I recently bought an upright exercise bike from Walmart (Gold's gym power spin 210). It is incredibly uncomfortable and I would like to know if there is a way of replacing the seat with another one, kind of like a universal exercise seat that will fit on my bike? Thanks!

It looks like it is a proprietary seat and seat post from looking at the manual. You can try to keep riding and it will get better once you get use to it. Everyone has to go through butt training when they first start riding a bike even if they rode the whole summer before and took the winter off. You can try a gel seat cover or just use a piece of 1 inch foam. Raise the saddle high enough so that your leg is straight with the heel of you foot is over the center of the pedal and a slight bend with the ball of your foot in the same place.
Take shorter rides until you get use to it.

Why do i have tailbone (area) pain after taking an hour long spinning class?
weirdbabyg
this was my first full spinning class. I did great with keeping up and my legs are not in to much pain but my tailbone/butt just hurt. What am I doing wrong? Is this just a normal pain that will eventually go away with more classes?
Answer
The reason is you are putting a great deal of pressure on that point for a long duration of time. Especially, since you are grinding back and forth as you spin. I suggest going to WalMart or another place that sells gel filled bike seat covers and putting that on your spinning bike seat during your sessions. I use one on my regular bicycle seat and it helps a great deal.
