Too loud for apartments unfortunately. I've tried a few exercise machines (bikes, rowers, and air bikes), but Peloton is pretty much the only thing quiet enough for an apartment. I wish I could have a rower and assault bike, but my neighbors would kill me, and I wouldn't blame them.
- Retric 6y agoAssuming you have enough sound insulation to watch TV at normal levels, just put some foam pads under exercise equipment and it’s fine in most apartments. At the extreme end barbells are completely silent.
- bob1029 6y agoIf you have a C2 with clean rails & rollers and a thick rubber mat under it, it should be virtually inaudible to downstairs/adjacent neighbors. Also barbells can be the ultimate silent form of exercise if you are skilled in their usage. I can do most lifts more quietly than when I am rowing. Dropping the barbell, or explosive lower body movements are usually the only 2 things that should ever make loud noises, and one of those should never happen if you are doing things properly. I also don't think it is unreasonable to make a little bit of noise during waking hours, especially if it's only for ~30 minutes at a time and not of an impulsive nature (i.e. dropping things on the floor). A C2 would probably be mistaken for a washing machine when listening through a wall.
- redisman 6y agoI got a water rower (it has a water tank for resistance) and it's pretty quiet. I use it in my apartment (in the hallway so it wouldn't really bother anyone even if it was louder).
- novok 6y agoHave you tried an exercise bike with magnetic resistance? They're pretty cheap and near silent.
