Trends come and go when it comes to fitness and sports equipment.
However, some machines have managed to withstand the test of time and maintain their popularity, becoming a staple in gyms and home settings around the world.
One such machine captures the heart (and legs) of fitness enthusiasts is the stairist gloves. Its popularity is not only a brief fashion: it stems from a combination of effective exercise, versatility, and a lasting desire for challenging and efficient fitness habits.
At home, Fitness Superstores in Arizona saw an increase in the number of people buying these incredible machines.
“For the longest time, the Ladder Master has been the pinnacle of the Stepmill machine,” said Brian Ikegami, a longtime home-based sales assistant at Fitness-Scottsdale, who also loves to work out on the Ladder Gauntlet machines. “This is the hardest machine to use in most gyms.
“You set the speed and you have to stick with it. It’s much better than a treadmill, but it actually has a lower impact.”
If you are a member of a public gym that has stairwell machines, then it is usually someone will use it. And, “someone” is very suitable.
“Once someone gets into super state at the gym and then they decide they want to work out at home, if they are the guys of the ladder masters, there is nothing else to meet their needs,” Ikegami said. “Once you reach the pinnacle of fitness in a public gym, you have to use the same machine if you want to be at home.
“Everything else is a downgrade from what you’ve been doing, and they almost make commercial ladders a commercial level. There are other brands out there, but in my experience, whenever they try to make a home version, they fail. They have smaller steps and miss the best location for these commercial machines. Stairways are jobs that can’t be done in any job you need.”
The price is high for 10g stair length gloves, 8G and 4G models, but it is worth it to serious fitness enthusiasts who like to do a good job on the machine.
Stair-long glove machines are often called “the ubiquitous escalator” and simulate the movement of climbing stairs or steps. This may sound like a simple concept, but its effectiveness cannot be exaggerated.
Stair climbing is a natural functional movement that attracts multiple muscle groups in the lower body, including quadriceps, hamstrings, calves and hips. This complete low-body interaction makes stair-long gloves a powerful force to burn calories and build strength, ideal for those looking to improve cardiovascular fitness and lower body tone.
