Back in the early 1980s, StairMaster introduced a wild idea based on the motion of climbing stairs. This concept has evolved a lot over time and, nowadays, these stairclimbers have become mandatory pieces of equipment to be found in any self-respecting gym. And that's exactly the case with the particular device you're about to see as follows, namely the StairMaster StepMill SM916 presented by Nautilus, which will help you lose all of that unwanted weight in almost no time.

This advanced sports machine consists of a revolving staircase with 8-inch (20.3 cm) high steps, which closely duplicates the workout of real stairclimbing. Additionally, it has also been equipped with an electronically-controlled alternator with chain drive that precisely controls the pedal descent allowing a wide range of users to exercise smoothly within their comfort zones. Additionally, the speed of the climber can be very easily adjusted, users being able to choose between 24 and 162 steps per minute.

It's also interesting to mention the fact that the device's backlit LCD console, which is used for controlling the device's various functions, can be upgraded by adding a 15-inch LCD TV, which would enable users to watch TV while they're exercising, for example. Other extras include a water bottle holder and accessory tray that are positioned within reach and designed to hold personal items.

Similar to most other products available on the market, the StepMill SM916 is accompanied by a Polar-compatible telemetry heart rate monitoring system, which can be used in order to supervise the user's efforts. Moreover, also quite in the same way as the other products from Nautilus, the device supports a maximum user weight of around 136 kilos.

The StairMaster StepMill SM916 is one of the most expensive products from Nautilus, selling for an estimate 4,500 US dollars, which makes it a suitable product rather for public gyms than home users.
