The Step360 One Year Review

I’ve had my Step360 for a year and thought I’d update everyone on how it’s performed in that time. The first and I believe most important point is that I’m still using it Unlike a lot of exercise equipment that I’ve purchased over the years this one is still in use and has a permanent place in my workout room and I use it once or twice a week.

Build Quality

Even after a years abuse there are no obvious signs of damage and trust me its had a hard life! My major concern was always that the inflatable chambers would spring a leak requiring constant pumping up but that hasn’t happened sure it does need topping up every month or so but that’s no big deal. Also the rubber mat on the top is looking a bit worn and tired but it hasn’t come off and anyway would be easy to replace.

Effectiveness

After an initial flurry of activity when I’d use it almost every day I now use it maybe twice a week as part of my regular workouts. I like to use it to warm up and get my major cardio workout with it. In the early days I did use the exercise bands but now prefer to do most of my strength training doing body weight exercises as I believe they’re more effective.

I now choreograph my own step class for myself as after a while you will get bored with the supplied DVD’s and it’s very easy to modify any step class designed for a traditional step into one you can use for the Step360 you just need to shorten them and sometimes use slower music.

Over all I think the Step360 has exceeded my expectations and if you want a great cardio workout that’s a lot of fun you need look no further.

Comments

What suprise me is that the take up for this effective piece of at home exercise equipment is so poor. I live in the UK and I know for a fact it still isn’t available here (which is a pity because all my friends and clients that use mine would love to get there hands on one) and uptake in the US is slow. When you consider some of the trashy / useless pieces of exercise equipment that are selling like hot cakes via the Infomercial channels (you know the ones I mean don’t you?)  I just can’t understand why more people don’t buy it maybe it’s not gimmicky enough and doesn’t promise you’ll lose 40 lbs in 4 weeks!

Bottom Line

If you want a robust and highly effect piece of cardio equipment that takes up little room and does exactly what it says on the tin take a look at the Step360. If you still believe you can get fit without having to do any work just move on as there’s nothing to see here!
