Sculpt a stronger core, one smooth glide at a time.
Aravella brings guided, low-impact core training into your living room — build real definition without a gym, a trainer, or the strain that crunches put on your neck and back.
Core work that respects your body.
Most ab gadgets punish your spine and gather dust. The Aravella glider guides every rep along a smooth track, so the work lands where you want it — and nowhere you don't.
Guided glide
The tracked motion keeps your back supported and your core doing the lifting — no neck-cranking crunches.
Low impact, deep burn
Smooth resistance reaches the deep abdominal muscles without jarring your knees, hips or lower back.
Folds flat in seconds
145 cm of studio that tucks behind a door. Set up when you want it, out of sight when you don't.
Built to last
Powder-coated steel frame, cushioned rollers and a 2-year warranty on the structure.
Three moves. One clean rep.
Kneel & grip
Settle onto the cushioned pads and take hold of the handles, back long and shoulders relaxed.
Glide & contract
Draw forward along the rail, squeezing through your midsection as the track carries the motion.
Release & repeat
Control the return — the slow phase is where strength is built. Aim for ten unhurried reps to start.
A rail that does the thinking for you.
The Aravella's dual-roller track sets the path of every rep, so your form stays honest even when you're tired. Adjustable, foldable and sized for a real home.

Questions, answered.
Crunches load your neck and only reach the surface muscles. The Aravella's rail guides a longer, controlled contraction through the whole midsection while keeping your spine supported.

Shipping Policy
Last updated: 26 August 2026
Thank you for shopping with Aravella. This policy explains how and when we deliver your order across South Africa. By placing an order with us, you agree to the terms set out below.
Where we deliver
We currently deliver to physical addresses throughout South Africa. We do not deliver to international addresses. Delivery to remote or outlying areas may take a little longer — see the timeframes below.
If you're unsure whether we can reach your area, email us at support@aravella.co.za before ordering and we'll confirm.
Delivery cost
Delivery is free on all orders within South Africa. There are no hidden handling or surcharge fees — the price you see at checkout is the price you pay.
Dispatch & delivery times
- Order processing: Orders are dispatched within 24 hours of purchase on business days (Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays). Orders placed over a weekend or public holiday are dispatched on the next business day.
- Main centres (Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, etc.): approximately 2–4 business days from dispatch.
- Regional & outlying areas: approximately 3–7 business days from dispatch.
These are estimates, not guarantees. Delivery times can occasionally be affected by courier volumes, weather, load-shedding or events outside our control. We'll always do our best to keep you informed of any delays.
Tracking your order
Once your order is dispatched, we'll send a confirmation email with tracking details so you can follow your parcel to your door. Please check your spam or promotions folder if you don't see it.
Delivery addresses
Please make sure your delivery address and contact number are correct and complete at checkout. We can't be held responsible for delays or losses caused by an incorrect or incomplete address. If you need to change your address after ordering, contact us immediately at support@aravella.co.za — we can usually amend it before dispatch.
Someone must receive the parcel
Our courier requires someone to accept and sign for the delivery at the address provided. If no one is available, the courier may attempt redelivery or hold the parcel at a nearby depot for collection. Repeated failed delivery attempts may result in the parcel being returned to us; a redelivery fee may apply to send it out again.
Damaged or missing parcels
We pack every Aravella glider carefully, but if your parcel arrives visibly damaged, please note it with the courier where possible and contact us within 48 hours of delivery at support@aravella.co.za with photos. We'll make it right. For lost parcels, get in touch and we'll open an enquiry with the courier straight away.
Refund & Returns Policy
Last updated: 26 August 2026
We want you to love your Aravella glider. If it isn't the right fit, this policy explains how returns and refunds work. Nothing here takes away the rights you have under South African law, including the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) and the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act (ECTA).
Your 30-night home trial
Set your Aravella up, glide through a few weeks of real routines, and feel the difference. If it isn't for you, you may return it within 30 nights of delivery for a full refund of the purchase price. No awkward questions.
To qualify for a trial return, the glider should be in good, resalable condition — complete, undamaged, and returned with all pads, handles, accessories and the routine card. Normal signs of light home use are fine; we simply can't accept items that are broken, heavily worn or missing parts.
Your cooling-off right (ECTA)
Because you're buying online, South African law also gives you a cooling-off period: you may cancel your order for any reason within 7 days of delivery and return the product for a refund of the purchase price. Our 30-night trial above is more generous, but this right always applies as a minimum.
How to start a return
- Email us at support@aravella.co.za with your order number and the reason for your return.
- We'll reply with return instructions and the return address.
- Pack the glider securely — ideally in its original packaging — so it's protected in transit.
- Send it back, or wait for the courier if we arrange collection.
Who pays for return shipping
For change-of-mind and trial returns, return shipping is for your account. Where the return is because the product is defective or we sent the wrong item, we cover the cost — this is your right under the CPA.
Refunds — how & when
Once we receive and inspect your returned glider, we'll email you to confirm. If approved, your refund is processed to your original payment method within 7–14 business days. Depending on your bank or payment provider (Payfast, Ozow, card issuer or EFT), it may take a few additional days to reflect in your account.
Faulty, damaged or incorrect items
If your glider arrives damaged, is defective, or isn't what you ordered, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery at support@aravella.co.za with your order number and a few photos. Under the Consumer Protection Act, if the product proves defective within 6 months of delivery, you're entitled to have it repaired or replaced, or to receive a refund — at your choice. We cover the cost of returning defective goods.
2-year frame warranty
The Aravella steel frame carries a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, from the date of delivery. This warranty covers structural faults in the frame. It does not cover:
- Normal wear on pads, rollers, handles and moving parts;
- Damage from misuse, exceeding the 120 kg maximum user weight, drops, incorrect assembly, or use outside the product's intended purpose;
- Cosmetic marks that don't affect function.
To claim under warranty, email support@aravella.co.za with your order number and a description and photos of the fault.
Non-returnable situations
- Returns requested more than 30 nights after delivery (except where CPA or warranty rights apply).
- Products returned broken, heavily damaged or with missing parts due to misuse.
- Items marked as final sale or clearance, where clearly stated at the time of purchase.
A note on health & safe use
The Aravella glider is general fitness equipment, not a medical device. Please read the included instructions, stay within the guidance, and consult a healthcare professional before starting a new exercise programme. This section doesn't limit your legal rights regarding product quality or safety.
