Original Aerobic Platform – Circuit Size

The Step Original Aerobic Platform (circuit size) is a solid 5-star piece of fitness gear.It’s a **made-in-USA, heavy-duty step bench** that comes with the classic grey top and sturdy black risers. The risers lock in well, don’t wobble, and allow you to adjust between multiple heights so you can scale your workouts from beginner cardio to more advanced strength and plyometric routines. The platform surface has a **non-slip texture** that feels secure even during fast step-ups or lateral moves, and it’s wide enough for comfort without being bulky for home use.Durability is a standout—built from tough, recyclable material, it doesn’t bend or creak even under heavy loads, and it’s rated to support high weight limits. The compact “circuit size” makes it **ideal for home gyms**, apartments, or small workout spaces while still being versatile for aerobics, HIIT, or bench-style exercises.Bottom line: a **reliable, no-frills step platform** that delivers exactly what it promises—stability, adjustability, and durability for years of workouts. Definitely worthy of an r5.

Rock solid while using even though all 4 risers are independently placed. Boy, 8” high is a lot taller than I remember, but no worries with slipping because of the risers or the non-slip surface on top of the platform. This has really helped me regain strength in my quads after an ankle injury and moving out of a house that had stairs (the best built-in gym IMO) and into a house and neighborhood that has no steps or even curbs. You don’t realize how much you lose when you’re not going up and down stairs all day. AND - it’s made in America!

Down 3lbs and several inches in 2 weeks! Love this sturdy step with the risers. Only downside is it’s rough in the hands for burpees and things like that but a simple pair of gloves could help with that. High quality, very happy with my purchase!

This is a high quality and durable stepper that is lightweight and easy to adjust the height. But, it is highly unstable, especially if you don't step on the center of the step. Since it comes in pieces, it's not easy to maneuver or transport unless you keep the original box. To help with stability and maneuverability, I used double-sided tape to attach the feet and keep them in place. I wish there was some way the height adjusters could be locked in place to provide a safer step platform.

I just started virtual physical therapy for my ankle and one of my exercises utilized a step. I saw multiple, more expensive options available but thought I'd give this a try. So far so good. It is sturdy and sufficient for my weight (200 pounds). Some of the reviewers expressed concern about the step flexing. I don't feel unstable, I think the flex (using 2 risers) is an appropriate level of give for higher intensity moves. At this point I am using a single step, but I appreciate the option to add height as I get stronger.I had wondered about the size, the dimensions are smaller than some of the steps on the market, but this size is perfect for step exercises (not for utilizing as a bench to lie on). It is great for my size 10 feet, and I wouldn't want to go larger. It is big enough for my needs but compact enough to move around and store easily when not in use.

This stepper is perfect for me and exactly what I was looking for. It is very similar to the ones you’ll find in the gym. I don’t think it is too small as some reviews say, maybe if you’re really tall or have large feet. I am 5’1” and wear size 7 shoes and it is perfect for me. I also don’t think it’s flimsy, I weigh 180 and have no issues. I think it’s a great price.

It’s a great if you’re just doing standard step, but it’s advertised that you can use as an incline for the teal which is what I have, the photos indicate two levels for the incline, but if you look at the pictures for the pink, you can see that they have it stacked up all four. I have tried anywhere between 2 to 4 and because these do not lock in the place or have a grippy material, it slides all over the place, totally defeats the purpose of the reason I got it. So I’m gonna have to spend more money and order no slip grip tape and see if I can MacGyver it to be more sturdy. I also bought the full length one which is great that one is great for incline but a bit long, that’s why I also bought the circuit size, so far I’m disappointed in that fact, but what can you gonna do lol no other brands offer an inclined step so I am still going to use it.**updated**Grip tape did not work lol wasting money trying to make this efficient. Took a star away because of how unstable this is, I have to be hyper focused on my balance when using incline so I don’t shift it and end up falling lol, if u want an incline stepper, definitely go for the full size one and not this circuit one. This is not good for fast paced stepping, for my experience anyway. Scary to use

I bought this stepper for my 81 year old father to use as an exercise tool to strengthen his ankles and calves. He and his wife started using it right away. It was the perfect height for their skill level and needs. It comes with 2 risers for each side for a total of 4.The things they loved:-sturdy construction-non slip platform-wide surface area-non-slip base-lightweight-adjustabilityThe only drawback is that the bases don't stay together when being moved from place to place. Still 5 star worthy as the construction and ease of use and safety is the most important.
