The machine

The NRTHRN Trainer.

A patented machine built for cross-country skiers, engineered for full-body strength, cardio, and mobility, with no impact.

The original

It was built for cross-country skiing, one of the world's most demanding endurance sports. We adapted it for anyone who wants to train like an athlete, without the snow, the cold, or the impact of running.

Using the NRTHRN Trainer
How it works

One machine. More than fifty movements.

The NRTHRN Trainer is a patented machine found only in our studios. One seamless, full-body motion gives you more than 50 movements across strength, cardio, and mobility, all low-impact. Double Poling is where you start.

In the moment

Feedback as you train.

Every NRTHRN Trainer has a tablet that shows your effort in real time. As you train, the screen shifts through color zones based on how hard you're working, and the live numbers give you instant feedback in the moment, so you always know when to push and when to ease off.

The science

The engine of longevity.

Cross-country skiers consistently record some of the highest VO2 Max values ever measured. VO2 Max, your body's ability to use oxygen during exercise, is one of the strongest predictors of long-term health and longevity. The NRTHRN Trainer brings that style of training indoors in a low-impact format, helping you build and maintain your engine for decades to come.

Beyond the studio

Built for life beyond the studio.

Strength built in every plane of motion carries into everything else you do. By training forward and back, side to side, and through rotation, the NRTHRN Trainer develops the kind of strength, balance, and coordination that translates beyond the studio. Whether you're skiing, running, golfing, hiking, or simply moving through everyday life, the work you do here goes with you.
