MERACH Slide Steppers for Exercise at Home, Mini Stair Stepper with Resistance Bands, Stairmaster Machine for Full Body Workout, Simulate Skiing Posture with 300 LBS Loading Capacity

The technology of this gear is fairly simple and ingenious if you look underneath. It looks sturdy and probably fixable in most case of damage, in hope there's no need anytime soon, of course.The length is roughly 2 thirds of the Aeroski, so the movement is not as wide (particularly because the Aeroski is much more arched making the movement range even wider), but this slide stepper range of movement is not ridiculously tiny neither. It's approachable yet it gets quickly challenging.It's fun with the provided resistance band or with dumbbells, trying different postures. The amazon product page shows several other ways to use it with the hands or with one leg at the time. Nice diversity of usages.There's another awesome option. In front of a system that can block my feet and a classical resistance band behind my feet (aerobic deck, door anchor strap on the floor and yoga blocks, fixed or heavy furniture...), I sit astride on this slider from an adjusted distance and am able to mimic a rowing exercise closely enough, thanks to the rails underneath, let's say with a slight wave due to the arch. That's a very appreciable trick in a space where there's no room for the typical rowing machine.Conclusion, this is an good fitness product.

Great addition to the circuit of home workout equipment! Lightweight, smooth, quiet, & sturdy! No assembly required, just attach the bands. I put on some good music, moved side-to-side, and broke a sweat the first 15 minutes!

The media could not be loaded. I LOVE this machine! I have double knee replacements and needed something to help me build muscle strength in my legs in preparation for skiing. The set up is super easy. All I had to do was connect the straps and get started. I have to exercise caution stepping onto it to make sure I don't lose my balance, but once I'm on it the motion is easy. I can stand tall or squat a little while I use it, strengthening my muscles in different ways. I don't have to use the straps, but they help me develop rhythm while exercising. The screen is easy to see. It's easy and I can feel a burn after just a couple minutes. This is definitely a great value and one of my best (and simplest) exercise machine purchases! It doesn't take up much space and stores easily.

This is a pretty good machine. Affordable, for what you get. I feel like it is quite effective and can give a good workout. I would have liked a bit more width in the stride. Balance could be an issue for some people, but that is apparent in the photo.

Honestly I got this because I was looking at buying the Aeroski machine. Wanted to give this a try 1st & I'm glad I did. The only people who use it are my kids. They love it.Update: The company emailed me & asked if I wanted a refund. I really appreciate the great customer service but had to decline. As mentioned, my kids love it, it's just not for me. Plus it saved me hundreds because I was going to buy the Aeroski machine & this made me realize it would be sitting in my closet. 😂

Horrible company! Horrible equipment! Returns are accepted at YOUR COST!DON’T BUY!

I just had back surgery in December & needed something that wouldn’t be too strenuous but would help strengthen my muscles again— this has been a perfect fit. I get a really good workout without overdoing it, it’s fun to use & I really think it helps my balance a lot as well. It’s perfectly quiet to use so I can use it at night… its a bit bulky & it doesn’t fold up or anything, so there’s no “easy” way to really store it out of the way, but as long as you have a place to keep it & use it regularly, I don’t think it’s an issue. It’s the best investment I’ve made for workout equipment.

This would cater well to someone who's looking for low impact, and who can also balance. Would be great it it could be adjusted to increase resistance.
