Stairmaster Stepmill 70000 PT Used Fitness Equipment Review

Used gym equipment is constantly becoming a perfect alternative to buying new gym equipment or getting a less inferior home gym product. I recently had the opportunity to review the StairMaster Stepmill 7000 pt and was impressed with this machine. Before this review I must admit I was not aware of this machine, I saw this piece of exercise equipment at the gym but never tried to use the machine.

The reason I never tried the Stepmill initially was because I was intimidated by the size and then uncomfortable climbing this flight of stairs on wheels. When you first see this piece of fitness equipment in the gym, the size blows your mind because, for all intents and purposes, it’s like you’ve taken a section of steps and put a treadmill on them to make it feel like you’re constantly climbing a complete set of stairs.

Don’t let this piece of exercise equipment fool you because after getting over my initial fear and reading some tips on how to use this machine, I was amazed at the kicking workout I had gotten as it burns almost twice as many calories. you burn out on a treadmill in less than half the time.

When you first get on the machine, you can get started by clicking the quick start button and then simply entering your desired resistance level. I first started at a level 13, but quickly went back down to a level 6 because I felt like I had been shot out of a cannon.

Second, if you’re not aware of the steps, you’ll want to hold the rails on either side of you. I found that holding the rails helped me keep my balance and allowed me to slightly increase my stamina. You are provided with a very easy to read digital display that shows the number of floors you have climbed, the number of calories you have burned, the equivalent mileage you achieved and a host of other stats which I found very useful.

Now the downside to this StairMaster Stepmill 7000 PT is not just the initial intimidation factor but the cost, these fitness equipments are over $5,000 new so you might have trouble finding them at a gym. I’ve been to several different gyms and there always seems to be at least 1 Stepmill, but not a line like you see for treadmills or ellipticals that having used this exercise machine outperforms every other machine in the gym.

Another note on how to get this exercise equipment without shelling out a lot of money would be to find a quality used fitness equipment dealer. They can often sell you a StairMaster Stepmill 7000 pt for less than half, if not cheaper. If you are a health club looking to add another piece of gym equipment or a single individual looking to add to their home gym, this would be a great addition.

The reason is because of the number of calories you burn in such a short time. You hardly feel like you’re exercising, but you’ll quickly feel the effects, which is why there’s a growing demand for the StairMaster Stepmill 7000 PT.

So if you’re short on time or just want to double your calorie burn with a simple workout, the Stepmill would fit your needs and exceed your expectations.
