VitaGlide® is adaptive fitness equipment designed for accessible, seated upper-body cardio and strength training. Its patented push-pull movement provides two workout patterns—rowing and cross-country skiing—and wheelchair users can roll directly into position without transferring.
Traditional arm ergometers use continuous circular cranking. VitaGlide® uses a horizontal reciprocating push-pull movement that engages both pushing and pulling muscle groups across the chest, back, shoulders, arms, and core.
VitaGlide® accommodates a wide range of abilities and fitness levels. It is used in rehabilitation facilities, adaptive fitness programs, universities, senior living communities, VA facilities, gyms, and homes.
The push-pull movement combines upper-body resistance with cardiovascular exercise. Independent resistance settings and levels from 0–10 allow users to customize workout intensity from very light exercise through higher-level conditioning.
Rather than continuous circular cranking, VitaGlide® moves horizontally along two tracks. Users push and pull through rowing or alternating cross-country skiing motions, engaging both the front and back of the upper body.

Absolutely. While VitaGlide® is used in rehabilitation settings, it’s equally at home in adaptive gyms, community centers, schools, senior living communities, and home environments – anywhere accessible upper-body cardio and strength training are part of the fitness mix.
Upper-body cardio provides a seated option for cardiovascular exercise and conditioning. VitaGlide® adds adjustable resistance and core engagement to that cardio workout.
Yes. VitaGlide® provides an alternative movement pattern to traditional circular arm cranking. Its horizontal push-pull motion resembles rowing and cross-country skiing and engages both pushing and pulling muscle groups.
Adaptive fitness equipment is designed to make exercise accessible to people with different physical abilities. VitaGlide® provides seated upper-body cardio and strength training and is used across fitness, wellness, rehabilitation, and home environments.
