Air Ski Pro

ATE Air Ski Pro: Premium Ski Erg with Fan + Magnetic Resistance

“A Smoother Pull. A Smarter Console. A Premium Ski Experience.”

The ATE Air Ski Pro is the advanced ski erg in the ATE range, built for users who want more than raw intensity. It upgrades the standard ski trainer with a hybrid fan and magnetic resistance system, a backlit Pro console, a smoother pull-cord and bungee return, and a refined frame and fan cover. The result is a ski erg that feels smoother on every stroke, gives cleaner data, and stores neatly upright when you’re done.

Ski ergs have become one of the most important conditioning machines in modern gyms, not least because the SkiErg station opens every HYROX race.  It is not only about intensity, but also about smoothness, refinement, and better usability. From console to pull feel to storage neatness, the Pro version is built for users who want the premium option in the lineup.

Key Features of the ATE Air Ski Pro

Hybrid Pro Resistance System

Fan, magnetic and flywheel resistance work together. The fan gives the natural “harder you pull, the harder it gets” feel, while the magnetic resistance adds a controlled, adjustable base load — a more versatile feel than an air-only ski erg.

10 Resistance Levels

Dial the resistance from 1 to 10 to match your goal — lighter settings for fast, high-cadence sprints and HIIT, heavier settings for strength-endurance and longer pulls.

Backlit Pro Console

A clear backlit display tracks time, time/500 m, distance, calories, reps, strokes per minute, watts and strokes, with Bluetooth heart-rate pulse. Train in Quick Start, Target, Interval and Drag Force modes.

App Connectivity

Bluetooth FTMS compatibility lets you connect to the Kinomap app for guided, interactive sessions and workout tracking — ideal for home users and coached programmes.

Smoother Pull-Cord Mechanism

An improved pull cord with bungee return gives a smoother, more consistent rope movement through every stroke, so the pull feels refined at both low and high intensity.

Stable Base & Compact Storage

A 1200 × 600 mm base platform keeps the machine planted under hard pulls, and the standing storage design keeps your gym floor tidy. Self-generating power plus 4 AA batteries means no power cable is needed.

Muscles Worked on a Ski Erg

The ski erg is an upper-body-dominant, full-body pulling movement:

• Lats and upper back — the primary drivers of the double-pole pull.
• Triceps and shoulders — pressing the handles down and back.
• Core and abs — the hip hinge and crunch through each stroke.
• Glutes and legs — a slight knee bend and hip drive add power.
• Heart and lungs — very high-intensity cardiovascular conditioning.

Benefits of the ATE Air Ski Pro

1. HYROX-ready conditioning: Train the SkiErg station that opens every HYROX race, and build the upper-body engine the whole race demands.
2. Very high-intensity, low-impact cardio: Push your heart rate high without the joint impact of running — ideal for HIIT, sprints and fat-burning sessions.
3. Premium, smoother feel: The hybrid resistance and refined pull-cord make every stroke feel controlled and consistent.
4. Accurate tracking and testing: Pace per 500 m, watts and stroke rate give repeatable numbers for benchmarks, intervals and progress tracking.
5. Space-efficient: A compact footprint and standing storage make it easy to fit into home gyms, studios and busy commercial floors.
6. Suitable for all levels: Beginners and elite athletes use the same machine, simply by adjusting resistance and effort.

How to Use a Ski Erg

1. Set up: Stand on the base platform facing the machine, feet hip-width apart, and choose your resistance level.
2. Grip: Hold both handles overhead, arms extended, with a slight bend in the knees.
3. Pull: Drive the handles down by engaging the lats, hinging at the hips and crunching the core.
4. Finish: Follow through until the handles pass your thighs, with arms extended behind the hips.
5. Recover: Stand tall and let the bungee return the handles overhead smoothly, then repeat at a steady rhythm.

Sample Ski Erg Workouts

1. HYROX SkiErg simulation

Ski 1,000 m at your target race pace, then run or march for 2 minutes. Repeat 3 times, tracking your pace per 500 m.

2. HIIT sprint intervals (16 minutes)

After a 5-minute warm-up, do 8 rounds of 20 seconds all-out followed by 40 seconds easy. Cool down for 3 minutes.

3. Steady endurance (20 to 30 minutes)

Ski at a steady, conversational effort and a consistent stroke rate to build aerobic base.

Start at an intensity that suits your fitness and progress gradually. Consult a professional if you have a medical condition. HYROX is a trademark of its owners; ATE is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
