The AEKE fitness bench is designed to support a body weight of up to 100 kg and handle a maximum training load of 100 kg. Featuring a close-fitting leg design for enhanced stability and safety, it is constructed from high-quality U-shaped stainless steel, guaranteeing durability and withstanding loads of up to 625 kg without deformation.
How long is the cable and what is its elasticity?
The effective length of the cable pulley is 2.5 meters, which should be more than sufficient to perform standing triceps pull-ups and other common exercises.
What is the expected stroke range of the K1?
With an estimated daily use of 2 hours, the product offers a long lifespan of up to 14 years.
What is the maximum resistance when weightlifting on the AEKE K1?
The total resistance is 220 lbs (100 kg), 110 lbs (50 kg) per arm.
How many hours or millions of pulley operations has the engine's pulley system undergone in pressure tests?
We subjected the AEKE K1 to a stress test with 20 million pull cycles. This is the limit of our tests and not the maximum performance of the device. Regarding expected lifespan: With 2 hours of daily use, the device would last almost 14 years, based on a total of 10,000 operating hours.
How many power modes are there?
Concentric mode
- Description: In this mode, the resistance during the lifting phase corresponds to the set weight, while it is lower during the return phase.
- Recommended use: This mode is ideal for anyone who wants to increase their muscle strength or focus on explosive training.
Eccentric mode
- Description: The resistance is less than the set weight during the lifting phase, but remains the same during the return phase.
- Recommended use: Perfect for those who want to build muscle mass (hypertrophy) and improve joint stability.
Constant power mode
- Description: A standard mode in which the resistance remains constant during both the lifting and return phases.
- Recommended use: The most common and versatile mode, ideal for general training and fitness.
Rowing mode
- Description: The initial resistance is set to the desired weight, but increases when the pull is made faster.
- Recommended use: Ideal for rowing-like exercises, standing or sitting on a bench, and for improving cardiovascular endurance.
Elastic mode
- Description: The initial resistance corresponds to the desired weight, and the resistance increases as the range of motion is expanded.
- Recommended use: Perfect for gradually increasing resistance and enabling deeper muscle stimulation within a controlled range of motion.
What are the dimensions of the Smart Grips?
Dimensions: approx. 136 mm × 33 mm × 33 mm
Weight: approx. 152 g
Charging method: USB Type-C
Charging time: approx. 4 hours
Battery life: approx. 20 hours on a full charge; approx. 6 hours when used at full power.
What is the expected stroke range of the K1?
With an estimated daily use of 2 hours, the product offers a long lifespan of up to 14 years.
What amperage must the socket supply for the device?
The AEKE K1 requires a 15 amp power outlet.
What is the maximum number of folding and unfolding cycles can the pedal withstand?
Laboratory tests under controlled conditions (cycle time: 45 seconds) showed that the folding mechanism has a durability of over 8,000 operating cycles.
Where is the AI camera located?
The camera is located approximately 5 cm directly below the K1's screen.
Is the screen prone to fingerprints?
Don't worry about fingerprints on the glass – that's perfectly normal with use! A simple wipe with a slightly damp microfiber cloth will keep the screen clean and spotless. Harsh cleaning agents are not necessary.
How long does the battery of the pressure relief device last and how can I replace it?
The battery of the pressure relief device lasts for approximately 5,000 uses. It is not rechargeable; once the battery is depleted, simply replace it with a standard CR2032 coin cell battery.
What is the recommended storage temperature for the K1? Is it safe to store it in a room that reaches up to 105 °F (40 °C)?
Storing the K1 in an environment that occasionally reaches temperatures up to approximately 105°F (40°C) is generally safe and does not affect the device's performance. However, we recommend protecting the product from direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can accelerate the wear of certain rubber components. If the K1 is not going to be used for an extended period, it is advisable to cover it with its original packaging or a protective cover to prevent the ingress of dust or insects.
Functional specifications and operating procedures
What exercises can be performed as a substitute for the lat pulldown?
To perform the exercise correctly, you will need a fitness bench. The specific steps are:
- Make sure the pedal is securely mounted to ensure stable support.
- Lie flat on the fitness bench and keep your body stable.
- Pull the handles towards your sides.
This movement simulates the movement pattern of a lat pulldown and allows the shoulder joint to adduct close to the frontal plane.
How do you perform the lower body exercises correctly?
The device comes with a professional barbell for lower body exercises such as squats and deadlifts. It also includes an ankle strap that can be used for lateral leg kicks and other lower body movements.
How does the rowing function work?
Currently, there are two ways to perform rowing exercises with the AEKE K1:
- Rowing while bent over in a standing position
- Rowing while lying on your stomach on a fitness bench with an adjustable backrest.
Does the AEKE K1 support horizontal movement functions?
By using a fitness bench or adjusting body position and angles during training, the K1 enables fully horizontal exercises such as bench presses, seated rows, or bent-over rows.
Does the Pilates course focus on training with a fitness chair or on exercises on a mat?
The Pilates program offers a comprehensive training program that includes both bodyweight exercises and specialized exercises using the fitness bench and the AEKE K1. This versatile approach allows the training to be adapted to individual preferences and fitness goals.
Does AEKE K1 charge a membership fee?
No subscription is required. With the AEKE K1, you receive lifetime free access to all features, including future courses and updates.
Where is user data stored? Is the AI camera secure?
Your personal data is securely stored on AEKE's servers and protected by encryption, ensuring its confidentiality and preventing data leaks. This data is used solely for creating personalized course recommendations.
The AI camera captures only real-time motion data. No video recordings are created, stored locally, or uploaded to servers, thus ensuring complete data privacy.
How does the 43'' 4K screen differ from other smart home gyms?
The AEKE K1 features a 43" 4K Ultra HD display, which is significantly larger and sharper than the screens of most smart home gyms. This size and resolution provide a particularly immersive training experience – movements are easier to follow, visual cues are clearer, and during classes it almost feels like a real trainer is working out right next to you.
Can the K1 be used on carpets? Are there any special precautions to take?
We do not recommend placing the K1 directly on carpeted floors, as the additional friction can interfere with the pedals when folding them in or out. If you must use the device on a carpet, please manually support the pedals during these movements to ensure smooth and safe operation. This will prevent the resistance caused by the carpet and provide a better overall experience with the K1.
How do I move the K1 safely?
To move the K1, stand behind the device and firmly grip the frame with both hands. Tilt the device backward at an angle of approximately 20–55° until the wheels touch the floor, and then carefully roll it to the desired location. This method ensures stable and safe movement of the device.
Can the cables be used when the foldable part is folded in?
For optimal performance and to prolong the lifespan of your AEKE K1, we do not recommend using the cables while the device is folded. When the pedals are folded, the folding mechanism limits the cables' full extension, and using them in this position can cause unnecessary strain or damage the mechanism.
Is there a monthly subscription? Will AEKE ever require one in the future?
No. The AEKE K1 does not require a monthly subscription, and all training content is permanently free. We are committed to keeping the K1 experience completely subscription-free—not just now, but in the future. Even if we introduce special courses or guest instructors later, these will also be offered at no additional cost. There are no hidden fees, no locked features, and no paid add-ons.
