This is a sturdy and versatile piece of equipment for people of all fitness levels. Utilizing the adjustable height, I can easily work it into my clients strength and aerobics programs for variety and fun. I originally purchased this stepper to do aerobic step testing for my new clients, but a lot of other applications have presented themselves!

My only criticism of this item would be to suggest that the stability strip on the top level step could be wider to cover the entire top. As it is there is about two inches of hard curved plastic on either side of the strip that could allow for a misplaced foot to slip off.

I hemmed and hawwed about buying this for awhile, then decided to take the plunge. What a good decision that was, this is a very valuable and versatile piece of equipment to me. I have a variety of workout videos that I can use this with, but I appreciate the adjustability of it the most. I find the 12 inch height perfect for my 35 plus year old knees. I have used The Firms step up boxes and Transfirmer which are 16 inches high, that height is doable but the 12 inch height is much more comfortable for me. And if for some reason I decide to add more height, I have found that my extra set of purple risers for my club step fit the high step just perfect. They don't exactly match colorwise but big deal.

I use it for aerobics, weight work, the topper is perfect for calf raises, etc. All sorts of uses for this step.

Great buy and well worth the money, I am glad that I finally wised up and bought one for myself!

Mine also came with a workout DVD, Cathe Friedrich's High Step Circuit which shows you even more ways to utilize
the High Step. Recommended.

This is an excellent product! Love the DVD that came with it and it is in my regular rotation. It is one of the best exercise DVDs I own. The step is well constructed and high quality. It is easy to change the riser height. I highly recommend this product and the wonderful DVD that comes with it.

I purchased The Step F1080 High Step and it was delivered in a timely fashion. The DVD inside had no clear wrapper indicating a new product, the outside DVD case was broken and missing the entire top section. DVD inside plays fine. Right out of the box the bottom step had a collection of dust and floor dirt ground into the four rubber/plastic floor cushions...obviously already been used on somebody's dirty floor. Although Clorox disinfecting wipes cleared up any dirt issues with the step, the broken DVD case (with the broken pieces completely missing from the box so it wasn't broken in transit) makes me a little less confident in the merchandise I might buy in the future. The step works fine, the DVD works fine. I just don't think I got a brand new product.

Love this step! So much sturdier than other high steps I've used before -- allows you to step up and down quickly and confidently. Very versatile and definitely worth the money! Also like the DVD that came with it -- good deal!

This is the best step product on the market and it really works. I have had this for about a month now and the difference is incredible. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to work the legs and glutes, which is a difficult area for most women.

In the past week I have purchased both this high step and the larger Original Health Club Step. I needed to purchase two pairs of risers to boost my larger step up to 12 inches high. As another reviewer kindly pointed out, purchasing this high step is the best way to get the extra four risers. Two pairs of risers would have cost me $50. This high step came to a total of $52.72 at the time I purchased it. So along with the four risers I needed (which are the exact same as the ones that came with my larger step) I get the small platform, AND a DVD that alone would cost over $19!! Now I can choose between working out on the small step or the large one, and can have it anywhere from 4-12 inches in height.

Oh and about the step itself--it's great! For some reason my eyes played a visual trick on me when I saw the picture online--I though the black surface on the platform was going to be a square in the center, but it does go all the way to two sides so you don't have to worry about your feet sliding off the side. The other two sides have the blue plastic, so if you need to use it to do push-ups or triceps dips, you can place your hands on the plastic instead of the hard black ridged stuff.

Also, I like the nice blue color--anything to perk up my exercise routine is good!

This product shipped quickly and I highly recommend it. However, it did not contain a DVD, which was very disappointing, since I ordered this particular one because claimed to contain a DVD.

Amazon did take care of me, but I wasn't pleased that the product description was wrong.

I ordered this for my wife recently and I have used it more than her! I love that there are so many heights available. My basement floor is tiled and can be a bit slippery, that's where the anti-skid material on the bottom comes in handy, this thing stays put like nobody's business!

It is perfect for home use. Just the right size and it doesn't move on carpets!!!
