The Sunny Health & Fitness Advanced Twist Stepper Machine with Resistance Bands is a compact yet powerful way to achieve a full-body workout at home. Paired with the durable non-slip exercise mat, this set is designed to keep your workouts safe, quiet, and effective, no matter where you exercise.
Unlike standard steppers, this model features a unique “V”-shaped twist action that moves side-to-side, helping you tone your waist, thighs, buttocks, and calves while also engaging your core. Combined with the included resistance bands, you can work your arms, chest, shoulders, and back – making it a truly total-body machine.
Smooth, Sturdy & Safe
Built with expert engineering and a hydraulic drive system, the stepper delivers smooth stepping motions that protect your joints while still burning calories effectively. With a maximum user weight of 100kg (220 lbs), it’s stable enough for daily workouts. The textured pedals and stabilising ring keep you secure, even during vigorous exercise.
The set also includes a multi-purpose protective floor mat. Measuring 130L x 60W cm, it reduces noise, prevents slipping, and shields your floors from scratches, sweat, and equipment damage. Made from high-density, waterproof PVC foam, it’s durable, non-toxic, and easy to wipe clean.
