5 Reasons to Use the Assault Bike: Why It Belongs in Every Fitness Routine

At REVIVAL Personal Training in Hammersmith, we’re not here to sugarcoat it—the Assault Bike is tough. It doesn’t just look intimidating; it earns its reputation in the first 30 seconds of use. But behind the sweat-drenched handlebars and the burn in your lungs lies a brutally effective training tool that can unlock major gains in performance, fat loss, and mental resilience.

Here’s why the Assault Bike deserves a regular spot in your training sessions at REVIVAL:


1. Unmatched Full-Body Conditioning

Unlike traditional stationary bikes, the Assault Bike engages both the upper and lower body simultaneously. The pushing and pulling of the arms combined with the pedaling of the legs activates major muscle groups all at once. This translates into superior cardiovascular conditioning and muscle endurance. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a competitive athlete, this machine pushes your entire body to adapt and improve.


2. Scalable for All Fitness Levels

One of the most beautiful things about the Assault Bike is its scalability. Resistance is generated by a fan, meaning the harder you go, the more resistance you create. There are no dials to turn or weights to adjust. This makes it an ideal tool for both beginners and elite athletes—we can tailor your output to match your exact fitness level. At REVIVAL, we use it with clients of all backgrounds, adjusting intensity to suit individual goals.


3. Incredible Calorie Burn

If you’re looking to torch calories in a short amount of time, the Assault Bike delivers. Because of the total-body demand and air resistance, it can burn more calories per minute than rowing, running, or cycling. It’s a go-to in our high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions because of how quickly it spikes heart rate and metabolism. It’s not just about working harder—it’s about working smarter, and this machine brings the heat.


4. Low Impact, Joint-Friendly

Despite its intensity, the Assault Bike is surprisingly kind to your joints. Unlike running, which can place repetitive stress on your knees and hips, the bike allows you to train at a high intensity without pounding the pavement. That makes it a staple in rehab programs and for anyone recovering from injury. We often use it to maintain fitness in clients while protecting their recovery process.


5. Mental Toughness Training

Let’s not underestimate this one. The Assault Bike is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one. The constant wind resistance and lack of “cruise control” force you to stay engaged from start to finish. At REVIVAL, we see how it shapes character—teaching discipline, grit, and resilience. It humbles you, but it also builds you.


Ready to Embrace the Suck?

At REVIVAL Personal Training, we don’t shy away from what’s hard—we lean into it. The Assault Bike is a reflection of our ethos: efficient, effective, and designed to get results. Whether you're after improved endurance, fat loss, or a serious mental edge, this machine delivers every time.
