Airofit Active Review: Entry-Level Respiratory Training with App Guidance

Respiratory contraindication note: Consult a healthcare professional before beginning respiratory muscle training if you have asthma, COPD, cardiovascular disease, or other respiratory conditions. Do not use respiratory trainers during acute illness.

Design & Build Quality

The Airofit Active shares the Pro 2.0’s form factor — a compact device with a mouthpiece and resistance housing. Build quality is equivalent to the Pro: durable plastic housing, comfortable mouthpiece, and reliable Bluetooth connectivity. The difference is internal — the Active’s manual resistance dial versus the Pro’s electronic adjustment — not in build quality.

Hygiene maintenance follows the same approach: regular mouthpiece cleaning, with replacement mouthpieces available.

Setup & Ease of Use

Setup is identical to the Pro 2.0: Bluetooth pairing with the Airofit app, baseline assessment, and guided training from day one. The onboarding experience is the same calibration process — the app adjusts guidance to your baseline capability regardless of device tier.

Manual resistance adjustment means you dial resistance settings on the device rather than having the app set them electronically. The app still guides the target resistance for each session.

Training Performance

The Active provides solid inspiratory muscle training with app-calibrated resistance targets. The manual adjustment is a genuine trade-off versus the Pro: you set resistance to the app’s recommendation rather than having it auto-adjusted. For general health and beginner-to-intermediate training, this difference is minor. For athletes targeting precise progressive overload, the Pro’s electronic precision matters.

Expiratory training is not available on the Active — this is a meaningful gap for users who want complete bilateral respiratory muscle training.

Features & Programmes

The Active provides access to the Airofit app’s core programme library — a subset of the full Pro library. Vital capacity tracking and breathing metric collection are included. Advanced protocols (high-performance athletic protocols, comprehensive expiratory training) are Pro-only.

For beginners and wellness users, the Active’s programme access is sufficient.

Battery Life

Battery life matches the Pro 2.0 — adequate for daily sessions, weekly charging typical. Not a meaningful constraint for standard training use.

App & Software Experience

Access to the Airofit app is the Active’s strongest feature — the same app interface, guided sessions, and metric tracking as the Pro 2.0 at a lower entry price. Vital capacity measurement, session history, and trend analysis are available to all Airofit device users.

Data Privacy

Same data collection and privacy terms as the Pro 2.0 — Airofit account-linked training session data. Review Airofit’s privacy policy for data storage, GDPR compliance, and deletion rights.

Value for Money

At $149 for the Airofit app experience and guided inspiratory training, the Active is reasonably priced within the Airofit ecosystem. The $130 Pro premium buys precision and expiratory capability — worth it for athletes, less so for general wellness users. Against manual IMT devices at $50–$80, the $149 price still asks users to decide whether app guidance and metrics are worth the additional spend.

Final Verdict

The Airofit Active is the correct Airofit starting point for beginners and wellness users — the app-guided experience is the product’s strength, and it is available at $149 without the Pro’s full capability. Serious athletes who want electronic resistance and expiratory training should invest in the Pro 2.0.

For users who want a simple, evidence-based IMT device without app dependency, the POWERbreathe Medic Plus at $80 is the alternative.

Who Should Buy?

Buy the Airofit Active if: You want app-guided respiratory training with progress tracking at a more accessible price than the Pro, you are new to respiratory muscle training, or you are evaluating the Airofit experience before committing to the Pro.

Skip it if: You are a serious athlete who needs electronic resistance precision and expiratory training (choose Pro 2.0), or you want a simple manual device without an app (choose POWERbreathe).
