ABOUT STAIRMASTER
It was back in 1983 at the National Sporting Goods Association trade show that three American entrepreneurs first revealed the StairMaster brand to fitness culture. On display was none other than the iconic, the original, the globally recognized StairMaster 5000 which was basically nothing more than a never ending mobile and motorized staircase. Brilliant!
Between 1988 and 2010 the company had been owned by 7 different brands, the most recent of which is Core Health and Fitness. Each owner along the way added something of their own that has helped Stair Climber concretely situate itself in the global fitness industry. In fact, it’s one of the most recognized brand in nearly any gym in the western world.

Burn Body Fat, enhance your lean muscle mass, and amplify your endurance! with the StairMaster Gauntlet
Building on 30 years of experience and proven performance, the StairMaster 8Gx Gauntlet 8 Series Stepmill provides a superior combination of cardio and strength training in our most comfortable design ever. The machine features a deeper, wider step surface with durable, rust-free polypropylene construction and is now available with all three smart, affordable, flexible, OpenHub™ console options. Its combination of quality and innovation delivers a workout that’s head and shoulders above anything else in the gym.
Train Like a Spartan
The Spartan Race community is as resilient as they come and so it makes sense that Spartan would partner with the toughest workout in the gym. The Sprint, Super and Beast are a series of challenging Spartan races held each year around the world. The Spartan Training edition of the StairMaster 8Gx Gauntlet 8 Series Stepmill lets you challenge yourself against other racers, offering 6 race options, 3 different race lengths and one hell of a workout.
Strengths Benefits
The StairMaster 8Gx Gauntlet 8 Series Stepmill has adjustable speed and resistance. Using it requires simple balance, but significant strength. Calves, hamstrings, quadriceps and gluteal muscles are trained by lots of repetitions, which is known for building lean muscle and burning fat. Additionally, increasing the resistance of each stepping motion adds challenge. Core muscles are engaged by keeping your balance, which is more challenging on the Stepmill than other similar equipment.
Physiologic Benefits
The StairMaster 8Gx Gauntlet 8 Series Stepmill makes the user work hard without being hard on the user. The stepping motion incurs less impact than a treadmill, but with higher cardiovascular results. The thoughtfully designed handrails provide a safe grip should a misstep occur, but don’t allow you to cheat by leaning on them. The actual stepping motion forces the foot to remain mostly flat while climbing, versus the pedal format, which does not require the foot to leave the pedal. The stepping motion uses nearly every leg muscle.
StairMaster 8Gx Gauntlet Advance Options
Though the concept of stair climbing itself is basic to most of us, the StairMaster Gauntlet offers significantly more advanced options. The user can reap additional balance benefits by performing climbing backwards or laterally. Elite athletes have been known to add further challenge by stepping with weights strapped to their backs. Endurance is improved by consistently increasing the levels of speed and resistance on the new 8 Series Gauntlet.
The StairMaster 8 Gauntlet and StairMaster Stepper are legendary products that keep getting better over time. The latest product designs – from the look, to the feel to the amazing, new touch screen display – are easily the best in the company’s history, and these features truly make stairclimbing more interesting, more measureable and more motivating!
StairMaster 8G Gauntlet Cardiovascular Benefits
The StairMaster 8 Series Gauntlet is great for cardiovascular exercise due to its ability to raise your heart rate almost immediately. The level you set dictates workout intensity, but even at the lowest levels the heart is definitely getting a workout. Oneshot Fitness, a commercial fitness equipment provider, calls StairMasters “one of the toughest cardiovascular machines on the globe.”
