Walking pads and foldable treadmills have been one of the biggest product trends in the wellness space this year, and while we love their versatility and compact design, sometimes you’re in the mood for a more high-intensity workout. I used to love using the StairMaster back when I had a gym membership, and since I’ve transitioned to a home gym, I’ve definitely missed the bum-sculpting workout.
Sadly, most home stair climbing machines are anywhere between $2,000-$4,000+ a pop—there’s not as much of a range in pricing as there is for fitness bikes and treadmills. There are some options for under $300 on Amazon, but they look… flimsy, to say the least. Naturally, when I learned Echelon had debuted an affordable, foldable stair climber, I had to get all the details.
