For me...just okay. Date: November 13, 2009
"I would have preferred a DVD with the mini-stepper to give you ideas of how to mix up the workout, the CD wasn't very useful to me. It is a little repetitive and the hand grips on the bands seem to be akward for me. One last thing, when I use it the steps make a sqeaking noise as I am working out, I am not that big to begin with and purchased it to keep me in shape when it is chilly weather. For me it is just an okay product."

Love this stepper! Date: November 7, 2009
"I purchased this stepper two months ago and I love it. I use it every morning. I do not used the resistance cords, it is easy to balance yourself without them. This mini stepper is made well, compact and moves smoothly (only a little squeaky)."

Does the trick Date: October 22, 2009
"The mini-stepper is a pretty good workout, although, as a clutz, I have a little trouble with the cords. The bonus CD packaged with the stepper is a walking workout, unrelated to anything you can do on the mini-stepper."

"Small, easy to use. I wanted something small, compact, easy to use, easy to store just for aerobic use only. I did have to shorten the straps cause I'm only 5'3", but it was not biggy. I took apart the handles and made a bigger knot. It took a bit of muscle to get it back together, but now it is perfect. Sometimes I go 30 minutes, sometimes I go 5 minutes on and off throughout the evening. Love it!"

Not for me Date: May 31, 2009
"I found myself getting bored on this, because of the repetitiveness. I made me realize I needed a more dynamic workout. I did love how small it was and easy to store, and I appreciated the resistance cords. It was kind of squeaky too, which was annoying, but I lubricated the joints and it didn't seem to effect it negatively."

This little machine ROCKS! Date: July 16, 2008
"I love this little stepper! I've used gym sized steppers and never liked them; they scare me with all the gadgets and stuff to adjust before you use them. This little gem is simple, fun, but most of all EFFECTIVE! If you need to work out, have little space and the like, this machine is for you! I can't use it enough and if you stick with it, a good diet and a helathy lifestyle, you will get fit!"
