Vélo Elliptique Step Climber XL / Écran tactile 16" noir NORDICTRACK

I took a chance on ordering the step climber XL without trying it. I have used the elliptical and knew what to expect from that machine but thought stepping would be a different kind of training since I do like to train with stairs. Also the footprint is smaller for my home gym. The first thing I noticed when I tried the stepper was that the step length was extremely long and I immediately wanted to shorten the stride but realized there are no options for that. This is a huge disappointment for me since I have short legs and hip sensitivity. I would rather have the same motion with shorter step length. The second thing I noticed was the intensity of the levels being extremely strong. I don't know anyone that will ever get up to level 22! Because I am small and 110 pounds, I don't think I'll ever be able to get past level 12. I've been using the machine for almost a month and I'm not giving up on it, but if I were to do it again, I would not order this machine and probably stick with the elliptical. This may be a really good machine for somebody taller, stronger and heavier but not someone my size. Unfortunately this was an expensive learning experience.

I am loving the New Step Climber. It provides a great low-impact workout.

Well made machine that offers a great workout. It definitely is challenging but in a good way. I have only been using it a few weeks and am already noticing positive changes in my physique.

Great product. Well built and the iFit programs keep you motivated and are interesting.

My favorite thing about this stepper is that it packs so much into such a compact space. It’s got a big, clear screen, built-in apps, and even a charging port for my phone. The workouts are low impact but surprisingly tough—I always feel like I’ve accomplished something, without the soreness I get from running. I enjoy having Netflix and other apps during my workout but really hope they’ll add YouTube soon. Also, a quicker way to just get started without the whole log-in process would make this perfect for busy mornings.

This is an incentivized review.

As someone who enjoys running but struggles with knee discomfort, I was seeking a low-impact alternative that still offered a great workout. This Step Climber has been a fantastic addition to my fitness regimen.

I've been able to incorporated daily sessions, alternating between hiking, running, and walking programs. The stair-stepping motion provides a unique challenge, engaging my glutes and quads differently than traditional cardio equipment.

The 16" HD touchscreen helps with the workout experience, though I did notice the iFIT programs for this machine aren't as diverse as those for the treadmill or stationary bike. The inclusion of streaming apps like Netflix is a nice touch, but I'd love to see additions like YouTube or Audible in the future.

Assembly was straightforward, taking about 45 minutes. Most of the tools were provided, but I did need to use some of my own to complete the setup.

This climber will elevate your cardio workouts to heights you only dreamed about! The quick resistance paired with iFit Live can give you the best workouts you could ask for! Great build quality and fairly easy to move around. Would HIGHLY Recommend!

I’m so glad I chose the NordicTrack Step Climber XL. Assembly was surprisingly manageable—even with a 4-year-old and an infant in tow, it only took us about 2 hours to put everything together. The parts were packed really well, but the box was too heavy to bring inside all at once. We just opened it outside and carried the individual pieces inside, down our small staircase, with no issues at all.

It came with some nice, full-size tools, which I appreciated, but I did need to use my own small Allen wrench to attach the handles—the ones included were a bit too long for the angle needed. Still, assembly was straightforward and felt very doable, even with distractions.

Once it was set up, I was immediately impressed with how smooth the motion is. It feels really natural and low-impact, but I still get an amazing burn in my legs fast—perfect for getting in an efficient workout while the kids are occupied. The iFIT experience makes it even better. I love the variety of workouts and locations, and it really helps me stay motivated. It’s something I actually look forward to using each time, which says a lot when time and energy are both limited.

Highly recommend for any parent looking for a solid, effective, and enjoyable workout at home!
