The Series 8 Gauntlet StepMill by Stairmaster is a commercial-rated step machine with revolving stairs to provide a cardio workout experience to the exerciser of true stairclimbing. For nearly 30 years, the StairMaster StepMill has been called the toughest workout in the gym. Now you can bring that same toughness to your home workouts with the totally redesigned GAUNTLET. The Gauntlet StepMill is easy to recognize - it's the piece of cardio equipment that looks brutal compared to all the others, with a revolving set of 8-inch stairs that closely duplicates the workout of actual stair climbing. Each time you mount the Gauntlet StepMill, the unit's electronically controlled, chain-driven alternator precisely controls the pedal descent, allowing a wide range of users to exercise smoothly within their comfort zones. The resulting step range of 26 to 162 steps per minute will strengthen your legs, boost your cardio, and challenge even the fittest of users.
The Gauntlet Series 8 StepMill offers the core mechanics of our previous models wrapped in a stylish look and enhanced functionality to create a next-generation experience. The Gauntlet offers plenty of workout options, with such programs as quick start, manual, fat burner, calorie burner, intervals, bell-shaped, build, mystery challenge, steady, and heart rate zone trainer. The console also offers a nationally recognized multi-stage fitness test that gauges your individual progress, along with a custom firefighter test (CPAT) that measures your cardiopulmonary endurance and muscular strength. (Firefighting is considered one of the most physically demanding jobs in North America, which is why the CPAT is such a natural fit with the StepMill.) Finally, with the LCD console it's easy to track your progress thanks to the easy-to-read LCD display, which tracks your speed, distance, floors climbed, calories burned, and much more. As a bonus, the LCD console is designed to integrate with the optional MYE 15.6-inch HD Personal Viewing Screen, so you can easily keep up to date with your favorite soap opera or sports team.

The LCD display provides all the functionality you need in a sleek, modern package. With standard features like Bluetooth connectivity, VA glass and USB charging, this is the LCD screen that is anything but standard.

Which is the right Stairmaster for me?
You have many options and may need some help picking the perfect Stairmaster or Stair Climber for your home. A few things you’ll want to look at before purchasing are size, programs, warranty, and price.
Size / Floor Space
Some Stairmasters are built with commercial workout facilities in mind and maybe too large and bulky for your home gym. If you have the space and the budget, a commercial-grade Stairmaster would be a great addition to your gym but be mindful of the dimensions and the area you have to work with, and most importantly, how high your ceilings are. You do not want to be bumping your head on the ceiling during workouts!
Price
You get what you pay for with Stairmasters and Stair Climber! High-end machines feature top-notch programs, lifetime warranties, bright LCD screens, and all the bells and whistles you could need. Shop around and research to make sure you find the machine you need. You could save quite a large chunk of money by eliminating certain features or choosing the smaller Stairmaster.
Warranty
Stairmasters are complicated machines, and regular maintenance is required to keep them in peak form. They are prone to breakdowns or minor issues after years of usage. You’ll want to shop for a Stairmaster or Stair Climber with a solid warranty to ensure peace of mind for years.
