What Are Stair Climbers?
A stepper, step mill, or step climber — this piece of equipment is known by many different names! The stair climber machine has a similar concept to a treadmill, however, rather than a flat surface, steps are rotated instead. Over the last decade, stair climbing machines have become increasingly popular as they allow you to get the blood pumping from head to toe.
When we think of stair climbers, we usually associate this with StairMaster™, who debuted the machine in 1984. Since then, the stair climber machine has been adopted by other brands like Spirit, DRAX, Life Fitness, and more, and has evolved into various other shapes. If the machine is a platform with steps, then it's a stair climber. If it has pedals, it's a stepper machine. They both mimic the movement of climbing stairs.
Stair climber machines have many physical benefits, including helping you improve cardiovascular strength. They allow you to engage various different muscle groups, predominantly in your lower body, including your glutes, hamstrings, and quads, as well as working your core muscles.
No matter your ability, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, you can increase the intensity of your workout with a step climber, with the option to walk or run. You could even perform a HIIT workout on one.
Are stair climbers suitable for home gyms?
Yes, modern stair climber machines are more compact and affordable than ever, making them a strong option for both home and commercial gym setups.
