Introducing the new StairMaster 8Gx with 16" OpenHub display, now powered by Android OS. This powerhouse product provides a superior combination of cardio and strength training with features like a durable, rust free polypropylene construction, ergonomic handrails to support multiple climbing positions and an all-new drive train that delivers smooth, quiet performance. Its combination of quality and innovation delivers a workout that's quite literally a step up compared to everything else in the gym.
The Nuts and Bolts - A quick explanation as to why our drive system works: The 10G, 8Gx and 4G all share the same mechanical design, championed by a generator based drive system vs Alternator. As a user climbs stairs, the generator creates resistance; this resistance prevents the steps from 'free-falling' - this is why the creation of resistance is important. Because the generator-based drive system is lightly geared (has a low gear ratio), the generator does not have to spin at a high rate to generate resistance. This is important because it means lighter-weight users won't have an issue generating resistance. In contrast, previous designs (pre-2019) utilized an alternator which requires a high gear ratio (needs to spin fast in order to generate resistance), higher gear ratios mean more friction in the system and thus needs more downward force to move. More friction is also prone to other issues.
IMPORTANT: Ceiling Height Requirements: Generally, the user will be up to 33" to 36" taller than their actual height on revolving staircase / stepmill units. 8' ceilings (standard in homes) will rarely work. Please contact us if you have questions as to whether this will fit in your setting. We will need your exact ceiling height and the height of the tallest user.
