You can easily do this on your own. If you have a trainer, put a box about a little higher than pedal height next to one side (say, the right side). Then you pedal only with the left foot, while the right foot remains on the box. This forces your hip flexors to do a bit more work.

You don't need to pay $700- 1000 for something when you can get an old box or crate from the basement and get almost the same results for free.

Koffee, A while ago you was talking about purchasing a trainer. I was wandering, Which did you finally end up choosing???...
