Editor’s note: This is the third in a seven-part series on how to find the best high-end fitness equipment for your home gym. Featured today are recumbent bike reviews.

With seemingly an endless list of options out there when it comes to purchasing exercise equipment, there’s no shortage of advertisements of companies telling you they offer the best value. What if you’re the type of person who’s willing to spend a little bit more to own quality equipment? It can be even more confusing to know what type of exercise equipment to purchase.

Don’t assume that just because you see a name brand in a public gym that is the best choice for your home. Club brands are selected for durability because they can be in use for 10-16 hours a day. You’re not going to get the smoothest rides, runs or lifts, or most comfortable seats on machines that are built to sustain stress in a commercial gym.

To find the best high-end fitness equipment for your home gym in Arizona, including top of the line recumbent bikes, turn to the pros at At Home Fitness. They have recumbent bikes that are used by everyone from professional athletes to the average couple next door.

You get a lot more support from a recumbent bike, which offers a back rest with curved lower-lumbar support and puts more emphasis on the hamstrings. If you have had any back trouble, a recumbent bike might be the best choice because of its added support. When choosing a stationary bike, comfort is a big key. For many people who are way overweight a recumbent is a great way to start the process of trimming down. You can get a cardio workout on it without putting much stress on the back and joints.

Here are three great choices for recumbent bikes at different top of the line price points from $1,500 and above:
