Scoop® Official Website - Try The Scoop® Lateral Trainer Pedal Exercise Machine

There’s a reason your knees hurt after exercising. Treadmills, bikes and ellipticals work you in the same front-to-back plane of motion, focusing on the fronts and backs of your body and ignoring the sides. The repetitive strain and narrow focus of traditional machines can negatively impact joints, plus lead to strength imbalances that increase your fall risk.

Lateral training is non-impact and works front-to-back and side-to-side simultaneously, using more of your muscles, including some of your toughest areas like inner and outer thighs and glutes. And unlike other workouts, it targets and strengthens key muscles that support knees and hips, bringing quick pain relief to many. By adding Scoop®, you’ll build stronger knees and hips, plus get healthier, stronger- and even slimmer and more toned - without leaving your chair!

I have had bone-on-bone knee pain in my left pain for over two years and have had one cortisone injection so far to help me deal with it and hopefully delay knee replacement surgery.

I saw the Scoop online and after reading about it, I decided to give it a try to see if it would help my knee. It has been absolutely remarkable! Before I started using the Scoop, I was having trouble walking short distances, and playing with our beloved Sheltie in the yard was next to impossible. Now I can walk long distances and play with our dog, and my knee feels almost normal. I have barely any pain most days and none at all quite often. I’m not stiff when I get up in the morning or after sitting for a length of time.

I started out using the Scoop for 30 minutes three times a week. Now I use it 45 minutes almost every day. It has made an enormous positive difference in my life! I may never have that knee replacement!

Works muscles I’ve never actively engaged! Also works the mind a bit on order to get the coordination down and transition to moving in the opposite direction and develop a rhythm. The assembly was a tad less simple than I hoped for, but thankfully I did have some assistance.I like that I can move it around the home (took some trial and error before I found the ideal height of seat to use this comfortably).

As a 37 year old with dropfoot and some mobility issues, I am using it mainly to strengthen both my hips and knees.However, my Dad in his early 70’s with mid stage ALZ also seems to enjoy it as well. It’s both a good cognitive and physical exercise tool for him. Kind of at home physical/occupational therapy element.

I have chronic knee pain that, on some days, is so painful I can't walk. Even though my stationary bike is "low-impact", it is too painful for me to pedal up and down. The lateral movement of The Scoop provides a comfortable range of motion without causing stress, swelling or pain in my knees.

The Scoop is quiet enough to use while watching TV, and it doesn't disturb my spouse. It took me very little time to get used to the lateral movement. Keeping in mind that I am not well coordinated, my only suggestion is to somehow lock the pedals so they don't spin as I try to get my feet situated. However, once I get started, it is very easy and enjoyable to use and I feel like I'm getting a worthwhile exercise

I had a total knee replacement in Sept. was schedule for the other knee in Dec. I knew how important it was to move and use my new knee. I also needed to strengthen my other knee in preparation for surgery. Then we got quarantined and I was not able to leave my home. My hard work in physical therapy was about to be destroyed!

I purchased my Scoop for that reason. Boy is it amazing. With the first use, I had found that my new knee was nowhere near as strong as I thought it was...the inside of my thighs seemed strong but the outter muscles? I couldn’t even make the pedal move when in the highest position! After just 2 uses I already feel the difference. So grateful to have this handy form of exercise to keep my knees moving!

Using the "SCOOP" gets addictive! The bonus is seeing the calories burned at the end of the day!

I was worried this product might not live up to the online information. I was dreading shipping it back as this would be a hassle. Also, my husband rolled his eyes thinking I was a "sucker"! Well, with anxiety, I put it together and had a rocky start. Then I watched the video and made a few adjustments which made all the difference. The pedaling soon became smooth. The cherry on the cake is that this exercise does not flare up pain to my compromised back and knees. I will continue lateral pedaling and hope to continue improving as my knees need to get stronger. My husband is not rolling his eyes!

Just what I needed

This machine is doing exactly what I needed. My legs have gotten so weak I can barely pick up my feet. I've been waiting for knee surgery which isn't coming very fast with everything going on in our country. Meanwhile, I have been doing a couple machines at the gym, but the gym keeps closing. Both shoulders are bad so I'm really limited, I can't even use the treadmill I have at home. This little machine it taking my a bit to build up to a good sized session, but it's working with little effort on my own.

I finally found something to help post knee replacement

I have had multiple surgeries on my left knee, including a total knee replacement. My recovery has been complicated with the development of arthrofibrosis, which impaired my ability to fully bend my knee. This machine allows me to strengthen my thighs and calves, while not worrying about hurting my leg on a regular exercise bike ( I cannot do a full pedal without turning my body sideways). My family and coworkers have noticed that my walking stride is more on point and getting up from a chair has been greatly improved! Thank you....I was so impressed with my Scoop, that I bought one for my elderly dad!

LOVE MY SCOOP!!

After reading reviews and watching videos, I asked my husband to get me The SCOOP for my birthday. When it was delivered, we found it easy to assemble. I have now used it daily for one month. It has done more for my legs, hips, and core than any other exercise or piece of equipment. The inches and weight is coming off. I use it first thing in the morning while watching the news on tv and checking email. I have noticed my posture has improved. The most remarkable thing is that I can easily workout for 30 minutes (changing directions every 5 minutes) and not feel exhausted or out of breath. I love this item so much that I am encouraging friends to look into it. My husband uses it, too. We will be taking it along with us in our RV on our travels.

Life changing!

Prior to getting the scoop I was having very serious pain in my hips and I simply couldn't sleep at night as the pain was excruciating to the point I just get up. Since using the scoop each day for 30 to 40 min, I've finally been able to sleep through the night and it's helped made walking less painful and I can walk longer and farther. I wasn't expecting that so I'm definitely looking forward to what other changes will happen for me.. I'm glad I bought the scoop its been absolutely worth it.
