Why Use a Super Home Gym Ski Trainer?

The Super Home Gym Ski Trainer provides all the aerobic and strength benefits, and is available even when there’s no snow or you can’t get to the trails. Even if you’ve never put on a pair of skis, the Super Home Gym Ski Trainer is the perfect tool to help you reap the benefits of a skiing workout.

An Effective Full-Body Workout

The Super Home Gym Ski Trainer helps you build strength and endurance by working the entire body in an efficient, rhythmic motion. Skiing is a low impact, high calorie burning exercise suitable for all ages and abilities. You are in complete control of the resistance: the harder you pull, the faster the flywheel spins, which creates more resistance.

A Safe, Effective and Convenient Training Tool

The SHG Ski Trainer provides excellent sport-specific training using the poling motions that are integral to both techniques of Nordic Skiing. It also provides a range of resistance similar to that found on snow. The convenience of training on a Super Home Gym Ski Trainer is hard to beat.

Measurable, Comparable Results

The integrated Performance Monitor gives you immediate feedback on every pull you take, as well as cumulative performance data at the end of your workout. The monitor self-calibrates, allowing you to compare each pull, interval and workout.

Perfect for Adaptive Athletes and Injury Rehab

The Super Home Gym Ski Trainer provides low impact exercise that is easy on the knees and ankles. The Super Home Gym Ski Trainer easily accommodates athletes with lower leg injuries: injured athletes can sit or kneel, reducing the amount of leg involvement, while training at normal intensity and duration using just the upper body and core. It’s a great training tool for adaptive athletes, too!

What is the difference between the two-arm pull and one-arm pull?

The Super Home Gym Ski Trainer is designed for both double-poling—the two-armed pull common to all variations of Nordic skiing—and the alternating arm motion used in Classic Nordic ski technique. The double-pole involves more of the larger muscle groups, resulting in increased aerobic demand, calorie burn, and an overall higher quality workout. The classic alternating arm motion is also a good workout, while using a slightly different and smaller set of muscles.

How do my legs get a workout with the SHG Ski Trainer?

When using the double-pole technique, each pull engages the arms, shoulders, core and legs in a downwards “crunch,” using body weight to help accelerate the handles. You’ll see the legs raising the body weight on each stroke, much as they do when skiing on snow. A workout on the Super Home Gym Ski Trainer provides a true full-body workout that exercises the legs at least as hard as the upper body.

The classic (alternating arms) ski technique uses fewer muscles than double-poling, and generally has less leg involvement, but it is an excellent ski-specific training for Nordic skiers.

Why does the SHG Ski Trainer have strapless handles? Can I use my own grips with straps?

The Super Home Gym Ski Trainer is often used by multiple users in an indoor environment where the typical ski pole strap would be cumbersome to adjust between users, and difficult to keep clean. To alleviate this, the Super Home Gym Ski Trainer has strapless grips. The “shelf” at the bottom of the grip rests against the heel of your hand similar to how a strap would transfer the load to your hand. The surface of the grip is covered with the same durable material we use on our rowing oar grips. This material has good grip properties and does not absorb water.
