Stair climbing offers one of the best cardio workouts imaginable, and the Stairmaster 7000PT StepMill C40G enables users to recreate the movements of natural stair climbing from the comfort of their home or commercial gym. With a weight capacity of over 300 pounds, and an adjustable step height, the StepMill is able to accommodate users of all shapes and sizes. Moreover, with its 20 levels of resistance and variable steeping speed rate of 24-162 steps per minute, users can create a personalized workout that is ideal for their current level of fitness. Heart rate monitoring is provided wirelessly through Polar telemetry, with the results of that monitoring brightly displayed on the large and vivid LED display console.

There are nine built-in workout programs on the Stairmaster 7000PT StepMill C40G. Each of these workouts was designed carefully by the company’s fitness scientists to provide users with the most complete workout in the most expedient fashion. Some of the 9 pre-installed workouts this machine offers include a Quick Start function, which allows users to commence with their workout quickly; a Manual mode, in which steppers key in their weight and age on the numeric keypad to create a personalized workout with individualized readouts; a Fat-burner workout regimen, which focuses primarily on the target heart rate of the user; an aerobic, calorie burning workout; fitness tests, which include the popular CPAT Fire Fit Test (the physical training/fitness test required for all firefighters); and Speed Interval training, using varying levels of resistance and speed to shock/wake up the muscles of the lower body.

The LED console on the Stairmaster 7000PT StepMill C40G allows users to stay abreast of a number of pieces of fitness data and milestones. Some of this data includes the number of calories burned throughout the workout, heart rate, distance, stepping speed and more—data that can be tracked from one workout to the next as a way of measuring fitness progress.
