EchelonStair Climber Sport for Home Cardio, Low-Impact Stepping Machine, Adjustable Resistance & 3 Incline Levels, Bluetooth Connectivity, 3 Inch Monitor, 2 Handle Positions, Battery Powered

Product is sturdy and came assembled in the box. All I had to do was set it up and attach the display. Batteries aren't included. It is a bit heavy but I appreciate that about it. It doesn't feel cheap.I like the different levels of resistance as well. While on it, it glides steady and smoothly. It gets my heart rate up pretty quickly so it's a good product for cardio and building muscle since there is resistance. I like that is is quiet while in use. The fact that it is so compact is another huge perk. After my work out, I can slide it right into the closer. Love this equipment so far!

Works well. It is quiet and moves smoothly. Not the same as a powered stepper, but didn’t expect that to be the case. It also takes up a lot less space. It’s simple, with less to go wrong and significantly less $. Would recommend if you are looking for an in home stepper.

The media could not be loaded. I need to get in shape & hate going to the gym, so I ordered the Echelon Stair Climber Sport. I wanted something that would give me a good workout without impact on my joints (I'm 70 years old & that's a huge issue for me). Right off the bat I was impressed that the setup was pretty much pull it out of the box & connect the monitor. With 3 incline settings it's a quick lift & put into the slot (like a reclining beach chair). I started on the lowest setting since I hadn't worked out in a long time. The resistance is a simple twist of a knob & it's completely within reach as you're stepping, so if you need it harder (or easier) it's easy to do. The screen gives me all the info for tracking your workout. I also like the fact that once I build up a little stamina I'll be able to do different exercise programs on the Echelon app. The unit is heavy which is a plus & a minus. The plus is that it doesn't bounce around & it's nice & quiet. I don't worry about it tipping or tilting. But, it also means that moving it is cumbersome. It folds down easily to slide under the bed. That being said, if it's under the bed, I won't use it, so having it set up all of the time is a good reminder. The price point is the BEST that I found for a piece of exercise equipment of this caliber. I am really happy with it.

I can’t believe the work out you get!! I saw commercials but sometimes they are hard to trust! This is exactly as it says it is! I get an intense workout in about 10 minutes. The resistance is perfect to tone it up or down! The best part is how easy it is to fold up and pack away and carry from room to room.Set up was maybe 15 minutes. Well constructed for myself and my husband to use. I love this brand and I have a few other equipment pieces from this company - I’ve made a pretty cool home gym and this stairclimber is the perfect final addition. Totally recommend for a great, affordable, all over work out!!!

UPDATE 4/28/24: NO CUSTOMER SERVICE BY ECHELONShortly after writing the below 5 star review, this stair climber that I absolutely love, developed the obnoxious stealing you can hear in the video I've uploaded here. I contacted Echelon immediately and hav now waited 3 weeks for the promised response after uploading same video, proof or purchase/delivery and all requested information. In 3 weeks there has been no follow-up whatsoever and can't use the stair climber. I can no longer recommend this product with such complete lack of customer service especially within the warranty period and this soon after purchase.Rarely do I make a purchase of fitness equipment in this price range without trying it out first. This was purchased with the hope it would meet my expectations. It has exceeded them. Well built, well packaged (UPS got it here in excellent condition). The design concept is brilliant and for the most part, well-executed. For those familiar with Total Gym's Commercial line, Encompass, Elevate and GTS, this is how Total Gym would build a stair climber. Two separate foot "pedals" run on bearings in separate metal tracks. The magnetic resistance is accomplished by two pulley wheels, upper and lower, connected by belt that moves the flywheel similar to an eddy brake. Translation: super smooth motion with a good range of "not much to really intense" adjustable resistance. In addition you have 3 adjustable incline levels to ramp up your workout. You can work cardio, strength, endurance and surprisingly ankle range of motion, knee ROM and hip ROM. Set-up out of the box was simple, put the handle bars in the appropriate position ( 1st or a combined 2nd/3rd position) and set the incline for the base at one of three levels. Note: the handlebars are designed to be set at the same level as the incline.Pros: Well built, straight forward design. Quality materials. Easy transport and fold-up. Three incline levels, adjustable magnetic resistance.Cons: Could use better marking and screw knobs for Handle bars. Even with tightening, I can still feel some movement in the handlebars in first position. Wish they'd included a lockdown mechanism to keep the incline bar in place when folded down, am using a bungee to keep it from moving when in transport.All in all, for a first generation piece of equipment its worth the investment.

Shipping: The item was damaged while shipped. Handle is broken off to tighten the handle bar and front plastic is cracked. Wish I could buy a new handle.Stepper:The item itself seems to function ok. You do work up a sweat quickly. I still prefer a step mill but this will be ok for the price.
