Which is the right Stairmaster for me?
You have many options and may need some help picking the perfect Stairmaster or Stair Climber for your home. A few things you’ll want to look at before purchasing are size, programs, warranty, and price.
Size / Floor Space
Some Stairmasters are built with commercial workout facilities in mind and maybe too large and bulky for your home gym. If you have the space and the budget, a commercial-grade Stairmaster would be a great addition to your gym but be mindful of the dimensions and the area you have to work with, and most importantly, how high your ceilings are. You do not want to be bumping your head on the ceiling during workouts!
Price
You get what you pay for with Stairmasters and Stair Climber! High-end machines feature top-notch programs, lifetime warranties, bright LCD screens, and all the bells and whistles you could need. Shop around and research to make sure you find the machine you need. You could save quite a large chunk of money by eliminating certain features or choosing the smaller Stairmaster.
Warranty
Stairmasters are complicated machines, and regular maintenance is required to keep them in peak form. They are prone to breakdowns or minor issues after years of usage. You’ll want to shop for a Stairmaster or Stair Climber with a solid warranty to ensure peace of mind for years.
