Stepper Machines & Stair Climbers

What are stair climbers & stepper machines?

Stair stepper, step mill, or step climber — this piece of equipment is known by many different names! The stepper has a similar concept to a treadmill, however, rather than a flat surface, steps are rotated instead. Over the last decade, stair stepper machines have become increasingly popular as they allow you to get the blood pumping from head to toe. 

When we think of stair climbers and stepper machines, we usually associate this with StairMaster™, who debuted the machine in 1984. Since then, the stepper machine has been adopted by other brands like Spirit, Star Trac, and more, and has evolved into various other shapes. Whether the machine has pedals or a platform with steps, they all 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, predominately 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 an exercise stepper, with the option to walk or run. You could even perform a HIIT workout on a step climber.

With such variation possible, stair steppers are the perfect piece of equipment for any gym space. Browse the range available at GymEquipment.co.uk and buy online with free UK delivery over £99. Don't forget to check out our gym design service too, to get the most out of your fitness space.
