My environment / prerequisites:
I am Ball athletes have kept always on a good level right fit. Most in gymnasiums, then they're in gyms, while running in the woods and from the very beginning in the home. First, as a teenager with a weight bench from the hardware store with cement filled weights. Then, as the motivation somewhat subsided, I decided for a Kettler Multi-Gym. None of these power stations, which now also so hot, but a - promoted "Total Gym" clone, which by its foldable bench even a corner was better than the "original" for the Chuck Norris on TV at night - no longer available , It was my hitherto best decision, because weight training, I was always good, the deflectable cables I could do all sorts of movements and therefore train all major muscle groups, as well as all supporting muscles including the rotators and thus also prevent injuries in ball sports. That thing is still with my parents, where I moved out a long time and my father uses it three to four times a week now. Since I am first of all pulled 450km west and have lived in a small apartment, I have decided not to take it.
With a new job in a new city and less time to exercise and less motivation, especially when it is colder in the evening to go for moving out, was once again a decision for apartment suitable for fitness equipment. At the moment I'm living in a larger apartment. Attic, two-story gallery. The neighbors should naturally undisturbed can spend your evening - so nothing sound. An elliptical machine I ordered recently, endurance training for cold days was so so covered. It therefore lacked only one device with which I can still train my strength. Barbell and dumbbells I have, but I suppose currently rather unmotivated in his hand.
I remembered several workouts with TRX bands two years earlier at the fitness coach my former team. The first envisaged Kettler Axos power station for 460 euro was therefore just as challenged as the still available "Total Gym" -Clones of Christopeit etc. around the 120 euros to 150 euros. Firstly, in spite of everything less exercises and variations were given with these multifunctional devices, on the other hand this a lot more space in my apartment would take as sling trainer.
So I examined the market of sling trainer accurate, saw all the possibilities to me. From DIY on cheaper, static belts, to sling trainers with pulley. I watched countless videos on the net and swayed to the circuit between the static Kettler, Okami, Blackthorn or the TRX Force or the aerobis aeroSling Elite with pulley. If I had wanted to take money in hand, then I wanted the perfect solution. For the first three of said price by 50 euros. For the Force the Trainingsapp with motivating 12-week program and the extremely high quality finish talking. For the elite, the pulley and also the quality of the materials used language. And the deflection of the decision ultimately made. Simply allow again a lot more options, makes training even more unstable. If I wanted to be happy in the long term, so I said to myself, then I need a aeroSling.
One last crucial point was then enter the Support / Service. When I came to the aerobis site to inform me further if I should now take the elite or even the elite plus, popped in a chat window that I used without further ado to make further advise me. And the advice was really first class. So good that I even ordered the thing during the conversation. And two hours later it was in the Amazon elite plus already the status "dispatched". That shows the enthusiasm with which the team stands behind its product.
Why the Elite plus?
The idler pulley was better for me the decisive factor in relation to the Basic Pack. T-Mount I need not (yet) as the anchor sling can be attached to my wonderful spiral staircase. Foot straps are both going in plus are still the Flex clips for quick changing it. So the plus. If indeed the Ultrapulley can order also to Basic, but why should I need another guide roller?
The Workout
My decision, I should not regret. Material is truly indestructible. First workouts with the Virtual Trainer app under iOS made saumäßig fun and have really challenged me. Anyone who has ever done crunches 4 passes with the following 4 sets Mountain Climber in 30 sec load / 20 sec pause, know what I'm talking about. 20 minutes training a day rich because of perfect, I end up getting soaking wet when I came out of the pool. The training is extremely quiet - what is there already squeaking, creaking, rumbling or something similar? For Mietwohnugen ideal - if you can attach the rope. That was a question I had to ask myself too, because all the doors open to the larger space down, that is, where I would train. And so is the door anchor rather the worse choice. T-mount would be possible in two places, as there is a concrete wall. However, I do not want to drill, if avoidable. The spiral staircase turned out, however, as the optimum solution: I can move freely, even under the anchor, and thus make even vertical exercises like pull-ups or dips. Training sometimes feels more like a game to, as when you as a child rumgeklettert somewhere or hand over hand. And the next day then you have sore muscles in places where you would never have guessed a muscle. A great feeling.
Is it worth the money?
For the material certainly not. But that should be clear. Nevertheless, I have decided. Because at least everything here is offered in the highest quality. Materials and workmanship are top. I do not think that the thing can go wrong at some point, if I use it for what it is intended. Of course, there is the idea, the excellent service and ultimately you end a training device that I would never exchange it for a Kettler for 460 euros. Never. And that is worth me the money. Because it is the perfect training tool for me. Extremely flexible, extremely easy to transport, extremely effective. And extremely motivating when I come home at night.
For whom is it the right training device?
Not for inexperienced. If you have no experience with functional training, which should please contact a coach who can show that. You'Re Welcome. Does it make a right and you throughout your life happy. Even for experienced athletes a mirror or a training partner is good at the beginning to control his body board. Otherwise cheat you ultimately themselves. Otherwise no restriction. Such things are used in physical therapy and if you know what you are doing full body workout and instability is best for your body. Whether fat or thin, young or old.
Would recommend it / buy it again?
Definitely. Point.
Am I an employee / relative / ... of aerobis?
No. I live about 500km away from Cologne and program and developing online content. With aerobis I have only the conviction for this product in common.
I hope I could help you with your considerations.
