Exercise Bike Hire vs. Finance
This guide will help you decide whether to hire an exercise bike or buy an exercise bike on finance.
Exercise bike hire is one way to spread the cost. But is it the best option? Hire costs add up over time and you'll never own the bike. When your contract comes to an end, you might even be met with extra charges for any aesthetic damage.
If you have long-term fitness goals, buying an exercise bike on finance may make more sense. There are many benefits to owning rather than hiring, as we’ll explore. Read on for our top exercise bike hire tips and to learn more about exercise bike finance.
Exercise Bike Hire Tips
Exercise bike hire may be right for you, if you only intend to use your equipment for one or two months. We don’t hire exercise bikes at JTX Fitness but we’re happy to guide you through the decision making process.
Here’s what to keep in mind if you’re thinking about hiring an exercise bike:
Bike type
Choose the right exercise bike for your fitness goals, height and weight. Is it a training, studio or upright style you want?
Repairs
Make sure you’ll get a quick replacement or repair if the exercise bike breaks or develops a fault. Some spin bike hire companies will continue to charge weekly fees whilst they are repairing the bike.
Time Limit
Can you achieve your health and fitness goals within the exercise bike rental period? Make sure you have a workout plan in mind.
Costs
Compare the rental cost with buying your own exercise bike on finance. It’s usually far more cost-effective to own, and you will benefit for years to come.

Buying an Exercise Bike on Finance
JTX Fitness specialises in new, gym-quality fitness equipment for home and commercial use. Many people choose exercise bike hire because they fear that buying a gym-quality bike is outside of their budget. Exercise bike finance offers an alternative way to spread the cost.
Hiring an exercise bike for a short time may suit you, if you have a quick goal to reach. But if you have long-term fitness goals, buying may be a better investment. JTX Fitness does not currently offer finance directly. But, if you want to buy one of our exercise bikes on finance, you can apply for PayPal Credit when you check out.
There are many benefits to buying rather than hiring an exercise bike:
Building a fitness habit
It can take a while to build a fitness habit that sticks. Owning your exercise bikes means you can hop on any time.
Investing in fitness for life
Unlike a short-term rental, buying an exercise bike means you have no time restrictions. You can work on achieving meaningful, long-term fitness goals.
Making the most of your bike
Take the time to try every program. Learn the best way to use your bike and improve your performance.
Enjoying peace of mind
With our in-home repair warranty, you can relax - you’re covered. If your bike develops a fault, an engineer will come and fix it. Our warranties give you peace of mind. Should your cross trainer develop a fault, an engineer will come and fix it.
Recouping the cost
If you own your bike, you can sell it at any time to recover some of the cost.
Applying for PayPal Credit
If you decide exercise bike finance is right for you, you can apply for PayPal Credit at our checkout. Simply fill out your details and you’ll have a decision within minutes.
If you are eligible for PayPal Credit, you’ll enjoy 4 months interest free on all purchases over £99. Once approved, you will have a credit limit attached to your PayPal account. This allows you to spread the cost of your home gym equipment into affordable monthly payments. You can choose to pay over 6 - 24 months with a typical APR of 19.9%.
Buy a JTX Fitness exercise bike on PayPal Credit and your monthly payments may be cheaper than exercise bike hire costs. Instead of hiring, you'll own your own equipment, while saving money.
