, you can knock out whatever spin workout you have on your docket for the day, be it a high-octane interval session or a lazy Sunday spin in front of the TV. For a more immersive experience, you can connect a device, such as a tablet mounted on the handlebars, to the bike using Bluetooth and take command of the machine’s electronic resistance adjustment to sync with your pre-loaded virtual sessions.
While we haven’t had the IC in-house, in the 7.0 range, including the in the 7.0 range, including the AT treadmill. Test runner Jeff Dengate especially appreciated the AT’s easy speed adjustment and compatibility with third-party apps like Peloton and Zwift. And when we sent our AT to one of our out-of-house testers, who happens to be a sub-3 marathoner, he struggled to make the deck shake during even his toughest interval sessions—for a ’mill costing less than a grand, that’s unquestionably impressive. Thanks to the IC’s smooth, magnetic aluminum flywheel and wide base, you can expect a similar level of sturdiness for your spin workouts.
If you’ve been waiting for a chance to snag a shiny new piece of gym tech for cheap, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better deal than this heavily discounted bike. Just be sure to lock in that code—RW200—when you’re checking out to maximize your discount. And if that code doesn’t work? Try the code POWER200 for the same slashed price.
