The HOFTME Stair Stepper Vertical Climber is a foldable, full-body workout machine designed for home fitness enthusiasts. With its sturdy steel frame, adjustable incline, and upgraded large pedals, it combines the benefits of a stair stepper and vertical climber into one powerful training tool. Whether you’re looking to burn calories, strengthen muscles, or boost endurance, this space-saving machine is built to deliver results.
Realistic Climbing Motion for Full-Body Training
Engineered to mimic the natural movement of rock climbing, the HOFTME climber blends aerobic exercise with strength training. It specifically targets the legs, glutes, abs, and core, while engaging the upper body through stabilisation.
Adjustable Incline and Pedal Angles
Customise your workout with three pedal incline settings: 10°, 0°, and -10°. This allows you to change intensity and muscle targeting:
Lower Incline (0°): Best for beginners and steady cardio sessions.
Higher Incline (+10°): Adds resistance for faster calorie burning.
Negative Incline (-10°): Engages different muscle groups for variety.
Comfort and Stability for All Users
The machine features adjustable handrails to fit different user heights, along with large non-slip pedals for a secure stance. This ensures safe, stable, and comfortable workouts for a wide range of users.
Smooth, Joint-Friendly Motion
The 45° climbing motion is ultra-smooth, reducing pressure on knees while still delivering an intense workout. It’s a joint-friendly alternative to running, jogging, or plyometric exercises.
Compact, Foldable, and Easy to Store
Ideal for home gyms and small spaces, the HOFTME stepper folds down to just 55.9 × 86 × 132.3 cm with a slim 15.2 cm thickness. This makes it simple to store in a corner or against a wall when not in use.
Strong and Durable Construction
Built with a triangular steel frame, the machine supports up to 110 kg. The robust design eliminates wobbling, keeping workouts safe and consistent.
Track Your Progress with Digital Display
