Impressive Features in a Small Package
on June 9, 2025
Posted by: DMCD
My favorite thing about this stepper is that it packs so much into such a compact space. It’s got a big, clear screen, built-in apps, and even a charging port for my phone. The workouts are low impact but surprisingly tough—I always feel like I’ve accomplished something, without the soreness I get from running. I enjoy having Netflix and other apps during my workout but really hope they’ll add YouTube soon. Also, a quicker way to just get started without the whole log-in process would make this perfect for busy mornings.
This is an incentivized review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well made machine that offers a great workout. It definitely is challenging but in a good way. I have only been using it a few weeks and am already noticing positive changes in my physique.

Not for me
on December 30, 2025
Posted by: Jan K.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took a chance on ordering the step climber XL without trying it. I have used the elliptical and knew what to expect from that machine but thought stepping would be a different kind of training since I do like to train with stairs. Also the footprint is smaller for my home gym. The first thing I noticed when I tried the stepper was that the step length was extremely long and I immediately wanted to shorten the stride but realized there are no options for that. This is a huge disappointment for me since I have short legs and hip sensitivity. I would rather have the same motion with shorter step length. The second thing I noticed was the intensity of the levels being extremely strong. I don't know anyone that will ever get up to level 22! Because I am small and 110 pounds, I don't think I'll ever be able to get past level 12. I've been using the machine for almost a month and I'm not giving up on it, but if I were to do it again, I would not order this machine and probably stick with the elliptical. This may be a really good machine for somebody taller, stronger and heavier but not someone my size. Unfortunately this was an expensive learning experience.
