Aerobic Stepper Platform

I recently started stepping again after finding a fabulous instructor on YouTube. Stepping will never be as much fun as a group class in studio, but being able to workout in my garage without the hassle of driving to a gym is worth it (and there are so few step classes near me!).I got a step at another retailer without looking closely at the dimensions, and sadly, it was a shorter step than I was used to using. I watched for a deal on this step, and happily ordered it when it was on sale.It's perfect-just what I was looking for! Nice and sturdy and exactly the right size.

It’s very easy to adjust the height from 4” to 6” to 8”. Not too heavy to handle for this 82-year-old. The surface is “grippy” enough to avoid slipping on it. I would have liked one just a few inches shorter in length than this one (it’s 42” overall, with a 35” tread), but for an active workout this is probably an ideal length. The width is perfect. I’m using it as a step platform to help my knees, ankles and hips. It’s very sturdy—-even with the length, it doesn’t “give” when I step on it.

I got this platform to perform higher impact activities to improve my bone density. This platform is safe and easy to use. I can store it in my closet and use it several times a week for plyometric exercises.I started out on the lowest level and very slowly increased the height with the risers. I feel safe and actually enjoy jumping and doing step exercises on this. The platform and risers are very stable. I have actually had a decrease of back pain after doing impact exercises. I feel more sure of my gait and feel my legs are stronger. I'm a senior citizen and this works well for me.

I bought this for my mother as i am her caregiver. she is able to do exercises while sitting down using this bench and i use it for chest presses and lunges. It's perfect!

I am generally happy with this step bench. In terms of quality, it’s equal to Reebok or Les Mills. It’s also the right length. (After studying various benches, it became apparent that many benches that looked suitable were not very long. Pay attention to the measurements! The one disappointment is that the risers do not snap onto the bench—at least mine don’t snap into place. The bench is still sturdy and does not wobble, but it’s a bit of a nuisance when it comes time to putting it away. I am used to the risers snapping to the bench. I just pick up the entire apparatus and put it away. Because these risers do not snap into place, I have to make two or three separate trips to the closet where I store my bench—one trip for the bench; one trip for 2 risers; maybe a third trip if I haven’t managed to grab all four risers at once. Given that I have a bar, weight plates, and hand weights to put away, it’s a bit of a production.

Sturdy and more than sufficient for an intense workout. Worth what I paid. Has some weight to it so that a heavier person can feel secure using the step. Functions as a proper step that one would find in any gym.

Very good construction with high quality materials. I'm a beginner at step exercise and this product gave me a very stable platform to work from. Used it right out of the box without any issue. I haven't ventured to adding the risers but if they are like the basic platform it will be very stable also.

Perfect for your home gym. Health club quality and stability.
