Buy Health Club Step - Teal/Purple Now
I read most reviews before purchasing this step, and was concerned about the few reviewers who mentioned the step buckled to a considerable extent when challenged with a load of >200lbs. I ultimately decided to trust Amazon and order it, hoping it would indeed be an original "The Step" (part of the reason was the irresistible $3.99 one-day shipping).As soon as I received the product (the next morning!!!), i proceeded to jump on and off it like a crazy person-a crazy, 280lb person to be exact. Indeed, the step gave in, but only a little bit. Definitely not enough to make me fear for my safety. I have since gone through 2 step classes with pretty intense jumping, and everything seems fine. It feels more like a shock absorption feature than a structural issue.
I will say that I did contact customer service at The Step company, and they told me they do NOT sell their product on Amazon. So this one must be a "fake" of some sort (though it is "Made in USA" and not China). Retroactively, I might have bought the original one-it''s only $5 more (including shipping) and rated to 500lbs. But, all in all, I am satisfied with this one. It would take a lot more to make returning this worth the hassle.I really like this step. It is very sturdy, durable and very well made. It has nice cover on the top so it is not slippery at all. It is little bit expensive, but worth every penny. I have two month at home and while rocking her, I do my step exercises. Even my three years old likes to jump on it. Highly recommend this product.If you are serious about using a step for your workout, this is the one to get. It''s wide and sturdy to stay in place on the floor, be it wood, concrete or carpet. My gym has several of these and I enjoyed exercising on them every time. It has enough height to give you a good workout too.
