Stair-stepper workout Mode

The Difference in the Treadles

When you use the Bowflex® TreadClimber® fitness machine in a TreadClimber® Workout mode, the treadles move- in an up and down motion, while the belts operate as a treadmill moving around the treadle deck. You can turn off the function which makes the belts move around the treadle deck. By stopping the belts from moving around the treadle deck you have transformed your Bowflex® TreadClimber® fitness machine into a stepping machine. The treadles will continue to move up and down, however, the belts will no longer move around the treadle deck stopping the walking motion. Instead of walking on the belts, you will step on them, just like a StairMaster® stepping machine. To change your TreadClimber® fitness machine into a stepper workout machine follow the instructions below.
