As Seen on TV Exercise Equipment – Overview:
Ok, time for another review of a small home gym machine. This time, we will be reviewing the Air Climber. You may have seen this product because it is one of those as seen on TV items that can show up on infomercials late at night. Basically this equipment’s claim to fame is that it is small, compact and should provide the user with a decent workout.
Clik here to view.
The Air Climber
As Seen on TV Exercise Equipment – Product overview:
The Air Climber is in fact fairly small, which again is good for those of you who do not have a lot of space for home gym fitness equipment. It basically makes use of two air powered pedals that one steps on… similar to a climbing machine that you would find a in a gym. Additionally this piece of equipment comes with a workout DVD, wherein the instructors put you through your paces and get your heart racing. The equipment starts at about $120 depending on where you purchase it from. The information I found on the Internet says, that it can support a full-size adult, but some users report having problems with it supporting more than 140 pounds. Additionally, there have been some complaints about problems with the air ballasts that provide support for the pedals staying inflated during workouts. Again these are issues raised by some consumers but are probably not indicative of all users.
As Seen on TV Exercise Equipment – Turin’s Review:
If you’ve spent any time reading this site, you know that I’m a big fan of small home exercise fitness equipment. I think it is important to be able to have your own home gym machines close by so that you can maximize your time and get your workouts in where your schedule allows. I am not so sure about the effectiveness of this piece of equipment though. I have never used it, but I fail to see why a simple aerobic exercise regimen or even the use of a simple step aerobic apparatus would not suffice. Again, I haven’t used this equipment, but I think that a workout derived from using this equipment would be the same as doing aerobics in your living room. Just my two cents.
If you are familiar with this piece of equipment or have used it in the past, please consider telling me about your experience with it and whether you feel it was a good investment of money and time. Cheers and good luck on your exercise goals!
