When our high school opened up a new fitness center last year – we new that we needed to have a couple of stepmills. Due to popular demand, we have purchased another 2 – there was literally 30 minute waits with the initial set. Very excited to get our next batch of these and Roy and his team have been great to work with every step of the way.

In my opinion this is the best stepmill that has been made. I just really like the way that the steps and resistance is laid out that it makes my workouts flow very well. There seems to be a few more programs on this than the 7000 version and it is whisper quiet in comparison to it’s predecessors.

Our facility now has 7 of these stairmaster stepmill 5 units. Our gym members love them and they literally are one of the least serviced units in our entire gym. Great to pair with a functional trainer and a couple treadmills for a facility.
