About this product
Nordic-style conditioning that loads the arms, core, hips and legs in one low-impact movement. Two independent drive cords let you pull both handles together or alternate arms, and air resistance climbs naturally with your pace — so intervals, warm-ups and full-body finishers all come off the same machine without changing a setting.
- Two independent nylon drive cords, each running through its own pulley assembly for a consistent path every rep
- Air resistance that responds to pulling speed and power
- Freestanding reinforced base plate — no wall mounting or anchoring needed
- Backlit console tracking time, average watts, calories, stroke rate, split pace, total and projected metres, rest time and completed intervals
- Kinomap connectivity, plus wireless, Bluetooth and ANT+ heart rate support
- Programmable targets and intervals with 10 stored workout records

Great ski trainer
We run a workout and fitness facility. This has been a terrific addition. It is smooth and well built.
-
Great service and equipment
If any issues come up they will make it right. I had an issue with the equipment and within a few emails a new one was on the way. The machine is great.
-
Works great
Everything is working just great. One of the best workouts you can do is the ski trainer.
-
Well built and works great
Easy to assemble, looks and works great. Four stars because the ropes retract back very strongly — I have been trying to adjust it but it is either too strong or too weak.
-
Really enjoying it
Really enjoying my Force ski trainer. A great bit of kit for the garage gym, especially at the price point.
-
Top notch
Just as good as the Concept2 and I love it for my studio. Great to use in HIIT sessions, gets used a lot and still in great condition a year on.
-
Good, but not great
Quality machine. However, if you have used a Concept2, this machine's resistance is significantly different. If all you want is HIIT training this ski trainer will be great. If you are looking for longer endurance sessions, I would not buy this machine.
-
Needs improvement
This machine could be amazing but there are two areas that need improvement. The cables slip and have a crunching feeling on the way down, and the stroke length needs another 15 to 20cm — I am not able to get a full stroke down. The cables also pull themselves back up with more resistance than other ski machines, though that is a personal preference and others may like it.
-
Adequate and affordable
We bought this because we are preparing for a Hyrox race. We chose this brand instead of the Concept2 based on the price difference. It is not as smooth or as easy to pull as the Concept2, however it is just as effective and reliable, while making you use additional force and strength to compensate for the workload and output.
