Understanding Modern Spinning Bikes
Before we get into the bulk of this article, it’s important to understand modern spinning bikes. As you might know, they come in all different shapes and sizes. Bikes such as the NordicTrack S27i and Peloton Plus bikes are not small, and with big screens sticking right out front, they are not always the best option if you are struggling for space and need to move them around.

2. A Solid Base
If you are on the ground floor, that is better and will make a big difference to the noise levels compared to upstairs. If you don’t have a choice, getting into the corner of a room near load-bearing walls can help keep it quieter.
3. Set It Up Correctly
Next, it’s important to have the bike correctly set up. Ensure all bolts are nice and tight and nothing is loose. Then it would be best if you focused on the feet being nice and level, as that can make a big difference.
4. Remove Vibrations
