Our most popular cardio equipment for your home
Crosstrainer – The joint-friendly running workout.
A cross trainer is the ideal fitness device for an effective full-body workout. It combines endurance training with muscle building and is particularly joint-friendly, as it operates without harsh impact movements. With adjustable resistance levels, the workout can be tailored to individual needs, making it perfect for both beginners and advanced users. Additionally, a cross trainer promotes fat burning, making it ideal for weight loss. Compared to a treadmill, the cross trainer operates more quietly and is often space-saving for home use. Many models offer modern features like heart rate control, training programs, and digital displays to monitor performance. Those looking to effectively burn calories and improve their fitness should invest in a high-quality cross trainer.
The elliptical trainer
The elliptical trainer is characterized by its elliptical movement, which mimics a natural and smooth motion. This unique movement ensures that both the legs and upper body are trained simultaneously while minimizing stress on the joints. Compared to traditional running or jogging on a treadmill, the elliptical trainer is particularly joint-friendly because the feet remain on the pedals throughout the workout, avoiding shocks and impact forces. This means less strain on the knees, hips, and lower back, making it ideal for people with joint issues or those recovering from an injury.
The elliptical movement reduces the risk of overuse injuries and helps improve overall fitness without overloading the body. This makes the elliptical trainer a perfect device for anyone looking to burn fat effectively while also protecting their joints.
The Stepper
A Stepper is an effective fitness device designed to simulate stair climbing. It consists of two independent foot pedals that move up and down, allowing the user to perform a continuous up-and-down motion to train their muscles. This movement primarily targets the legs, glutes, and calves, making the stepper an excellent device for lower body training.
Most steppers are equipped with hydraulic or mechanical resistance to adjust the difficulty level according to the user's preferences. Some models also feature movable handles or arm bars, which allow the integration of arm muscles into the workout, providing a full-body conditioning workout.
There are also hybrid machines, such as the Max Trainer by Bowflex or the Ascent Trainer by Matrix, that combine a stepper and elliptical trainer. These devices merge the benefits of cardio and muscle building, offering a varied, intense full-body workout that boosts endurance and maximizes fat burning.
The Stepper is ideal for anyone looking for a joint-friendly workout, as it provides a gentle yet challenging alternative to running or jogging.
the Rowing machines
Rowing machines offer an extremely effective full-body workout that enhances both strength and endurance. By simultaneously activating numerous muscle groups – including the back, arms, legs, and abdominal muscles – they are especially well-suited to strengthening the entire body and improving overall fitness. Compared to many other machines, rowing machines provide a low-impact workout that places minimal strain on the joints, as the movement is smooth and without jolts.
Training with a rowing machine is not only effective but also very versatile. Whether you're aiming to improve endurance, burn fat, or increase muscle mass, a rowing machine can help you achieve your goals. Particularly through the combination of strength and endurance, the cardiovascular system is strengthened, leading to better overall fitness.
Another advantage of rowing machines is their efficiency: Compared to many other fitness devices, you can complete a very intense workout in a short amount of time with a rowing machine. Since it burns many calories and works the entire musculature simultaneously, it's especially suitable for people looking to make quick progress. It can be easily integrated into various training plans and is ideal for both beginners and experienced athletes.
Whether you're training at home or at the gym, a rowing machine is an excellent choice to boost your physical fitness, improve strength endurance, and simultaneously reduce the risk of joint problems.
Rowing with air resistance: Dynamic training with variable intensity.
Rowing machines with air resistance offer an excellent training opportunity, characterized by dynamic resistance control and an authentic rowing experience. Unlike water resistance, where the resistance is determined by the speed of rowing, air resistance rowing machines allow the resistance levels to be manually adjusted. This enables you to control your workout individually, varying the intensity based on your fitness level and training goals, without sacrificing the natural feel of rowing.
A significant disadvantage of air resistance rowing machines, however, is the noise. Unlike water resistance models, where the sound of the water is often perceived as calming, air resistance rowing machines produce relatively loud noise during use.
A practical advantage is offered by rowing machines that combine air resistance with magnetic resistance. Particularly recommended are the rowing machines from Renegade, where air resistance is enhanced by magnetic resistance. This combination allows for comprehensive resistance control, enabling precise adjustment of workout intensity.
Rowing with water resistance
Rowing with water resistance offers numerous advantages that set it apart from other types of rowing machines, such as air or magnetic resistance. The biggest benefit of water resistance is the authentic rowing feel it provides. The resistance increases with the speed of your stroke, creating a very natural and consistent load, much like actual rowing on the water. This results in a particularly smooth motion that feels comfortable for the body and intensifies the workout.
Another advantage is the durability of the system, as water resistance rowing machines are generally very robust and low-maintenance. They provide a realistic, intense workout that is suitable for both beginners and experienced athletes, effectively strengthening the entire musculature.
Rowing with magnetic resistance
A major advantage of magnetic resistance is that it operates almost silently, which is especially beneficial when training in a quiet environment or in a multi-story building. The quiet operation creates a pleasant and focused workout atmosphere without the disruptive noises that can occur with air resistance rowing machines.
However, a downside of the magnetic resistance system is that the rowing feel is not as realistic and fluid as with air or water resistance rowers. Unlike air or water resistance, magnetic resistance does not provide progressive resistance adjustment in real-time. With water resistance, the resistance increases with the speed of the rowing, and with air resistance, it adjusts according to the intensity of the pull.
Recommended models include rowing machines from Tunturi.
Our recommendation: The WaterRower – Our most popular rowing machine
The WaterRower, a pioneer and trendsetter in water rowing, remains one of our most popular items today. It stands out primarily for its durability, timeless design, and the authentic rowing experience it offers. The WaterRower uses a unique water resistance system that increases with each stroke, creating a realistic rowing feel that closely mimics rowing on actual water. This provides a natural and effective workout that not only boosts endurance but also strengthens muscles throughout the entire body.
The design of the WaterRower is not only functional but also a true work of art. The frame is made from high-quality oak wood, giving it an elegant appearance while ensuring stability and durability. The wood material also helps reduce noise, making the training session peaceful and enjoyable, free from disruptive sounds typically associated with other rowing machines.
The durability of the WaterRower is another key advantage. Since the resistance is generated by water, no mechanical parts wear out, making the device especially robust and low-maintenance. This makes the WaterRower a long-term investment that delivers reliable performance for years to come.
Treadmills: The Real Running Experience at Home
Treadmills are one of the most popular and effective ways to train at home and improve endurance. They provide a real running experience that simulates jogging or running outdoors. One of the biggest advantages of treadmills is the ability to work out regardless of the weather, allowing you to continue your training in any condition.
Many modern treadmills offer a variety of programs and features, such as adjustable inclines, different speed settings, and built-in fitness programs designed to make your workout diverse and challenging. Additionally, some models are equipped with heart rate monitoring, Bluetooth connections, and speakers to make your training more enjoyable and personalized.
Motorized Treadmill
A motorized treadmill offers a convenient and versatile training option suitable for almost all fitness levels. It is especially beneficial if you want to do regular, long, and intense training sessions, as the motor ensures smooth movement, and many models come with additional features that make the workout more varied and effective. If you're looking for a stable, long-lasting machine to help you achieve your fitness goals, a motorized treadmill is an excellent choice.
The incline feature of a motorized treadmill allows for a more intense workout by simulating hill runs and targeting the leg muscles. Thanks to precise speed settings, you can customize your workout from steady endurance sessions to high-intensity sprints. Additionally, motors with higher horsepower can accelerate faster and maintain a consistent running motion. Shark Fitness recommends treadmills with a 3-HP motor for optimal performance.
Treadmill without a motor: The Lamellenlaufband
A motorless treadmill, also known as a Lamellenlaufband, offers a particularly natural running experience, as it is entirely powered by your own leg strength. Without electricity consumption and motor control, the speed automatically adjusts to your individual running style – ideal for an intense and effective workout.
Thanks to the special slat construction, this treadmill provides the best cushioning of all treadmills, ensuring maximum joint protection. Additionally, the curved design of many models allows for a dynamic running motion, which is especially beneficial for interval training or sprint workouts.
Another advantage is the low maintenance, as there are no motors or complicated electronics involved. Lamellenlaufbänder are therefore not only eco-friendly and durable but also offer a particularly high training intensity – perfect for ambitious runners looking to improve their performance.
The Ergometer: Your Fitness Partner for Home and Effective Endurance Training
An ergometer is one of the most popular fitness devices for cardiovascular training, fat burning, and muscle building. Unlike conventional home trainers, an ergometer allows for precise control of resistance levels in watts, offering an effective and customizable workout for both beginners and professionals.
Thanks to its joint-friendly training, an ergometer is ideal for people with knee or back problems and is often used in rehabilitation. Additionally, it is perfect for improving endurance, weight loss, and overall fitness. With various resistance systems such as magnetic or inductive braking, the workout is particularly quiet and efficient.
An ergometer is the ideal home fitness device to build stamina, burn fat, and promote health – whether for beginners or advanced users. Those looking for a high-quality and joint-friendly cardio machine for home use will find the perfect choice in an ergometer.
Ergometer and Hometrainer
An ergometer, also known as a home trainer, is a stationary exercise device with an upright seating position that allows for intense endurance training. It targets the leg muscles more, promotes calorie burning, and is particularly suitable for more athletic users. However, the sitting position may exert more pressure on the knees and back.
Thanks to its joint-friendly effect compared to running, it is also suitable for individuals with joint problems, without sacrificing the intensity of the workout. The bike ergometer is space-saving, easy to use, and can be adjusted for all fitness levels, from beginners to professional athletes. It offers an effective way to improve stamina and endurance, both in the gym and at home.
Recumbent Ergometer: Comfortable and Joint-Friendly Training
The recumbent ergometer offers a comfortable and joint-friendly training option thanks to the reclined seat position with a backrest. It is especially beneficial for people with joint or back problems, as it significantly reduces pressure on the knees, hips, and spine. The recumbent ergometer is ideal for rehabilitation training and for older individuals seeking a gentle and safe workout. It allows for effective cardiovascular training, promotes heart health, and is especially comfortable for longer workout sessions.
Compared to the upright ergometer, the recumbent ergometer provides a more comfortable, less strenuous seating position with a backrest that is especially gentle on the joints. While the upright ergometer is designed for more intense workout loads and greater muscle engagement in the legs, the recumbent ergometer is more suited for gentler, more joint-friendly training that places less pressure on the body.
The upper body ergometer: The ideal solution for rehabilitation and endurance training.
Upper body ergometer, also known as arm ergometer, arm cycle, arm bike, SKI ergometer, or SKI trainer, are specialized fitness machines focused on training the upper body muscles. Unlike traditional bicycle ergometers, which primarily target the leg muscles, upper body ergometers concentrate on the arms, shoulders, chest, and back. Upper body ergometers are not only found in gyms but also in therapeutic settings and are increasingly used in home environments. They are particularly beneficial for individuals with physical limitations, those undergoing rehabilitation, and fitness enthusiasts seeking targeted strength and endurance training for the upper body.
In the field of upper body ergometers, we recommend the Renegade Ski Ergometer, which provides effective upper body cardio training, and the NOHrD WaterGrinder, which offers a particularly joint-friendly and effective workout for the arms and shoulders due to its natural water resistance technology. Both devices are excellent for endurance training, muscle building, and rehabilitation – let us advise you on which machine best suits your needs.
The airbike: Intense full-body training for strength, endurance, and HIIT.
An airbike – also known as a wind resistance bike – is a state-of-the-art fitness machine that enables an intense full-body workout. The large air fan adjusts the resistance based on the effort applied, which makes it ideal for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) as well as combined strength and endurance workouts. It simultaneously engages the legs, arms, shoulders, and core muscles, leading to a high calorie burn and effective muscle development. Thanks to its durability and longevity, the airbike is widely used in both gyms and home training and is particularly appreciated for intense cardio and strength workouts.
Indoor Cycle: Enjoy real cycling in the comfort of your home.
The indoor cycle, also known as a spinning bike, offers an intense and varied endurance workout – ideal for training at home or in the gym. This stationary bike allows for effective cardio training through individually adjustable resistance levels and varying workout programs, strengthening both the leg muscles and the entire body. With its high intensity and realistic simulation of cycling movements, the indoor cycle is perfect for HIIT workouts, calorie burning, and cardiovascular training – regardless of weather conditions. Additionally, the spinning bike scores points for its durability, longevity, and the ability to precisely track fitness goals, making it a popular choice for fitness enthusiasts and athletes.
