How I built a decade-long fitness habit with CAROL

Paul wasn’t convinced at first. When his company installed a CAROL Bike in the office as part of their employee wellness package, he thought it sounded too good to be true.

“5 minutes and no need to change your clothes as you won’t sweat? Really?!”

But like many of us, time—not motivation—was the fitness hurdle that he faced. With 2 young daughters and a full schedule, traditional workouts weren’t realistic. Skepticism gave way to curiosity.

“It claimed a very quick and relatively easy way to get fit, so it seemed ideal for my lifestyle. I had nothing to lose.”

That was in 2015. He’s still riding today—on his own CAROL Bike.

“I found the bike and workouts so good, quick and effective that I acquired a bike to use at home to enable me to continue the regimen. I ride at least 4 times a week, with breaks only for illness and holidays, and it “costs” me less than 30 minutes per week.”

The fitness habit that stuck

Paul’s workout of choice? The signature REHIT Intense ride, with 2×20-second sprints.

“It’s the one I started on and still use. Even without the stats, I quickly felt stronger and fitter and could work harder.”

The beauty of CAROL Bike’s AI-personalization is that your workout evolves as you do. As Paul gets fitter, the bike automatically recalibrates resistance—applying it at the optimal level, at the exact right moment.

He tracks progress via CAROL’s Fitness score, a metric that reflects your cardiovascular fitness level, which is calculated using your power output and heart rate.

“After only a small number of sessions I could easily tell it was improving my fitness, which was supported by the extensive stats the bike tracks.”

Now, as a long-term rider, he’s experienced firsthand how small efforts compound over time.

“I’m still seeing long-term improvements, and it remains a great, quick and easy way for me to maintain my fitness.”

His advice to new riders?

“I’d highly recommend CAROL Bike, whatever your fitness needs. From short intense routines to longer Fat Burn rides, it offers an awesome and flexible approach. It is even compatible with other well-known online exercise programs, too.”
