aeroSling XPE with DVD and Door Anchor

Since I was 14 (now 31) I have collected an array of home gym equipment ranging from York dumbells to running machines but this suspension trainer is absolutely phenomenal. It isn't as expensive as a TRX system but I think it is a serious competitor to the TRX brand. Whereas the other suspension trainers are fixed, this works on a pulley system so you have stabilise yourself more. With the added carabiner, this can be taken out and about and wrapped round posts and trees if needed. Local football cross bars are ideal! I would recommend this to anyone who loves fitness. The delivery time on this was perfect too.

Very effective and easy to get into the swing off, am slowly building up a range of exercises which are providing a very nice full workout. As mentioned by another reviewer it is recommended that the user watches the included dvd first for optimal performance. As well as the dvd it also comes with a chart illustrating the different exercises that can be performed with this system and a cheap bag to carry it in. It is easily connected, dismantled and portable but I would strongly recommend doing a bit of a recce before purchase as this device can only be fitted against the opening side of the door; the only doors I have that fulfil this requirement open into a hallway or landing, most opening into the room itself rendering it unuseable in bedrooms, lounge etc. Not ideal unfortunately, but that's the integral design.

This is simple idea. Use your bodies own weight and resistance to build up core body strength and exercise your cardio vascular system. It hooks easily on to any solid door, as long as you have the space to deploy the straps you're ready to go. The DVD which comes with the product is a little basic, and I found the voice a little annoying. 2 slight caveats, I have seen others say it is "lightweight", compared to dumbells etc it is, but it will not aid your baggage allowance if you take it on a flight, also prolonged use of the hard handles is wearing. Weight lifters gloves are a must, perhaps on the next version a more cushioned grip will be available.

Some products are simple to use and you buy them with hopeful intent. Even with intent some end up as a clothes horse (think exercise bike or cross trainer even running machines) but with this exercise system there is no chance of this happening and for me that is a huge part of the appeal. It packs away into its own bag and can slip into luggage or an overnight bag and allows you to exercise wherever you are and again this just adds a massive plus. I think it's the kind of exercise system that should appeal to people that are interested in staying or getting fit and have a certain amount of self discipline as like all exercise it takes commitment. For me it's excellent and I recommend it.

This is a useful toolkit for home gym or gym on the go. All items are foldable and lightweight, but give you a lot of variety in terms of different exercising routines. There is a DVD included which gives a few ideas on how to use different tools. It is possible to have a gym like workout with these tools without going to one.

The beauty of this system is that the control lies with you rather than the equipment. If you are unfamiliar with this kind of suspension training, the main focus is using your own body weight to ensure an effective workout that doesn't overtax your muscles. The door anchor allows you to train in any room without the usual fear of the door flying open or being unable to support the weight of the equipment. It also serves, initially at least, as an inhibitor to overtraining as you have to get used to how much pressure you can exert. I found it easy to use especially once you have looked at the DVD and for someone who hasn't used this system, or indeed trained in many years, it has been a useful reintroduction to weight training.

It took me a little while to figure out how to attach the aeroSling to my door since the instructions aren't particularly clear and I was trying to attach it to the wrong side. It needs to fit against the opening side of the door, which I didn't realise until I watched the DVD to get a clue. I injured my knee a few months ago and am still recovering, so a lot of my regular leg exercise has been difficult recently. With the aeroSling I've been able to regain some of my strength and it makes a good alternative to the other exercises I do at home - pullups, squats, situps, etc. You'll notice a lot of muscles you wouldn't normally use in those exercises starting to burn since you're constantly balancing/stabilising. My problem is that I live in a small flat with a limited amount of doors and space, so when I want to use this I have to block the hall running from the living room to the kitchen, which isn't ideal. However, it doesn't take too long to put up or take down. The sling comes in a handy bag and it packs away nicely, making it a good option for travelers who can't do without exercise. Overall, I recommend it, but make sure you have space and the right door arrangement.

I don't have space at home for a weights based gym so when I came across the idea od suspension training I was very impressed. This is where you are the resistance that you are working against. The aeroSling XPE is a very affordable way to get into his form of training. The package contains a DVD and I do strongly advise you look at this first; don't just hang your trainer over the door and start exercising! The trainer itself comes in a nice carry bag which keeps everything nice and tidy. After unpacking, you can sling the suspension part of the kit round any handy frame or you can jam it into a door with the door anchor. This is where my first dilemma came; all my door open into the room and I only have 1 door I can actually use with the XPE and that is into the living rom. Not the best place to work out, but when you realise that is the only drawback I came across you see how good a piece of kit this really is. I am having a great time working through the different exercises and have to say this really is a great piece of kit especially at the price.

Für mich war wichtig, dass der Schlingentrainer sich auch an hohen und/oder dicken Ästen befestigen lässt. Bei vielen anderen Produkten erfährt man durch Nachfrage, dass die Befestigungsschlinge nur so um die 50 cm lang ist. Hier ist es ein Meter, man kann also auch Äste o. ä. leicht über Kopfhöhe wählen. Verarbeitung ist top, soweit ich das beurteilen kann. Die Umlenkrolle ist schon beim Verstellen der Länge (nur auf einer Seite notwendig) praktisch, zudem für Übungen, bei denen die Arme in Gegenrichtung bewegt werden. Im Nachhinein scheint mir aber der billigere Trainer derselben Marke (heißt Blackthorn) zumindest zum momentanen Angebotspreis eine nicht so viel schlechtere Alternative zu sein. Das mit der angeblich so stark erhöhten Instabilität empfinde ich nicht so sehr. Die teureren Versionen haben den Vorteil der wechselbaren Griffe, wiegen aber mehr und nehmen mehr Platz ein. Der XPE passt bestens in meinen sehr kleinen Laufrucksack, denn dass man draußen und unterwegs trainieren kann, finde ich beim Schlingentraining sehr wichtig. Bei mir war es ein (tadelloses) Warehouse-Angebot.

Great Product. I have 5 in my Studio

Ich beschäftige ich schon länger mit dem Produkt Schlingentrainer, da ich gerne zu Hause trainiere und auf der Suche nach etwas war, was mir nicht den ganzen Raum verschandelt :=) Der aeroSling zählt zu den allgemein empfohlenen Produkten und mir reicht diese Ausführung absolut. Er ist schon stabil und funktioniert einwandfrei. Die Übungen auf dem Poster sind einfach, verständlich und für den Anfang absolut ausreichend. Ich mag am Schlingentrainer, dass der Schwierigkeitsgrad, durch die eigene Körperhaltung bzw. den Abstand zum Aufhängungspunkt, reguliert werden kann - so wird's auch nicht langweilig. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die Zuhause etwas für sich machen wollen und nicht allzu viel Geld in die Hand nehmen möchten.

genau genommen seit es dieses System im Ursprung in der Elite-Variante gibt trainiere ich selbst und mit meinen Kunden mit dem aeroSling. Perfekt. Viel besser und vielseitiger als das TRX Suspension. Absolut verschleißfrei durch die Umlenkrolle und damit lassen sich ohne großes Aufhebens auch Rotationsstabilität und die Rotationsmobilität hervorragend trainieren. Die vorliegende Version ist leicht, klein, überall einsetzbar.

gute Geräte kosten wohl, dieses hier war es mir wert. Klare Empfehlung meinerseits. Warum muss man hier eigentlich so viel schreiben wenn es mit wenig Worten gesagt ist?
