Continuing experience during 100 day trial
The first couple of weeks there were a couple of small issue which were quickly rectified by great customer service. So far they have consistently exceeded my expectations in resolving any question I have had. They seem to really emphasize great customer service as a cornerstone. Great product as well. Really enjoying and am motivated by the bike!

Terrific bike, terrific company
Delivery: 5 stars of 5. Arrived when they said it would, perfectly assembled, and the two delivery guys were super sweet (bonus).
Bike experience: 5 stars of 5. I am the opposite of a world class athlete. Late middle aged sluggish female, very overweight. My doctor ordered me to exercise, for obvious reasons (28 pounds to lose, VO2Max can use a lot of improvement). However, I actually am excited to get on the bike (not my usual exercise experience, at all). Getting chased by the tiger turns out to be very entertaining. I am still in the beginner workouts, but looking forward to being able to do more, and now I believe it is possible. Two thumbs up.
Support: At least 6 Stars of 5. My call with Matthew answered all of my questions, and then some.

Leah, thank you so much for your review.

CAROL Bike gives you the shortest, most effective workouts—proven to deliver superior health and fitness benefits in 90% less time compared to regular cardio.
We're looking forward to seeing your progress on our leaderboards!
Communications from pre to post order amazing!
Preorder and order communications with Matthew Kohn was a great first impression, knowledge and responsive.
Once ordered, the follow through with my delivery was still on point, they saw this through and even followed up with shipper and ground transportation to expedite the process, and where I live that's impressive.
Reached out on a power issue and again, received a phone call almost immediately to get me on point.
If I could give more stars, they'd get it! Anyone that I've dealt with at Carol provides answers and solutions with a smile.
Thank you, team Carol!

My wife and I are newer parents
My wife and I are newer parents. During the last 3 years my wife and I both have found it very hard to find time to exercise. The Carol bike has make it possible for both of to have time because it can be so quick. Some days we just have 8 minutes. The Carol turns that 8 minutes into a great workout.

Customer service was great!
I had a personal issue with my ability to fully utilize the 100 day trial period. When I explained that to Carol, their response went way beyond what I expected. They were very accommodating and cemented the trust that they were fully standing behind their product.

Bike showed up much later than originally scheduled date. Everyone was kind. Delivery place apologized. I had to ask for a concession to CAROL. They authorized 6 months free on app. Then bike showed up & isn’t functional. Now I am waiting for A technician to come out. Missed out on weeks of being able to use my bike. Just disappointed. Still not fixed.

Amazing piece of fitness equipment
I am a fitness fanatic.. cyclist former Ironman triathlete and have had practically every piece of equipment that has come out over the years. I had never heard of the CAROL Bike (popped up in my FB feed) but thought I wanted to give it a try.It has blown away my expectations! One of the most challenging workouts I have ever done in such a short period of time. I am addicted to trying to improve my peak power and fitness score. Besides, the Rehitt workouts, there are many other workouts you can do. You can even ride zwift and Rouvy! It has definitley improved my overall fitness and cycling. Great support and service too! Love it!

100% recommend this company and this bike!
I was thrilled with the customer service and support. I was able to talk with someone before the purchase. The bike arrived immaculately packaged. Assembly instructions were clear and easy to follow. I kept the box for the 100 day trial and threw it out after 2 weeks. This bike lives up to the claims. I'm a month in, already seeing results, and I love it! Worth it, worth it, worth it!
