I have been loving this machine! As a new mom I appreciate the quietness as it makes working out a lot easier! I was surprisingly easy to set up and has been a great strength trainer.

I am a mom of two and getting to the gym or going on hikes can be tricky. This stair climber makes it easy for me to get in a quality workout at home with my kids. It simulates a real hike and I get a great workout every time I use it.
I’ve used a variety of machines at home, and the NordicTrack Step Climber stands out. The motion feels like uphill hiking—not like a standard stair machine. That difference alone makes it worth using several times a week.
From unboxing to use, the whole process was smooth. Assembly was quick, and once it’s in place, the machine stays put and operates really quietly. I also like how little space it takes up compared to other cardio machines I’ve owned.
I’d love to see future models add a phone slot or more than one cupholder. The screen and programs are great, but the accessory setup could be improved. The recommendation to unplug it every time is a bit strange, but not difficult.
All things considered, this machine delivers a high-quality workout.

I have really liked this stepper machine. The workout you get within just a few minutes is very impressive or I’m just really out of shape haha. The assembly was actually very simple and straightforward which was nice. The assembly video QR code didn’t work but the instructions in the user’s manual were easy to follow. There were a few screws that were a little hard to get in, but overall it wasn’t bad. It didn’t take long at all to put together. It was nice that all of the necessary tools came with the machine so I didn’t need anything else. The stepper doesn’t take up much space which is nice.
Starting it up was super quick and easy. I will say, I don’t love that there isn’t an on/off switch. My gym is a little tight so crouching down to plug it in every time is a little tricky. I liked that I could start a manual workout literally as soon as I turned it on without connecting to the internet or a subscription. The screen is a good size, I wondered if I would want the larger size but overall, I think it's great. The fan is very powerful which is nice because seriously the workout is a killer! I also really like that it has a cupholder and that it is in a really convenient spot. I wish there was a little more storage on the sides for my airpod case but it’s not a dealbreaker. Overall, I really do like this machine, it is very well built and easy to use. This is an incentivized review, I have a family member who works for the brand but these are my honest thoughts.
I have been looking for a new cardio machine and this has been a great option! The options and capabilities are just what I have needed for my training program of hiking this summer. I love my NordicTrack treadmill and this has been a great addition to my training
Great machine. I work from home and have a hard time motivating myself to get up and drive to the gym before work starts. My wife and I have loved it and it has helped us become more consistent in our workout routines already. I received this machine at a discounted price in exchange for an honest review and my honest review is that this is a great machine that I will use for a long time. I like the cool workouts and I look forward to using it in the mornings.
I’ve been using the NordicTrack stair stepper for a week, and its already my favorite piece of work out equipment. It’s really well-built and doesn't wobble or make too much noise, which is a big plus. The resistance range is great, so I can switch things up depending on the day. The guided workouts and scenic routes make a huge difference in keeping me motivated. The screen is easy to use, and it’s nice being able to track my progress in real time. If you’re looking for a serious cardio machine that’s also fun to use, I’d highly recommend this one. This was an incentivized purchase.
