Take advantage of these durable features for light industrial and home use that you just won't find anywhere else!

StairMill vs. Treadmills and “Stair Climbers”
A treadmill will simulate a walk or run in Central Park, but only a StairMill can match the stair climb up Mahattan’s most famous landmark, the Empire State Building.
Ever wonder why the more sophisticated treadmills offer an upward incline? It’s because the cardio benefits of carrying your own weight uphill hugely outstrip those of pounding away on flat surface. Gravity is so strong that in climbing just 1 meter, you expend a big 9.8 Joules of energy for every kilogram of body weight.
A StairMill is not the same as a “Stair Climber”. The name “Stair Climber” has come to be routinely applied to items of equipment where the user stands on two separate treads which move alternately up and down, either vertically or in a steeply sloping path.
A Stair Climber attempts to mimic the natural movement of your feet by use of a linear sliding motion of two narrow footplates. On a StairMill you climb free on the full width steps of a never-ending staircase, your feet, legs, hips, and torso moving in their own natural way. With a StairMill, the feet can follow their natural curved stepping up path between treads, thereby enabling far superior muscle engagement and toning.
