Ski trainer - Air resistance

PH Fitness Ski Trainer – Air Resistance Ski Machine for HIIT, CrossFit & Hyrox | Free-Standing or Wall-Mounted

The PH Fitness Ski Trainer comes in two versions — same machine, same flywheel, same air resistance, same workout. The only difference is how you set it up.

Choose the free-standing version with floor plate if you want to be able to move the machine or don't have a fixed training space. Choose the wall-mounted version if you have a fixed training space and want to make use of every centimetre of floor.

Both versions are available below via the product options.

Progressive air resistance — automatic, continuous, no buttons

The PH Fitness Ski Trainer works like a professional ski erg: the harder and faster you pull, the heavier the resistance gets. The flywheel responds directly and continuously to your effort — no buttons, no settings, no interruptions. Every pull is automatically calibrated to your output, so the machine is just as suitable for a calm, controlled warm-up as for a maximum Hyrox interval.

This is air resistance in its purest form. The only thing that determines the intensity of your workout is you.

Full-Body Training — everything at once, without stressing your joints

The vertical double-pull movement simultaneously activates arms and shoulders, upper and lower back, core and abs, glutes and hamstrings, and hips and legs. One movement. The whole body. That's why the ski trainer has a permanent place in professional CrossFit boxes and Hyrox facilities: it is one of the few cardio machines that trains strength, explosiveness and endurance at the same time in a low-impact movement.

HIIT, CrossFit and Hyrox — built for intervals

The automatic air resistance makes the PH Fitness Ski Trainer ideal for short, explosive intervals. Maximum output for 20 seconds, full recovery, repeat. The resistance adapts every second — you don't need to set anything between sets. That is exactly the training structure Hyrox athletes need for their ski erg splits, and that CrossFitters use in metcon WODs.

Choose your version

Free-standing with floor plate — for maximum flexibility

The free-standing version stands on a sturdy non-slip floor plate that provides stability during the toughest workouts and protects your floor. The machine is easy to move — ideal if you train in a shared space, want to put the machine away after use, or simply don't want to drill holes in the wall. Set-up takes 20 to 30 minutes.

Choose the free-standing version if you value a flexible set-up over a fixed installation.

Wall-mounted — for maximum floor space

The wall-mounted version has no floor plate or stand. With the included fixing materials, you mount the machine to the wall in 20 to 30 minutes — concrete, brick or a timber wall construction with sufficient load-bearing capacity. The floor underneath stays completely free. The machine feels like a fixed part of your training space, just as it does in a CrossFit box or Hyrox studio.

Choose the wall-mounted version if you have a fixed training space and want to make use of every centimetre of floor.

Both versions deliver identical training performance. The flywheel, air resistance, cables, handles and LCD display are the same on both.

Ergonomics and comfort

The cable height is adjustable, so both shorter and taller users train at the optimal pulling angle. The ergonomic non-slip handles give a stable, sweat-proof grip throughout the workout. The smooth cable drive provides a fluid, jolt-free movement that keeps the motion controlled and makes long sessions possible.

LCD display — follow every workout in real time

The built-in LCD display shows training time, distance covered, calories burned, pulls per minute, total pulls and training intensity. With real-time data you train more purposefully, keep track of your progress and work faster towards measurable goals.

Who is the PH Fitness Ski Trainer for?

For home athletes looking for effective full-body cardio training without stressing their joints. For CrossFitters and Hyrox athletes who want to improve their ski erg splits at home with a permanent or movable set-up. For personal trainers who coach clients and are looking for a versatile, compact cardio machine. For anyone who trains seriously and wants a machine that grows with every intensity.

Frequently asked questions

• Are the two versions identical in terms of training?
  Yes. The flywheel, air resistance, cables, handles and LCD display are exactly the same on both versions. The only difference is how it is mounted — free-standing on a floor plate, or fixed to the wall.
• Is the machine suitable for Hyrox training?
  Yes. The ski trainer simulates the double-pole movement used in the Hyrox ski erg discipline. The automatic air resistance allows interval training at maximum intensity, directly applicable to Hyrox preparation.
• Can I use the wall-mounted version free-standing later?
  No — the wall-mounted version is designed for fixed wall installation and has no floor plate. If you may want to move it later, choose the free-standing version.
• Which walls are suitable for wall mounting?
  The mounting works on concrete, brick and timber wall constructions with sufficient load-bearing capacity. If in doubt about the load-bearing capacity of your wall, we recommend consulting a professional for installation.
• Is the machine suitable for beginners?
  Absolutely. Automatic air resistance is naturally accessible — you start calmly and the resistance grows with your effort. No settings are needed to get started.
