StairMaster fitness equipment: fitness stepper in health club quality

StairMaster is a quality fitness equipment brand best known for its world-famous stair climbers and StepMills. StairMaster Stair Climbers have two unconnected, individual steps that act independently of each other, while the StairMaster StepMill has a rotating, escalator-like staircase. Almost thirty years ago, the first exercise TairMaster climber was introduced to the world of health and fitness equipment. This new StairMaster invention was called the StairMaster 5000. In 1983, Lanny Potts and his employee Jim Walker introduced the StairMaster 5000 to the world through Tri-Tech, Inc. at a trade show in Tulsa, Oklahoma, hosted by the National Sporting Goods Association.

After the immediate success of this 5000 StepMill, StairMaster looked for ways to improve its new and popular stepper through technological advances. Within a year the SM 5000 would be replaced by the StairMaster 6000. While the StairMaster 6000 would appear virtually identical and mechanically similar to the 5000 stepper, the SM 6000 would offer digital enhancements to its users. Technological upgrades in programming have created a more interactive atmosphere for the user. People could now print their statistical feedback on a thermal printer and keep track of their pulse through heart rate measurement. Monitoring heart rate during exercise is essential for many people who exercise on cardiovascular fitness equipment. You can be careful while pushing your limits as long as you can monitor your heart rate. To track their progress electronically, the SM 6000 displayed real-time training information on its CRT.

In 1985, a walking simulator module was developed to further improve digital user feedback on the SM 6000. Later that year, Tri-Tech, Inc. sold Nautilus Northeast the distribution rights for StairMaster fitness equipment. Over the next 25 years, Nautilus would make a significant contribution to the fitness equipment industry through the continued production of consumer-oriented, gym-quality fitness stair climbers. Nautilus is the fitness equipment company responsible for inventing the StairMaster 4000PT, 4200PT, 4400CL, 4600PT, 4600CL, 7000PT, Sm 916 & SC916.

The International Health, Racket and Sports Club Association (IHRSA) held a trade show in Nashville in 1986. During this conference, StairMaster introduced its new creation and introduced the StairMaster 4000PT. This stair stepper was built without an escalator-like, rotating staircase. Instead of a mechanical speed control of a revolving staircase like the SM 5000 and SM 6000, the SM 4000PT had two steps with independent movements that simulated climbing stairs. Mechanically speaking, overall pedal movement was controlled via a common rotary shaft, while speed control was configured via the alternator. StairMaster would have much success with its new 4000PT stair climber and the two independent step design would set the trend for the next decade. As interest in the rotating stair models soon waned, sales of the StairMaster 4000PT skyrocketed.

StairMaster manufactures some of the most popular and effective steppers and stepmills in the fitness equipment industry today. If you've spent any amount of time in the gym using stair climbers, then you've most likely trained on a StairMaster climbing machine. As the nation's largest manufacturer of commercial and home stair steppers, StairMaster is responsible for the design, production, development and marketing of the world's finest stair steppers. As a pioneer in the fitness equipment industry with exciting and groundbreaking features, StairMaster continues to impress fitness professionals around the world with the premium products that StairMaster continues to introduce to the world of fitness equipment.

StairMaster has specialized in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of stair treads for over three decades and remains the undisputed heavyweight champion in fitness quality and residential stair treads. Examples of the excellent and meticulous manufacturing process that StairMaster religiously employs can be seen through their impressive array of stair treads. The StairMaster 4200PT, StairMaster 4400PT/CL, StairMaster 7000PT StepMill, SM 916 Step Mill and SC 916 are examples of StairMaster's unwavering commitment to perfect craftsmanship. Altruistic rather than capitalistic, StairMaster is addicted to improving the fitness equipment industry through the continuous production of structurally sound, biomechanically correct stair climbers and StepMills. Aesthetically extravagant and mechanically inferior exercise equipment is not an option for those looking for efficient and effective fitness equipment, because cheap and flimsy exercise equipment only serves as a waste of space. StairMaster stair climbers underline and highlight everything that is good about efficient and effective fitness equipment. One of the best training machines in the gym is the StairMaster 916 StepMill. In contrast to stationary exercise bikes, treadmills and cross-training machines (also cross trainers), the SM 916 StepMill has an extraordinary function that motivates its user to train for a long time. SM916's constantly rotating stairs create an environment where the user cannot deceive themselves. Escalator-like rotating steps make it impossible to rest and break while using the SM 916 step mill. Users are motivated to finish their workout on the SM 916 because attempting to slow down may result in them falling off the stair climber and interrupting the workout. When running on a treadmill, it's easy to slow down to a crawl without losing momentum.

StairMaster is owned by its parent company, Nautilus. Nautilus was founded in 1986 and is headquartered in Vancouver. Nautilus is an industry leader in fitness distribution. In addition to developing, manufacturing and marketing fitness equipment under the Nautilus name, Nautilus' other well-known and affordable fitness equipment brands include Schwinn Fitness, Bowflex and Treadclimber. Nautilus offers a wide range of exercise equipment ranging from premium, gym-quality fitness equipment to lightweight, affordable and small home fitness equipment. Nautilus has received a lot of attention in recent years due to the development of the Bowflex Treadclimber. Bowflex SelectTeck dumbbells have also been a success for Nautilus recently. We all know Schwinn Fitness for their amazing Airdyne exercise bike. Recently, Schwinn has been on the horizon again with its steady production of popular spinning bikes. Schwinn Fitness treadmills have also gained notoriety. The Schwinn 860 Treadmill and Schwinn 840 are both solid purchases if you're looking for a lightweight treadmill for your home gym.
