Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-05-31 i dont recommend it you really do not get in shape with this stepper.dvd work out helps a lot more,this just make your feet heart. Rating:  Date: 2008-04-06 Keep on Steppin'! A bit on the heavy side at twenty pounds, but it is sturdy and the ease of movement of the pedestals assures an addictive workout. Rating:  Date: 2008-03-19 Straps are downright dangerous My girlfriend bought this product, and literally the first time she used it, the straps broke and the whip literally hit her in the face. Luckily it was a glancing blow to her cheek and not her eye, the red mark it left was gone pretty quickly.
Seeing as how the straps are supposedly an important part of the total workout, I'd say that severely damages the value of this product.
She refused to return it however, claiming she didn't care that she didn't have the straps so I guess she enjoys it, she still uses it as a stepper to this day.
Another thing I noticed is the smell of burning rubber it gives off after seeing heavy use, it was especially strong early on and may have lessoned over time or we got used to the smell. Rating:  Date: 2008-03-04 Excellent work-out, easy to use and store. This is a great product for a crowded home. It is stable, well built, easy to use. The arm bands give you a surprisingly good workout, when used with the stepper.
This is geared for persons up to 250 pounds. I had an earlier model geared for people up to 225, and after 5 years of use the cable broke. This one seems a slight bit sturdier, but at the price, if this only lasts 5 years I am well ahead! Rating:  Date: 2008-03-01 Good for home exercise Does Amazon screen the feedback? I will try again to leave a review. Anyway, this is a great small equipment for home exercise. My only complaint is it heats up really quickly. You can actaully smell the plastic. So read manual before using it. So far I haven't had any problem, but it certainly raise my safety concerns. |
