About StairMaster
In 1983, a Tulsa, Oklahoma company created a fitness training product line that stepped up exercise to a new level--StairMaster machines. The invention was credited for being "among the first machines to turn gyms into modern exercise arenas" by USA Today, the nation’s most popular daily newspaper. Along with PDAs, laptops, and mobile phones, StairMaster machines have been labeled among the top 25 inventions that changed our lives over the past 25 years (USA Today, May 21, 2007). In fact, it was the only fitness product on the list.

More than two decades later, StairMaster products are still hard at work in gyms and homes preparing everyone from elite athletes to people in uniform, while being mentioned almost daily in the nation’s news media and sitcoms like Seinfeld. Ed Viesturs, America’s leading high-altitude mountaineer, relies on StairMaster trainers to prepare for climbs such as Mount Everest. "I do an hour on a StairMaster with a 50-pound pack on my back after simulating climbing movements in the gym," said Viesturs in Outdoor magazine. "These sessions hurt, but not as much as having to walk away from a climb because you weren't fit enough."

American hero Jim Campbell also looks to StairMaster trainers to maintain his physical readiness. A firefighter from Indianapolis, Campbell set the StairMaster StepMill record in 2006 (113.4 vertical miles in 24 hours). More than just a hobby, Campbell put his intensive training to use by rescuing a person trapped on the second story of a burning building--a feat that earned him a special commendation. Campbell joins thousands of firefighters who routinely train on StairMaster products to maintain top form. Are StairMaster machines a good solution for safe and effective lower body and cardio conditioning? Just ask each new firefighter candidate who must achieve 60 steps per minute for 3 minutes on a StairMaster StepMill while wearing a 50-pound vest and fire protective clothing ("turnouts").

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have if you hate to exercise!!, July 2, 2008

By	Kim Brugger "home gym ratt" (riverside, california) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I hate to exercise, but who wants to be fat? So I've been going to the gym for about 3 years now. That is where I tried the stepmill. At first I could only go a few minutes,but those few minutes kicked my butt! I gradually worked my way up to 30 minutes,and what a drenched mess of sweat I was in after those 30 minutes. You can do so much on this thing! You can climb sideways,working your inner thighs, backwards for your calves, and skip a step when going forward to really give your butt a lift. And then you can lift your leg out while stepping slowly for a stretch and a harder workout. On the cooldown, you can do calf raises, with just the ball of your foot on the step you lift yourself with just your calf muscles. Its an amazing workout, it burns the most calories in the shortest amount of time, and with all the different electronic workouts to choose from, it doesn't really get boring. It constanly tells you how many calories you're burning, how many floors you've climbed, etc. I bought a video ipod and watch movies while doing this and I've now gone for one hour, burning over 400 calories! But I've found good fast music really pushes me to go faster and kick my own a**.
I bought this machine because it is always being used at my gym and we only had 2 there, so for my bday, I bought myself one. It's outside because its so huge, but with a fan it's awesome!
