Aeroski ski power pro Home Fitness Fun Cardio Machine

I have a hard time finding cardio I enjoy due to my knees and lower back. My favorite cardio is rollerblading. However, with our recent move, I no longer have anywhere to go to safely and smoothly rollerblade.
I recently purchased this in hopes of finding something that could come close to simulating the cardio movement I love the most. This is not a perfect fit for that movement, but it’s close enough for me. I have missed the smooth ride that works the whole body. It feels good to have that feeling back.

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.

 I absolutely love my new Aeroski! After 2 weeks I’m up to the advanced level workouts and really feel like this is a great full body low impact workout. Can’t wait to see how it improves my skiing. I am 65 years old and this is one of the most enjoyable exercise routines I’ve done! I highly recommend!! I had help putting it together but it’s pretty easy to assemble so no worries with that! Just buy it! ⛷️🎿

Packaging was attrotious, it seemed that had been repackaged ( box without adds, with gashes on it, quite dirty) fortunatelly content was properly prepared.
