Types Of Stair Climbers We Offer In Canada
ClimbMill
The ClimbMill is one of the most popular stair climbers on the market. Designed by Matrix, ClimbMills were created to burn a lot of calories while toning your lower body. Matrix advertises the ClimbMill as delivering “a natural, club-quality stair-climbing workout that fits your space”. ClimbMills have a few standard features, including:
- 24-137 steps per minute
- A 10.5” step-on height
- A 9” step depth
- The Exact Force induction brake resistance system
The ClimbMill allows you to precisely change resistance with the push of a button; it also offers industry-leading safety features like an auto pause control zone, reversible steps, and emergency stop buttons for a secure stair climbing experience.
The console on ClimbMills is variable; features include:
- Wi-Fi connectivity
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Heart straps
- A USB port
- Cardio programs
- Web browsers
Workouts are fun, but they can be a bit repetitive; Matrix has fitted the ClimbMill with what is essentially a full entertainment console. You won’t get bored climbing these stairs!
Steppers
We offer one incredible stepper: The Jacobs Ladder. This unique stepper was designed to create a high-intensity, low-impact workout while burning calories at a much higher rate than traditional treadmills.
The Jacobs Ladder is a perfect choice for people with joint pain or injuries who are looking for an intense workout. The unit is also self-powered; you can add it to your home gym even if all of your outlets are in use. The power provided to the Jacobs Ladder during your workout runs a digital feedback system that offers essential information, including:
- Elapsed time
- Feet climbed
- Climbing rate (speed)
- Calories burned
The natural, 40-degree angle of the Jacobs Ladder mimics natural climbing, reducing stress on your body and making it easier to work out harder for longer. You get an upper body and lower body workout!
Benefits Of Steppers And ClimbMills
Steppers and ClimbMills offer a number of advantages. The biggest selling point for these machines is the sheer number of calories they burn; they offer an incredibly intense workout, which reduces the amount of time you need to spend on the machine to burn the same amount of calories.
Another major advantage of these machines is that they offer a lower-body workout, especially ClimbMills. You’ll feel the workout in your glutes, quads, and hamstrings; you may also get a bit of a workout in your calves.
The main point where these workouts differ is in their impact. Jacobs Ladders may provide less of a lower-body workout, but they offer far less impact. ClimbMills, on the other hand, have as much or more impact than a treadmill.
How To Decide On The Right Stepper For Your Goals And Budget
Deciding on the right stepper for your goals starts with deciding between the Jacobs Ladder and the ClimbMill. Here are two questions to ask yourself:
- Are you looking for a low-impact, high-intensity workout? If so, opt for the Jacobs Ladder.
- Are you looking for a high-intensity workout that also provides an incredible lower-body workout? If so, the ClimbMill is the stepper for you.
Beyond this, you’ll want to choose a console for your ClimbMill. Different consoles offer different features; some have more powerful speakers or larger screens for a better viewing experience. Contact us if you’re not sure; we can help you choose the right unit for your needs and budget.

Steppers And ClimbMills Frequently Asked Questions
Are stair steppers actually effective for losing weight?
Yes, steppers and ClimbMills are typically better at burning calories than treadmills. You have to work against gravity, and there are more muscles involved - that means more energy being expended, which means more calories getting burned.
As with any exercise, consistency is key, and it’s important to remember that diet and exercise are both crucial elements to weight loss.
What is the difference between a stair stepper & a stepmill?
Stair steppers have two pedals that move up and down; they simulate the motion of stepping and use a pushing motion. Stepmills like the ClimbMill, on the other hand, use actual steps that you climb as they move down below you; it’s a much higher impact, higher intensity exercise.
The Jacobs Ladder is called a stepper, but it’s not a classic stair stepper; it’s somewhat closer to a low-impact stepmill.
What does the ClimbMill do for your body?
The ClimbMill burns a lot of calories while working your glutes, quads, and hamstrings.
What happens if you do the stair stepper every day?
Using a stepper or stepmill every day can help you burn a lot of calories; you’ll see your lower body develop more tone, too. Be careful about using it every day (or doing any exercise every day). Overexertion can lead to injuries, and injuries stop you from working out. Take breaks when you need to!
