Overview
A 16 x 16 x 4 inch aerobic step platform with 4 removable 2-inch risers, letting you adjust height from 4 to 12 inches. It's made of high-density polyethylene with a non-slip surface and holds up to 275 lb.
The riser system is the core feature: rather than a fixed-height platform, you stack or remove the 2-inch risers to change the challenge level of step workouts, cardio circuits or strength moves. The shock-absorbing platform surface is aimed at reducing impact on joints during repeated stepping.
- 16 x 16 x 4 in platform with 4 included risers
- Adjustable height 4-12 in
- High-density polyethylene construction
- 275 lb weight capacity
Who it's for
Home gym users doing step aerobics, cardio or strength circuits who want adjustable height in one platform. Less useful for anyone needing a wider platform for two-person or partner step routines.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Adjustable 4-12 in height via 4 removable risers
- Non-slip, shock-absorbing platform surface
- 275 lb weight capacity
- Compact 16 x 16 in footprint for home storage
- 16 x 16 in platform is sized for one person
- No reviews yet to confirm long-term riser stability
- Height changes require manually adding or removing risers
Performance notes
Height changes by adding or removing the 2-inch risers underneath the platform, so the same unit covers beginner and more advanced step heights without buying separate equipment. The high-density polyethylene construction combined with the non-slip surface is what the 275 lb weight capacity and shock absorption are built around.
