What is the Force USA Stepper?
The Force USA Stepper is a stair-climbing cardio machine designed to simulate continuous stair climbing. It provides a challenging cardiovascular workout while engaging the lower body, particularly the glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calves.
What muscles does the Force USA Stepper work?
Stair climbing primarily targets the glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calves. Your core also works to help stabilise your body while climbing, making the Stepper an effective combination of cardiovascular and lower-body conditioning.

Yes. The Force USA Stepper is suitable for serious home-gym cardio training. Its dimensions are approximately 120.8 cm (L) × 71.1 cm (W) × 184.8 cm (H), so make sure you also allow sufficient ceiling clearance for the user's height while standing on the machine.
What is the difference between a stair climber and a stepper?
A stair climber uses continuously moving steps to create a climbing motion similar to walking up a staircase. Smaller steppers generally use pedals with a shorter up-and-down movement. The Force USA Stepper uses the continuous stair-climbing format for a more complete climbing experience.
