About StairMaster
In 1983, a Tulsa, Oklahoma company created a fitness training product line that stepped up exercise to a new level–StairMaster machines. The invention was credited for being “among the first machines to turn gyms into modern exercise arenas” by USA Today, the nation’s most popular daily newspaper. Along with PDAs, laptops, and mobile phones, StairMaster machines have been labeled among the top 25 inventions that changed our lives over the past 25 years (USA Today, May 21, 2007). In fact, it was the only fitness product on the list.
More than two decades later, StairMaster products are still hard at work in gyms and homes preparing everyone from elite athletes to people in uniform, while being mentioned almost daily in the nation’s news media and sitcoms like Seinfeld. Ed Viesturs, America’s leading high-altitude mountaineer, relies on StairMaster trainers to prepare for climbs such as Mount Everest. “I do an hour on a StairMaster with a 50-pound pack on my back after simulating climbing movements in the gym,” said Viesturs in Outdoor magazine. “These sessions hurt, but not as much as having to walk away from a climb because you weren’t fit enough.”
American hero Jim Campbell also looks to StairMaster trainers to maintain his physical readiness. A firefighter from Indianapolis, Campbell set the StairMaster StepMill record in 2006 (113.4 vertical miles in 24 hours). More than just a hobby, Campbell put his intensive training to use by rescuing a person trapped on the second story of a burning building–a feat that earned him a special commendation. Campbell joins thousands of firefighters who routinely train on StairMaster products to maintain top form. Are StairMaster machines a good solution for safe and effective lower body and cardio conditioning? Just ask each new firefighter candidate who must achieve 60 steps per minute for 3 minutes on a StairMaster StepMill while wearing a 50-pound vest and fire protective clothing (“turnouts”).

Works great. Shipping no problem. Box is big and heavy so probably need some help with it. Easy to put together once out of box. Plenty of different built in programs to keep from getting bored. Constant heart rate works great with additional polar monitor. Does not take up a lot of floor space. Would buy again and glad i did not go for a used one.

I have used Stairmaster products at my gym for years. After a tough winter and a new schedule getting to the gym has been a challenge and decided it was time to make the investment. What a great decision! The Stairmaster arrived after mutual agreement with the shipper to leave it out on the front step. I was worried that it would be too big for me to move in to the house by myself but I was wrong. A little more assembly than I expected but it was easy enough. My Stairmaster is great just like the club machine but better! I would highly recommend making the investment. Couldn’t beat the price, significantly below the list price and no sales tax!
