Works great!
"After an initial pickup, Force USA shipped me another unit and everything is working just great! One of the best workouts you can do is the Ski Erg or trainer."
The Force USA® Ski Trainer delivers one of the most demanding cardio workouts you’ll ever face—without the joint strain. Simulating cross-country skiing, it combines low-impact movement with high-intensity output, training your legs, arms, and core in every stroke. Whether you’re chasing endurance, calorie burn, or raw strength, this machine brings the Nordic trails to you.
Take control of your intensity. A precision-engineered flywheel and lightweight drive cords respond instantly, with 10 adjustable resistance levels to match your effort. Pull harder and it pushes back—fast. Use double pole or alternating techniques to hit every muscle group.
And the design makes it effortless to use. Slip-resistant handles keep every pull secure, while the stable base locks you in for perfect form. Easy assembly gets you training in minutes, and the compact 84" height fits comfortably under standard ceilings—making it ideal for garages, apartments, and studio gyms.
The Ski Trainer is built for serious performance. Smooth, lightweight cords deliver a consistent response on every pull, while the air-dampener flywheel system holds up through punishing workouts. From warm-ups to max-effort intervals, it’s engineered to stay consistent no matter how hard you train.
Portability is built right in. Transport wheels make it simple to move around your space, and the included stand lets you go freestanding or mount it to a wall to save even more room. With a compact footprint and upright design, storage is never an issue.
And when it comes to peace of mind, Force USA has you covered. Built to match your effort. With a lifetime frame warranty plus coverage on parts, the Ski Trainer pushes as hard as you do and never lets up. Ski-season intensity—no snow required!

"After an initial pickup, Force USA shipped me another unit and everything is working just great! One of the best workouts you can do is the Ski Erg or trainer."
"Easy to assemble very nice quality"
"Easy to assemble, looks and works great. 4 stars because the ropes retract back way too strong, I’ve been trying to adjust but it’s either too strong or too weak."
"Really enjoying my Force ski erg. A great bit of kit for the garage gym, especially at the price point. I purchased it on back order, and the communication around its estimated time of arrival was super accurate. Really happy with the product and will certainly continue to shop at Gym and Fitness."
"Just as good as the concepts & love it for my studio! Great to use in HIIT sessions & gets used a lot & still in great condition a year on"
"This machine could be amazing but it has 2 areas that need improvement. 1) the cables slip and have a crunching feeling on the way down, 2) the stroke length needs another -6 to 8 inches. I am not able to get a full stroke down. One other thing that was noticed is that the cables pull themselves back up with too much resistance. Understand some is needed but it is way more than other ski erg machines. This is a personal preference and realize others may like this feature."
"We purchased this Ski Erg Trainer because we are preparing for a Hyrox race. We chose this Brand instead of the Concept2 Brand based on the overall difference in price, approximately $350 cheaper. This brand is not as Smooth or easy to pull as the concept 2 brand however, it is just as Effective and Reliable while making you use additional Force and Strength to compensate for the workload and output. We did have a small problem with one of the Skiers but their EXCELLENT customer service Support Team Immediately responded and rectified the issue. I would Definitely buy again from this company!"
"Quality machine. However, if you’ve used a C2, this machine’s resistance is significantly different. If all you want is to hiit training, this ski trainer will be great. If you’re looking for longer endurance sessions, I wouldn’t buy this machine."
"So far so good. Affordable and well constructed. It was pretty easy to put together once it was unpacked. Really enjoyed the first workout. It was challenging to say the least but it felt great."
"Solid piece of equipment"
