I ordered this product in December 2007 an early Christmas present for myself. When I received this product I was thrilled. You can get a good workout and I lost 2 lbs the first week. In January my counter stop working. I contact the vender and [] and I have not received a replacement yet. That's the only complaint that I have about this product.

Pleasantly Surprised!!!

18 Jan 2008 - Steve of New Mexico, USA writes:

I bought this product through [] figuring that I would return it if it didn't work..well to my surprise it works well!!!... It looks cheap but actually does what she says it does... it is a nice 20 and 30 minute workout and you feel the burn by the time you finish!!!....So I think I'll be keeping this Air Climber to use when I need a quick workout.

Took me by surprise!

20 Dec 2007 - Liz of New York, USA writes:

I ordered it from [] and received it in under 2wks. Used it the next day, and much to my surprise this lightweight, plastic thing gave me a workout that I was not expecting. I followed from the beginning doing the introduction, then went on to the next phase which is Super 7 Pump. After just that, I feel lots of upperback, arms, and calf soreness due to using the band. I sweat and then sweat some more! Ms. Degraf talks a lot feeling it in your butt. I think with more use and increasing the intesity, I will begin to feel it in my butt. It didn't roll around on my wood floors, though it's a bit noisy due to the chambers swapping, thats a small distraction. So far so great!

3 times could be a charm

18 Dec 2007 - jerry of California, USA writes:

I bought the airclimberand the bellows would not stay inflated. I have the 6 year warranty and they have replaced my airclimber twicw now. This third one is not working either. The bellows will not stay inflated. I called them again, and now they are telling me that I must pay for shipping to have it replaced but NO REFUND...At this writing, i am trying to contact BRenda the maker to see why the product doesn't work.

Looks can be deceiving!

14 Nov 2007 - D of Florida, USA writes:

This item was purchased as a gift, so I had no expectations. When I opened the box I thought, ok I hope my friend didn't spend alot of money because it seemed to be just a big piece of plastic with resistance bands. The instructor's voice was a little annoying but my body annoyed me more. I loved it but my knees started to hurt. I made some adjustments on the way I was pushing down, (in other words I listened to her instructions more closely) no more pain. The bands add a nice variety. I like that you can add more pressure easily for a more intense step. I work up a sweat & see quick results. My entire body feels it. I only had to refill the air once in 7 months. Great for all ages. We're thinking about ordering another one, so we can work out together. Do it CORRECTLY & you WILL see & feel results!

Air climber = $5 per minute = priceless

17 Jul 2007 - Jerry of Tennessee, USA writes:

I started using this product for the first time yesterday. I began with the highest setting (5). I did 15 minutes and it worked great. I got on this morning and 10 minutes into what was a good session it blew out. I took it apart this evening and saw the problem. One of the hoses connecting the bellows to the adjustment valve ruptured. It is an obvious defect given the rupture site was as thin as a sheet of paper whereas the other parts of the hoses are approximately 2 millimeters thick. I'm calling the infomercial folks in the morning.

If it works

17 Jul 2007 - Merry of Florida, USA writes:

The total package is reasonable. It is better than trying to spend hundreds of dollars on something that really does not work or you never use. The product is light and you can take it anywhere to work out with a DVD player. I am 60 and don't need heavy equipment and I have bad knees. I do not do over 20 minutes a day. I really would have liked options for more work outs and a follow up program.

Love it

16 Jul 2007 - Christine of Oklahoma, USA writes:

I've had this product for a couple of months. It looks easy on television but at home I found I could only do 7 minutes the first time and I had previously been training with a trainer at my gym so I am in good shape. The motion takes getting use to, like stepping on a treadmill for the first time. Once you get the hang of it, you can find the rhythm that works to get to your target heart rate. There is a noise from the air being pushed out of the bellows, but it is not loud enough to wake a sleeping person in the next room. It is very light which I like because it can be put away easily. The plastic is sturdy. It is a great workout and much more fun than a treadmill. My only complaint is that the bellows do not seem to inflate as much as they do on the infomercial.

Great while it lasted

15 Jul 2007 - Marvin of Kansas, USA writes:

It took about 3 weeks for my Air Climber to arrive, and I immediately put it to good use. I was able to follow along with each of the video sessions - alternating 1 each day - and got a great aerobic workout. I have very bad knees, and am 69 years old, but feel very good with this exercise. However, right after the 60 day warranty expired, the air began to diminish and now 2 weeks later, there is none in the bellows. So, I will be testing the value of the 6 year extended warranty very soon.

Don't waste your money...

30 Jun 2007 - Mel of Pennsylvania, USA writes:

Great concept, poor workmanship. I had hopes of a great workout, wrong. I tried this and my knees and ankles hurt. It offered little resistance even on the highest setting. The bellows have a lot to be desired. Say yourself the money. I'll keep using my treadmill.

Loving this Product

26 May 2007 - Deborah of England, UK writes:

Bought the air climber just over a week ago, received it within 3 days. I have now been using the air climber now for 2 days and doing 2 x 20 minutes workouts, one in the morning and one in the evening. I can honestly say this product is great. I am already on a calorie controlled diet and losing weight on that. But really wanted this product to burn fat and tone my body. It certainly is a low impact workout. I also have the lateral thigh trainer and found that it was hard on the knees. Not the air climber. I am going to continue using the air climber for the next few weeks and see what kind of results i get. The workout DVD is great and has 4 different options for your workout.

It's Awful, Cheap, and a Waste of Money

9 May 2007 - Elle of California, USA writes:

For the money they charged, this product is so not worth it. It came in one large box with no packing material wrapped in clear plastic. The horror stories about broken pieces are probably not true --the unit doesn't have many parts that could break easily on shipping. Once I got the bellows inflated, I stepped on; it was so flimsy. I felt there was no way it could give me a good workout after moving my legs on it up and down for a few minutes. There is also the loud, annoying hiss of air coming out of rear as you're pumping the bellows. The unit is awful, cheaply constructed, and not worth $112+ shipping for being 100% plastic. I'm sending the Air Climber back on my own dime to make sure I can track its return and get credited back my money. This piece of equipment is a rip off. Buyer Beware. Not recommended!!!

Good Workout!

22 Apr 2007 - Beth of Missouri, USA writes:

I ordered the air climber and recieved it 2 weeks later. Today was the first chance i had to use it and i loved it! I ran track in high school and injured my knees so i am unable to run. This is a great, low impact exercise, yet effective. I was worried about the cost, but it is great. It is good for those who don't have a lot of room to work out in. It is a little noisy from the air refilling in the hydrolics, but after a while you tune it out. Brenda is a little anoying at first, but you get used to her to. I would recommend it!

what to think?

11 Apr 2007 - Cindy of Washington, USA writes:

I liked the feeling of this workout, it seems fun. It is so loud though! I have to wait until I'm alone to use it. Does anyone else have this problem? If noise isn't a concern, go for it. However the air noise coming out is too loud for me.

Pleasantly surprised

2 Apr 2007 - Kristie of Wisconsin, USA writes:

I owned the lateral thigh trainer but it was very jerky. I've only had it a week, but when I feel my thighs burning, my lower abs tighten up, I sweat, and my heart rate increases. It's smoother than the lateral thigh trainer and doesn't hurt my knees. It's like having each foot on a trampoline, without taking up my entire living room. It's very sturdy. I'm not overweight, so no weight loss claims here. Note: if you don't have good balance, be careful have a chair or wall behind you like the manual says. I have decent balance but I find myself having to think about it, which I guess is good for my abs. I haven't done the videos but I do it in front of the tv or with music. Overall, I am really happy with it.

AirClimber - Instrumental

27 Mar 2007 - Jean of Florida, USA writes:

The AirClimber machine, the meal plans, the dvd workouts . have all been instrumental in changing my body, my mind and above all, my heart. So for all that, thank you, thank you and thank you. Last night while my husband and kids were sound asleep, I decided to clean out my closet. I picked up a dress that I haven't worn over 7 years. This dress is a size 3/4 and I've been wearing sizes 8/9. I was in sheer shock to find that it fit! I was amazed how in just one month, my whole body had already transformed.

AWESOME

18 Mar 2007 - Karen of Massachusetts, USA writes:

I have a variety of exercise equip but I find Air Climber to be the most affective. Total body workout in minimum time. This is easy on the knees also. I owned this back in 1993 had it for 10 yrs used it at least 6 times a week and also through 3 pregnancy's unfortunately the bellows wore out. I was so excited to see this back on the market. This time I bought the warrenty. So worth it!!!
