People loved them but they had so many problems with mechanical breakdowns that almost every one sold commercially had to be scrapped. As far as the workout, a regular treadmill works, or the Stairmaster Stepmill is a better workout for climbers.
Stairs do work fine, but I find that in new England they are either covered in ice, or it's 90 degrees with 80% humidity about half the year.Luciano136 wrote:Or if you have stairs, running up and down them is quite effective as well. I did that once as a last minute effort to get some additional training. It seemed to work well.
