Stair Climber

What It Is

It's a revolving staircase that hits your quads, glutes, lungs, and pride. Every step is bodyweight uphill — no momentum, no shortcuts. It’s used by fighters, athletes, and anyone who’s built to suffer.

Score Recap

Burn Output: 8/10
You’re lifting your full body every step. It burns fast — and deep.
‍
‍Sprint/HIIT Use: 5/10
Not built for speed. It’s a grinder, not a sprinter.
‍
‍Training Versatility: 6/10
Great for long steady climbs or leg-endurance zones — but limited range.
