Hammer Strength exercise bikes

Why choose a Hammer Strength air bike?

Hammer Strength is an American brand known for heavy, high-quality strength equipment and part of Life Fitness since 1997. The brand was started by Gary Jones and grew into market leader in plate-loaded strength machines. You see that performance-oriented, athletic background reflected in the HD Air Bike: robustly built and made to withstand intensive use. Take a look at the other fitness equipment from Hammer Strength as well.

It is not for nothing that top athletes rely on Hammer Strength: all American football and baseball teams in the United States and 96 percent of the NBA teams train with equipment from the brand. You get that quality and reliability at home too with the HD Air Bike, in the form of a heavy-duty condition trainer built for the long term.

Do note: this is a performance-oriented air bike, intended for intensive condition and interval training. If you are rather looking for a comfortable, low-threshold bike to work gently on your condition or to rehabilitate, an upright exercise bike or a recumbent bike is a more logical choice.

What is the HD Air Bike and how does it work?

The HD Air Bike is a so-called air bike: the resistance is generated by a large fan wheel. The harder and faster you train, the more air the wheel displaces and the heavier the resistance becomes. As a result, the resistance is in effect unlimited and adapts by itself to your pace, without you having to set anything.

What is special about the air bike is that you train with movable arms. You push and pull with your arms while you pedal, so that in one movement you put your legs, arms and core to work. That makes the HD Air Bike ideal for an efficient full-body workout and for HIIT, in which you burn many calories in short, intensive intervals and build up your condition quickly.

What to look for with the HD Air Bike?

Scaling air resistance

With an air bike you determine the difficulty yourself with your effort. That makes it suitable for every level, from gentle warming up to maximum sprint intervals, and means you do not quickly outgrow the bike.

Full-body and HIIT

Because you use arms and legs at the same time, you train your whole body and raise your heart rate quickly. That makes the HD Air Bike eminently suitable for interval training, condition build-up and as an addition to your strength training.

Build quality and load capacity

The HD Air Bike is commercially, heavy-duty built and made to withstand intensive, repeated workouts. That makes it suitable both for the serious home exerciser and for use in a gym or studio.

Console and ease of use

A clear console keeps track of your data, such as time, speed, revolutions, power in watts, calories and heart rate, so you can properly follow your intensity and progress. With the transport wheels you also move the bike easily.

Our advice: choose the HD Air Bike if you want to train seriously and intensively and like a tough, full-body workout. If you mainly want to work gently and comfortably on your condition or to rehabilitate, an upright exercise bike or recumbent bike suits you better. Always place your training goal next to the type of bike: an air bike is made for intensity, not for relaxed cycling.

Who is the Hammer Strength HD Air Bike suitable for?

The HD Air Bike suits athletes who want to train intensively and in a versatile way:

• Dedicated athletes who like tough HIIT and interval training.
• Strength athletes who want to complement their training with effective condition training.
• Those who want to burn calories quickly with short, intensive full-body workouts.
• Gyms, studios and training centres that are looking for a heavy-duty, reliable air bike.
• Those who want an air bike for the long term, built to withstand intensive use.

If you would rather cycle comfortably and in a low-threshold way, for example for rehabilitation or gentle condition training, an ordinary exercise bike or recumbent bike is more logical. For intensive, athletic condition training, the Hammer Strength HD Air Bike offers exactly a strong combination of performance and build quality.

Frequently asked questions about the Hammer Strength HD Air Bike

What is the difference between an air bike and an ordinary exercise bike?

With an air bike the resistance is generated by a fan wheel that gets heavier as you pedal harder, and you train along with movable arms. An ordinary exercise bike has adjustable resistance levels and a fixed seating position without arm movement. The air bike is more intensive and full-body, the exercise bike more comfortable and low-threshold.

Who is the HD Air Bike suitable for?

The HD Air Bike is intended for athletes who want to train intensively, for example with HIIT or interval training, and for gyms and studios. Thanks to the scaling air resistance it is suitable for every level, but it is mainly intended for solid, full-body workouts.

Is the HD Air Bike suitable for rehabilitation or gentle training?

The air bike is mainly made for intensive training. For gentle condition training or rehabilitation, a comfortable upright exercise bike or a recumbent bike with backrest and low step is a better choice. With rehabilitation, always first consult your physiotherapist or practitioner.
