3.0 out of 5 stars Better Have Small Feet, May 22, 2006
By 
This review is from: The Step F1004 Step Workout System (Sports)
I bought this thinking it was like the step benches used in the clubs. It is, except it's a whole lot smaller. I think it would be fine for a smaller person, but if you're 5'8" with feet to match, you'll spend most of your time hoping you don't fall off the step. The quality of the product is good and the video they send with it is good. Just don't assume it's the size you're used to if most of your stepping has been at a health club.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great step for home!!, April 15, 2006
By 
SteppingFool (Bergen County, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Step F1004 Step Workout System (Sports)
This is the perfect step for at home. It's slightly shorter than steps you'd typically find at gym clubs and the risers are rectangular instead of square and take up less space. The risers also have cut outs on the bottom which are perfect for dyna bands or other resistance bands.

As for the video, Cathe Friedrich is one of the best step instructors out there. I've been stepping for 14 years and found this routine, to give a great cardio work out. It definitely is not for the beginner, however, with time and repetition a beginner could pick it up.

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product!, September 9, 2005
This review is from: The Step F1004 Step Workout System (Sports)
I'm a single mother with a full-time job, taking part-time graduate classes are night. I have very little time to myself, let alone any time to go to the gym. I needed something that was fun and energizing to do at home, after my child went to sleep. I found the PERFECT product! I recommend this to anyone that wants to get a good workout in the comfort and privacy of their own home!

5.0 out of 5 stars Indeed, a great workout. Be aware though..., December 10, 2006
This review is from: The Firm Sculpting System (Sports)
....that this is the same as the FIRM "original" Body Sculpting System out a few years back with Jen Carmen "Body Sculpt", Lisa Kay "Ab Sculpt" and Allie DelRio (Now Pointer)"Cardio Sculpt". Very effective workouts, all on one nifty DVD now.

5.0 out of 5 stars I only wish it was on DVD at this price!, September 3, 2007
I've had this set, purchased for twice this cost at Target, for about 4 years. It helped me to lose about 40 pounds in six months. I have NEVER been one to exercise, especially anything aerobic. Once I got the hang of the steps, it was a breeze. (I am not especially coordinated!) The quick results are highly motivating.

The Firm tapes are not perfect. Sometimes the transitions are too fast, but I know when to hit the pause button while I pick up the weights I need, or to move the fanny lifter. I would also like some better music. But basically, I like the ability to work at different levels, and the motivating instructors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, February 25, 2007
By 
This review is from: The Firm Sculpting System (Sports)
This is the same system released 4+ years ago.(This is the Fanny Lifter-not the Box and not the Transfirmer-the wider steps.)

I was very out of shape-couldn't make it up stairs without being out of breath. It was very tough starting up...I couldn't make it through a whole workout until almost the 10th workout. I went from a size 16 to a size 6. Because of this system I have fallen in love with exercise and feeling/looking great!

Allie, Lisa and Jen are great leads!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Small Spaces, December 22, 2008
By 
10-2-Go (Beaumont, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Step F1053 Home Trainer (Sports)
I needed a small step so I could work out in my carpeted office during my lunch break (ah, the life of a busy working parent!). This is just the right size for that purpose. It's sturdy, even though, as other reviewers noted, the platform does not lock onto the risers--I've jogged up and down on it, jumped on and off, with and without the risers, and it doesn't move. Its only fault is that it makes a pretty loud noise as you step on it because it's hollow. I'm trying to figure out how to dampen the sound so I don't bother people in adjacent offices. I should have bought the two-riser model, though. Just remember, this is a smaller model than those used in gyms.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, February 15, 2008
This review is from: The Step F1053 Home Trainer (Sports)
This product is OK. It is not quite as big as I expected it to be. It does serve its purpose and I can use it easily in a small space. You just have to be careful and watch where you step. If you are used to using the bigger gym size steps it is easy to miss the step.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for tighter spaces!, December 31, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: The Step F1053 Home Trainer (Sports)
I was concerned that this step would be too small since I am used to the steps found at my local gym but thankfully it was smaller because any larger would have made it too big to use in my apartment. Surprisingly, I had no trouble adjusting to the size of the step and I really enjoy using it. I recommend this product for those who want to enjoy a workout at home but their living space is limited.
