The Step Original Aerobic Platform – Circuit Size Grey Aerobic Platform and Four Original Black Risers Included with 4”, 6”, and 8” Platform Height Options

I have the full size but prefer this smaller circuit size. Its smaller size is better for setting up in an apartment and for moving. It accomplishes the same purpose of the larger version which is strengthening my knees. I love this size and am glad I ordered it.

The steps are exactly what I thought they were going to be. The steps are sturdy and it has good grip. I had done a lot of shopping around before purchasing these steps and these steps are the only ones I found within a reasonable price that offered 3 heights. The video isn't too shabby either. Video gives you the option to have a beginning workout or advanced. It's a well worth buy.

I bought this because I gained some weight while in college, and I prefer exercising at home over the gym. I had tried step aerobics before in high school, but I had to start with just one pair of risers first to get accustomed to the routine. It's easy to follow the routines on the DVD, I just wish (as others have mentioned) that there was a way to fasten or secure the risers to the platform, because if you happen to accidentally tap the step too forcefully you have to readjust everything. I find this was well worth the money, because it came with two pair of risers and a DVD. Definitely would recommend to my friends.

The system grows with your progress.. My purpose for my purchase was building atrophied muscles after hip reconstruction for a childhood condition. The co-pay for the rehab session is the same price of this unit. This will last a long time more than an hour. I recommend this unit. Delivery was quick but not the current 2 day delivery but I was happy with entire process.

This is a great step I just wish I would have ordered the longer one. It works well, but I should have gotten the longer one. Also, make sure you pay attention to the width. Make sure your foot fits on the step with a little extra room. For the price, it works.

This version of The Step is definitely a spacesaver design. I found it to be sturdy and a quck setup. The stepping space is quite satisfactory. If you don't mind foregoing the instructional dvd, then the reduced price compared to larger versions of this item makes it an ideal purchase for the money. I bought this model because I wanted it to take up less floor space and I wanted a hassle free exercise cardio device with no mechanical parts which might require repair at some point.

I did not like the fact that the risers to change height do not snap in. the platform just sits on top of them. I will need to secure them somehow.

This is NOT the size of the stepper you have at your local gym. It's much smaller in length. That's fine if you're just using it as a stepper, but in our classes at the gym, we used them in Body Pump. You can't lay on these and do weights because they're not long enough (unless you have a really short upper body). Too much hassle to return it so I guess I'll just keep it off to the side in my home gym.

This particular stepper is way to small. I didn't realize that it came in different sizes. For a person that is planning to use the stepper for squats and to do chest presses (aerobic style) I would not recommend this size because it's not long enough or tall enough even though you stack 3 steps on each side (which I think is the max for safety reasons). If your only using as a stepper than this will be a perfect choice but if your planning on using it for a variety of things than get the larger size. I hope this helps

my wife recently had brain surgery and they had a step up system there and that she should get one for home to continue her therapy. it looked good online but doesn't snap or stay together and is wobblely we will be returning it to the store and keep looking.
