Aeroski Ski Simulator Workout Machine w/ Recoil Spring Resistance, 2 Poles & VR Goggles - Low Impact Elliptical Exercise Equipment for Home and Gym

Love this! Low impact, nice workout. BUT was a bear to assemble, the instructions were very tiny print. However if you like assembling things, then I guess it’s not so bad!! Does not take up much room, I actually have it located in my living room. No noise! I haven’t tried the virtual lenses yet, still need to read up on that, but does not look too complicated, but again instructions are hard to read, tiny print!

Love this machine. Fun to use. Prefect for weight loss and happiness.

This Aeroski machine has been in my Facebook feed and I was curious enough to want to try. I ordered from Amazon instead of Aeroski for a few reasons even though the product cost a little less at Aeroski's website. Amazon had a 90 day return window while Aeroski only allowed 30. To return it to Aeroski, customer pays shipping. Since I was not sure I would like the machine, I didn't want to commit 100% before being able to try it.I got the Aeroski and got it out of the box. I was a little overwhelmed at the assembly - but that is because putting things together is not something I'm good at. I don't even build with Lego! Even so, I followed the directions and got it together without any trouble. I won't say the directions were excellent - the diagrams were a bit small and hard to make out but the instructions were clear and the screws, nuts, etc. were clearly labeled.The first time stepping on the Aeroski felt very unstable/unsteady. The base (where you step, put your feet) moves with any motion. That takes a little getting used to.There are 3 modes you can choose from. Hands free, ski poles, or stable bar. Start with the stable bar and follow the directions which have you screw it in to the base! It gives you something to hold on to while you are climbing on, and to hold/steady yourself while you first start using the Aeroski. Then if and when you feel ready, try skiing without gripping the bar but hovering your hands over it in case you need it. Then try the ski poles or hands free. Otherwise you're likely to fall off.It took me 5-6 'sessions' with the stable bar before I felt ready to do more. Now that I'm using the ski poles, I feel like I'm getting a better workout. I can feel it in my thigh and calf muscles.The machine itself does not take up much space. About 4 feet by 2 feet floor space. And without the poles/stable bar (which detach easily) it is about 20 inches high. The foot base however can be removed very quickly, easily and then the base itself would be low enough to slide under most beds for storage. The machine is lightweight - under 50 pounds including all parts. There is some noise when in use from the parts moving, but I would not call it loud. It might be quieter than my regular treadmill actually.My AEroski came with a VR headset but I have not tried it out.I have thrown out the box it came in - since I have decided that I'm keeping the Aeroski. My primary other cardio is walking, either outside or on a treadmill, and I like the variety this gives me.

Great workout machine. Not to bad for me to put together, insteuctions and pieces well organized. Comes with virtual skii app and goggles, and exercises via app. You download the app on your phone and the eye goggles accommodate your phone in them for virtual play.

This is the great machine for low impact.This took a while for me to decide to buy. Always seeing fitness models on it made it seem a bit silly, I don’t feel that this machine could get you in to that type of shape. It will help you easily lose weight, build muscle and stamina. As much as a low impact workout can do. At 55 years old and at 215 a low impact machine is what I needed.After a month, still using it and seeing results.First thing I did was purchase the 4th spring through aero ski web site, very easy with free and quick shipping. I have to solid bar in front to help with mounting the machine. At first seemed a bit sketchy, after a few times I have gotten better. While developing proper positioning and balance, there was a lot of pain. In my lower back. I found to footpads worked better on the inner slots then the outer. I have not anything information on why there are to different settings, or how to determine which one to use. Looking at how it works in the videos you would think it would be hard on your knees, surprisingly not. As you get into a smooth rhythm it is quite easy to move with flow. Took less than a week to stand up straight and relax. Then progressively started showing some results. The VR headset is a waste, however these machine is quite so TV or radio are easily heard while using it.UpsideHaving positive results from the aero ski with weight loss and general over all feeling.Down sideIt is very basic for the price. There is nothing to monitor your progress, keep count or heart rate.

At first, it's kind if difficult and unsteady (not for clumsy people:-). Has to hang on the rail for a dear life;-)After 5th workout I am able to workout without hands. I strengthtened my thighs and lateral abdominal muscles amazingly fast! Everything was also hurting me at first, knees, lower back and hips, but turned out it was just weak muscles. Now its perfect. I'm kind of lazy to do other workouts, but this one is a lot of fun and I look forward to next one. I have herniated discs and some exercises bothers my back, but this one does not. I waa skeptical to buy, since it's kind of new and there are not too many reviews, but now I am super happy about the purchase and it's great price and easy device that builds muscles really fast. It's light enough to carry around the house. Just buy a rubber matt to protect your carpet or floor, it stains a little. My matt is 36x72 inches.

When I first got it, it was pretty cool. Exercised different muscles and was very low impact. Then after about a month, one spring broke. I am no where near the "weight limit". Additionally, something started disintegrating onto the one rail. This made the movement loud and rough. I tried to contact the seller to see about getting it fixed, but I was only offered a full replacement or return. I don't deal with that kind of customer service so I chose return. It was only after I sent it back that I found out they weren't going to refund all my money. _Their_ equipment broke. And the stole over $100 from me.
