I had this step system for about 4 months before the first small piece broke off the bottom attachments. The result was, when I pick the thing up, the bottom attachment falls off. I still used it, but then recently another small part fell off. Now, when I pick up the Reebok product, the bottom sections just fall off. I expected more for $ 79. I would not buy this again. The build of the upper part is really good, but the small parts are just not reliable.

This step is an excellent investment. The MSRP is currently $79.99 (January, 2006). I’ve tried some less expensive steps (about half the price) but they were usually too narrow and I felt uncomfortable using it, so I didn’t. This one is very stable and wide enough to allow taller people (I’m 6 feet tall) to properly perform the exercises. This one also adjusts to three heights – 6″, 8″, and 10″ so you can increase the intensity of your workout as you increase your skills. The non-skid surface is also wonderful because as you sweat during your workout, you won’t have to worry about creating a slick and unsafe surface.
Don’t spend $80 trying two or three other steps, only to find them lacking and then have to spend even more money on yet another step — start this one and be happy.
Mine came with a VHS tape containing an overview of the basic moves performed during a step workwork along with an actual workout. The audio quality of tape is poor and the camera angle changes too frequently to be able to watch any one person performing the moves. This makes it difficult when first performing the workout, but it does get easier after a few attempts.
Still, it would have been nice to have a DVD included instead of a tape. Now that we’ve entered the 21st century, I think more people own DVD players than VHS players. The sound quality probably wouldn’t be an issue on a DVD and it would make it easier for beginners to skip to the end (where the section on how to perform the basic steps exists) rather than fast forwarding and rewinding all the time.
I would therefore recommend picking up a step workout on DVD along with this product.
The tape also makes reference to a booklet that is presumably included, but mine didn’t include a booklet. Not sure if they stopped including a booklet but didn’t change their tape or not.
I thought about giving a 4 rating instead of 5 because of the poor quality tape and the apparent lack of a booklet, but the step itself is worth the 5 star rating and I didn’t want to detract from that fact.

After researching the best steppers and being a former user of Step Reebok “VIDEO” which I loved I decided on The StepReebok Stepper.
THE BEST PART OF IT IS:
1. It’s very durable, I expect to have this forever.
2. It’s sturdy and well built. This baby stays exactly where you lay it down.
3. It is wide enough to allow the user to move freely.
THE WORST PART:
1. Putting it together was a B&TCH.
2. It has four (I’ll call them tabs) which took two days for me to figure out how to pull them out, if I should pull them out and what would happen when I did pull it out.
3. Well there were no directions on the website or the box or the Video on how to assemble it so I just took a chance and a pair of scissors and screw driver and pulled them out (black tabs) and adjusted the height for the Stepper and put them back in.
5. Now every time I want to change height I will have to do the same thing. Whose bright idea was this?
Over all great equipment, worth the money[...].

I’m not sure what was so challenging for some of the other reviewers here when they were trying to figure out how to adjust the height on this step system. Pops apart and back together in several different configurations for me with little problem – just apply a little upper body strength and presto!
This step system is expensive, but worth the cost. Why? Cheaper products slip and slide and wobble when you get into a vigorous workout. This step system doesn’t. If I suddenly flop off the step because it flips while I’m stepping up or down, and I break an ankle or drop a 20 pound dumbbell on my head then a cheaper product has already cost me a lot more in medical bills than I might have saved buying a “wobbly.” Sometimes it’s better to pay up front. Choosing the right step system is one of those times.
This step system is rock solid on a mat, tile or carpet. It adjusts to all the positions I need, and I’m pleased with my purchase.

I’d been thinking about getting a step for a while, but hesitated because nearly every step I looked at seemed poorly built and expensive for what you got. Also, I am not a petite person. With size 12 shoes and weighing around 200 pounds, the weight limits on most of the steps had me wondering. I am so happy I bought this step!
It’s large enough that there is plenty of room in every direction for any type of movement, even with my big feet. It is sturdy. I have not heard a creak or felt any give that shouldn’t be there, no matter how hard I step on it (normally the goal is to step lightly, of course, but once in a while a mistep may come down reasonably hard). It has not even hinted at tipping or flipping, even when I’m working right on the edge of the step for stretching and such. It has a non-slip surface on top and non-slip feet on the bottom and just the right amount of cushion. Mine came with a DVD, but I normally use it with my Denise Austin workouts. It really does boost your heartrate, even at the lowest level. I’ve got bad knees, so I need a low impact workout that does not beat up my joints and using the step fits the bill. Well worth the money.
