Echelon Stair Climber Sport | Low-Impact Home Cardio Machine, Foldable Design, 3 Incline Levels, Adjustable Resistance, 3 Inch Display, Bluetooth, 2 Handle Positions (Battery Powered)

Super sturdy and SO quiet and smooth! Great workout with ease of use!
This is a great stair climber, well built, sturdy and quiet. It’s compact enough but still works for men as well as women. There are 3 levels of incline and a turn knob that allows easy, custom adjustments to resistance during the workout. I love this stair climber, it’s perfect for what I wanted and even provides features beyond what I envisioned. I can’t stay off of it!

Best Portable Stair Climber
UPDATE 4/28/24: NO CUSTOMER SERVICE BY ECHELONShortly after writing the below 5 star review, this stair climber that I absolutely love, developed the obnoxious stealing you can hear in the video I’ve uploaded here. I contacted Echelon immediately and hav now waited 3 weeks for the promised response after uploading same video, proof or purchase/delivery and all requested information. In 3 weeks there has been no follow-up whatsoever and can’t use the stair climber. I can no longer recommend this product with such complete lack of customer service especially within the warranty period and this soon after purchase.Rarely do I make a purchase of fitness equipment in this price range without trying it out first. This was purchased with the hope it would meet my expectations. It has exceeded them. Well built, well packaged (UPS got it here in excellent condition). The design concept is brilliant and for the most part, well-executed. For those familiar with Total Gym’s Commercial line, Encompass, Elevate and GTS, this is how Total Gym would build a stair climber. Two separate foot “pedals” run on bearings in separate metal tracks. The magnetic resistance is accomplished by two pulley wheels, upper and lower, connected by belt that moves the flywheel similar to an eddy brake. Translation: super smooth motion with a good range of “not much to really intense” adjustable resistance. In addition you have 3 adjustable incline levels to ramp up your workout. You can work cardio, strength, endurance and surprisingly ankle range of motion, knee ROM and hip ROM. Set-up out of the box was simple, put the handle bars in the appropriate position ( 1st or a combined 2nd/3rd position) and set the incline for the base at one of three levels. Note: the handlebars are designed to be set at the same level as the incline.Pros: Well built, straight forward design. Quality materials. Easy transport and fold-up. Three incline levels, adjustable magnetic resistance.Cons: Could use better marking and screw knobs for Handle bars. Even with tightening, I can still feel some movement in the handlebars in first position. Wish they’d included a lockdown mechanism to keep the incline bar in place when folded down, am using a bungee to keep it from moving when in transport.All in all, for a first generation piece of equipment its worth the investment.

Echelon stairclimber gives a good workout
I really love the echelon stair climber. I use it as often as I can, usually for 40 minutes at a time. The workout really makes me sweat. I like that there is a holder to set up my tablet. It’s quiet and you can change the tension on it from easy to difficult. I’m 5′ 4″ so the stride is good for me but not so sure for someone taller. Does not come with instruction but it is pretty self explanatory. I consider it an investment in my health. The screen shows steps, calories, time, all in all it’s a good machine.

Simple Set Up And Amazing Classes
Having been an Echelon customer for 5 years, I was thrilled to incorporate their new stair climber into my workout routine. Setting it up was a breeze, and I appreciate how user-friendly it is. Plus, the fact that it runs on just 2 double AA batteries is a huge bonus for convenience. The resistance levels are fantastic for engaging various muscle groups, making each session effective and engaging. The classes I’ve tried have been challenging yet manageable, pushing me to improve without feeling overwhelmed. I’m genuinely excited to keep using it and continue building strength. Overall, the Echelon stair climber has exceeded my expectations, and I’m delighted with the results it’s helping me achieve. If you’re looking for a reliable and effective piece of equipment to enhance your fitness journey, I highly recommend giving it a try.

The foam on the handle bar was ripped when it arrived but it didn’t look like it would affect the function of the machine so that was ok. Used it for the first 2 days and it worked fine, built up a sweat after 10 mins of use so it’s not super challenging in terms of cardio. During the 3rd day of use I heard something fall on the floor and 2 screws came out. The steps stopped sliding and a bit of plastic always dropped out. I have contacted customer service and they are at least very responsive. I have asked for a refund as whatever the issue it might have been a well designed machine shouldn’t break on the 3rd time of use! However they insisted it’s a new product and there hasn’t been any reported issues so they are sending out an engineer to look at it. Crossing my fingers it will get fixed but not holding my breath on it not breaking again. I would advise not to buy this product for now until there is more reviews from other users. I took a risk as really enjoy a step master workout, but clearly this product is still too new to be reliable. Hope this review helps others and I hope Amazon is able to help me get my money back from Echelon if they can’t fix it or if it breaks again.
