Does any of you have any experience with the Vasa Trainer? www.vasatrainer.com/.../whatis.php It looks to be specific to swimming. I would like to know about its efficiency compared to a more generic Lat Pull Down machine having high & low pulleys. Thanks very much in advance for any advice.

    Originally posted by aquageek I have nothing against this particular device but as with all home fitness equipment, it seems to generally end up being a very expensive clothes collection device within a few months of purchase. Actually, I am NOT convinced by this Vasa trainer device. I am looking for experiences or testimonies to verify if this device is truely unique and valuable in terms of swimming training benefits. My point is that it is possible to work the same muscle groups using other ways which don't require such an expensive device. The fact that the Vasa trainer mimics swim movements doesn't necessarily mean that it train muscles better than traditional weight training devices. If any one has already tried both the vasa trainer and tradional gym techniques, I would appreciate to share your experience.
