Gold's Gym Mini Stepper with Monitor Weight Capacity: 250 lbs With Electronic Monitor Tracks Steps, Time And Calories Burned by Golds Gym

This is cheaply built and isn't as effective as simply stepping up and down on a raised step or bench. The monitor works poorly and when using it for more than 30 minutes, the bolts work their way out and you'll have to replace them before continuing your workout.

Works fairly well, but it squeaks terribly. Not sure how you remedy.

works great

monitor does not work. tried new battery, still does not work. too cumbersome to return. set my own timer and count my own steps.

It is exactly what I was looking for, to put under my desk when I stand.

I bought this at Walmart for $48. So far so good. It's sturdy and quiet. If you have balance problems, it might be a bit of a challenge, but it's not hard to do without something to hold on to. If you are using it for weight loss, you probably want to try something else. It took me 22 minutes to do 1000 steps. That's only 140 calories. I could do 140 calories on my Bowflex treadclimber in no time. There is no way to adjust the resistance so I am not sure how much working harder will improve those stats. If you want it to combat being sedentary, I'd go for it. I use it at work when a client doesn't show and it's too wet or cold to go outside. I see it as a "better than nothing" option. Since it's portable, it really is a lot more than nothing.

While I didn't but this stepper from this seller, I bought this exact same model at Walmart. Its okay for what it is, it definitely gives your legs a workout. It did have an annoying squeaking issue when using it after a couple times, but I fixed it completely by spraying some WD-40 on it, absolutely no squeaks now. I also applied some circular nonslip furniture pads underneath the pedals so there's not metal hitting metal as you step up and down and also to reduce noise. With these two adjustments made, I have no issues. I weigh 150lb. Not sure how accurate the calorie counter is but I mostly try to focus on the steps instead. A good alternative if you dont want a bulky piece of gym equipment for small room or apartment. Better than sitting around doing nothing,

The best compact portable mini stepper ever. Few moving parts very solidly built and my favourite part is a cooling jacket on hydraulics, kips them cool during longer work out. Solid, quite and mighty for an indoor stepper, I tried number of them and by far this is a winner.No wonder, it's built by a very reliable company.
