WORLD PREMIERE
The 1st of October the eTenzor Cycle and Training Concept was revealed at Hillerød Physiotherapy and Training Centre (www.hftc.dk). Here the real users had their first go at this revolutionary concept within indoor cycling - and what a kick off-event it turned out to be.
Have a look at some of the photos from the big day and see what remarks and comments the cycle and concept got on the very first day of use.

Hello Hillerød Training Centre
I’m not a big spinning enthusiast; prefer fresh air and the wind in my face.
But there will be many days during the next six months when the evenings are dark and the weather won’t be suitable for riding on the roads or in forests, so this is where spinning makes a really good alternative.
I’ve tried out a few spinning bikes and each time I’ve been irritated over the different types of resistance adjustments, handlebars and saddle.
Here at last we have a bike that is fully adjustable to your needs, using the measurements of each individual participant taken before their first spinning workout.
I thought the bike worked perfectly, both when I was sitting and standing. The handlebars inspired me to try out many different riding positions. An easy–to–follow display with a lot of useful information and statistics.
The resistance adjuster was great, it was easy to use and read (1 to 24 in different colour zones).
Great time and programme by Chris MacDonald. Hard, but good.
The Synergy Cycling concept is incredibly clever, it has an overhead on the wall where participants can see the daily schedule divided into:
1. Current workout,
2. Next workout,
3. Entire workout range, broken down into the intensity of individual exercises and the levels you have reached during your workout.

Per Andersen

Hello Hillerød Training Centre
My experience of the eTenzor bike was fantastic. Already after half an hour I found out which level to use and was able to adjust my saddle to have a really good riding position – This is cool stuff.
1.
The eTenzor bike is very easy to adjust according to the targets you key in.
2.
The computer display is easy to follow and you quickly learn to use the various functions.
3.
The 24 gears gave me a good experience – it’s like sitting on a racer bike.
4.
It's fantastic they've come up with a computer that displays all the data that workout nuts need.
5.
It was great to see the programme displayed on a large easy–to–follow screen on the wall.
6.
It’s really good that everyone can join the session even if you are working out at different levels.
I should also say that Chris MacDonald is a really good trainer. He’s organised a fantastic workout.
Overall, it was a very good experience.
I will most certainly be coming again soon. I’ll bring my other half as well next time.

Hello Hillerød Training Centre
Thank you for an exciting Synergy Cycling session at your training centre last Sunday.
The advantages I gained riding on your eTenzor are as follows:
1. This was the biggest novelty in indoor cycling since I tried it for the first time in 1994.
This Synergy Cycling method will appeal to many ”old spinners" who are brave enough to try out something new – and beginners will enjoy all the benefits from the very start.
2. You can manage your workout so it fits exactly what you want to achieve. It’s particularly good for the many cyclists and people who use bikes for work out. The training effect was simply better than on a normal spinning bike.
3. The pedal is different. There is no ”slip” in the pedal. That way you are forced to use the optimal pedal – “the round one”.
4. It’s easy to measure your progress (or lack of it) using the 10 levels you can ride on. If you aren’t honest with yourself, eTenzor will punish you automatically during the ride by indicating your time has “run out”, or if you’ve exceeded at a level, it will push you harder so that you can draw optimal benefit from your workout.
Fortunately, I was honest with myself and hit my level perfectly. As a result, I’ve had the most effective workout in ages and Chris MacDonald as my trainer really helped things.
Regards, Niels Ottzen, Trainer and President of Kronborg Cycling Club

Dear Hillerød Training Centre,
I attended the eTenzor session with Chris MacDonald last Sunday, doing both the basic and peak workouts.
I have done a lot of spinning with Chris MacDonald before as well as on other bikes. I also ride on roads.
I think that eTenzor & Synergy Cycling concept (the bike + the training method) is the best workout machine that has come out for a while. As far as indoor cycling is concerned, eTenzor is a major and natural step forward. The gear system, the feeling you get when riding, the workout structure and the fact that you can monitor your progress on the computer is simply fantastic!
Even my wife has said that she ought to give it a try – and it takes a lot of persuading for her to do something like that.
Thank you for the effort you’ve put into coming up with such an innovation.
Lots of luck with your new centre,
Peter Møller Hansen

Hello Hillerød Training Centre
It was a superb experience to get to spin on your eTenzor & Synergy Cycling World Premiere. The comfortable seat combined with an easy–to–follow display of relevant information showing you how to optimise your workout gave me the feeling that I was cycling on the road.
I think myself that eTenzor gives you the opportunity to use all the information to make your training session a springboard for a better understanding of your physiological limits. LAST but not least, it was a true pleasure to meet an icon like Chris MacDonald. Thanks J.
Best wishes,

Hello Hillerød Training Centre
What a fabulous introductory session to the new eTenzor bikes! The bikes are easy to adjust and programme, and their display is easy to read – including during the workout. We got good guidance from both the trainer and the information on the screen so that all our energy could be used for cycling. After the session I felt tired, but in a pleasant way – and happy!
Best wishes,
Gertrud

Hello Hillerød Training Centre
Thank you for a super experience yesterday afternoon, it was fantastic getting a chance to ride a bike that can be adjusted so easily and the individual display makes sense and is easy to follow.
Plus, following the information on the big screen and seeing what is going on and what you need to do next give the whole workout a new dimension.
I also noticed that there wasn’t nearly as much friction on eTenzor bike compared to “ordinary” spinning bikes. You could also compare this to golf where everybody is under the challenge of playing against everybody else. Here you adjust the eTenzor bike so that it gets you to draw maximum benefit from the workout.
Once you’ve tried the new bikes, there’s no turning back to ordinary spinning again.
For this reason, I'd really like to register with Hillerød Physiotherapy and Training Centre.
Best wishes,

Dear Hillerød Physiotherapy and Training Centre
Thank you for the trial session last Sunday when you held the world premier of the new eTenzor bike.
Warning :) : I would advise anyone who isn’t yet a member and isn’t thinking of changing his/her current gym to not try out this new bike. It’s an amazing experience.
All the information you need is always displayed on the eTenzor bike and on the big screen. Some 14 hours after trying out your bike, I feel I need to change the gym in Herlev where I renewed my membership recently. eTenzor is the coolest indoor bike and a great one for ladies too. So I must join your gym! See you at the next cycling workout.
Best wishes,
BMS A/S – Lifte Danmark

Hello Hillerød Training Centre,
Thank you for a lovely experience
Chris is really inspiring and the eTenzor bike was really fab to ride on.
Even though the programme was designed to be used by everyone, it was still good to know that we could all take part regardless of our skill and stamina.
Really cool stuff.
And thanks for the sports gear, they were a perfect fit.
Best wishes,
Finn Postma |
