Over the past two years I have gradually added to my fitness and sport collection which I have in my garage which I use as a personal gym. I am not trying to lose weight I just want to become healthier and fitter and make my body more toned. I saw the stepper in the argos catalogue last year when I was purchasing some other sports equipment. I normally research equipment before I purchase them as I know there are so many rubbish ones out there claiming the help you get fit when really they are just a rubbish piece of equipment with no real use. Unfortunately because I wasn't at home and just saw the stepper in the catalogue in store, I didn't have the chance to research. I wish I did as the reviews on here would have helped inform me not to purchase and would have saved me some money.

I purchased the stepper for around ?35 which I thought was reasonable as it was a twisting stepper and just one of the plain stand alone ones. It the catalogue it looked and sounded good from the description and I didn't have any equipment at home similar to it. When I got it home I tried it out the same day. It does come with a information booklet but it is pretty straight forward to use anyway. It has a screen on it where you can see calories burnt and steps taken and it has 5 program settings. It also has 2 stretchy ropes with handles on that you hold and use to tone your arms. There wasn't much resistance in the rope, they were too loose so I couldn't really feel it working on my arms. It also makes you slightly off balance when using them and it is hard to get into a rhythm using both the ropes and the stepper together. The steppers where you place your feet don't have anything to help hold your feet in place so your feet do slip off sometimes which is annoying when you have got into a rhythm. They don't particularly move far either so your legs don't get as much movement as I would have expected from a twisting stepper. I used the machine 4 times a week in 30 minute sessions but after 3 months I didn't notice or feel any difference. I would have expected my legs to ache and feel worked out but the didn't. It also started to make a squeaking noise when the steppers were moving which was very annoying.

I wouldn't recommend this stepper and I didn't enjoy using it. I don't think I will purchase another even if it is a different brand as I don't think the equipment is for me. I would recommend a stepper for people who are just starting off and want a simple and easy piece of equipment I just recommend you purchase a different brand.

Summary: Just not a very good piece of fitness equipment.
