I have been HIIT ( HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training ) for many years now and this complements my Matrix upright indoor bike with another form of exercise until my injury heals so that I can run again. And what a great exercise routine it is! This strengthens all your core muscles, similar to stair climbing while building your cardio quickly. Once you train yourself the proper technique of using this machine your are set. The hardest part is teaching yourself the exercise technique so that you get a good HIIT session. At first, until your core muscles are strengthened and you get the proper balance your workouts will not be as intense but once you establish your technique the workouts become harder and there are plenty of videos to help you along. If you are not getting a hard enough workout at first be patient, when you get better at the technique you will gain speed for those HIIT bursts and even add to your routine intensity by using dumbbells. To do the workout all you need is a HIIT timer and you are ready to go.
The machine is silent and incredibly well built and strong, not a knock-off. About the only thing you need to do for maintenance is wipe the sweat off to prevent any oxidation. It is easy to carry around and takes up no space at all. I can't believe I only heard of this machine now.
There are a couple of people complaining about noise and that is most assuredly coming from improper technique. When using the wrong technique, the bottoms of the pedals bump against the base making loud noise. Once your technique is established that will stop. This is definitely not a poor quality product as some reviewers say and will probably last a life time. A great investment in your health and highly recommended with the build quality being likened to club machines like my Matrix U3X upright.
First, this small gem is solidly constructed. It's a cast aluminum alloy that reminds me very much of airplane aluminum. Unless you happen to get a unit that has a structural defect, this thing isn't going to break on you! The height of the step is about 8 to 10 inches at the rear of the pedals, so overall it feels somewhat comparable to going up actual stairs. It does not, however, have the same gargantuan step as the powered stair machines at your local health club. Then again, if you know the secret to using this machine properly, it doesn't need that kind of range of motion. Watch most people on a stair machine and you see their heads flopping up and down and their shoulders rising and falling with each step... That's exactly what you don't want to happen, but that's how most people use a stepper. To really get a workout on any sort of stair machine, imagine you have a book balanced on your head and you need to step in such a way so that the book remains balanced there. Or imagine you are carrying a cup of scalding hot coffee filled right up to the top of the rim in your hand held out in front of you, and you need to step so that you don't spill that scalding liquid all over yourself. What this imaginary scenario does is forces you to do all the work of stepping with your legs, primarily your gluts, your quads, your hams, and your calves. Then do this at a relatively quick pace, not racing by any means, but not just strolling along like you were walking up some stairs and holding a casual conversation with a friend, either. Get your legs moving. And keep that book/coffee from going wonky on you.
I guarantee you that if you do this, in 30 seconds or less, you're going to start feeling those quad muscles start the burn, and with a few seconds more you'll start to feel it in the other muscle groups as well. If you monitor your heart rate, even though you're not really "racing" along, you're going to find that your heart starts cranking itself up to compensate for the greater oxygen demand your muscles place on you. You'll burn out those quick reserves of glycogen in the muscle tissue, and you'll force your body into replacing them and spending a tremendous amount of energy in the form of burning fat as fuel to do it. This after-workout fuel resupply can go on for as much as 24 to 48 hours continuously, after your workout is over, depending on how long your push yourself and to what degree of intensity during the workout. If you use some sort of interval training, like Tabata intervals (20 seconds of hard work followed by 10 seconds of less intense recovery work, repeated for a total of 8 to 10 minutes) and you keep it up for 10 to 20 minutes, you're setting yourself up for a lot of improvement to your cardiovascular system not to mention the improvements to your waistline, if that is one of your goals.
In my opinion, the price for this device could probably come down a little. I'm not entirely convinced that for the amount of metal and the casting process, there is $400 worth of work and materials here, but then again, I could be wrong. I have tested out other mini-stepper machines, and most of them quickly develop metal fatigue at this, that, or the other spot and break. That's not going to happen with the solid construction of this unit, and if by chance you got one with a structural defect and it did break, it's got a 5 year manufacturer's warranty, so it can be easily replaced. On cheaper equipment, their hydraulic cylinders start leaking, or squeaking so loudly that you can only use them when there's no one else in the house to bother with the loud sound. And, while I haven't yet encountered any squeaks or creaks with the Xiser's hydraulics, others who have noted a little noise creaking in have said all you need to do is spray a little graphite or other lubricant under the caps of the cylinders and they go right back to being silent. I do know that $400 is still cheaper than a $50/mo membership to a health club for a year, and you're a lot more likely to use this device in your own home regularly, and for more than just a couple of weeks, as is the way with most health club memberships.
The unit is small, and will easily fit beside your shoes in the front hall closet or other small space. It is not heavy; only about 14lbs., which means most of us can pick it up with one hand and move it around wherever we need to use or store it.
Out of all the health machines I've tested and evaluated over the years, this one gets marks as high as any. I highly recommend it.
I use it twice a day - 5 minutes in the morning, 5 in the evening. I cannot go any longer than 5 minutes at a time. My legs get rubbery and weak. The company suggests that good results can be gotten from a minute's use a week. I suppose 1 minute a week would give some benefit, but I gotta push myself to my limit. My routine works for me.
I have to do some stretching because my quads and calves have become a lot tighter/toned. If I didn't stretch I'd walk like a rodeo clown.
It is very sturdy. I have no problems with its engineering. It is silent and smooth in use. Resistance is adjustable. The frame and pedals are cast aluminum, which is different from the usual low gauge welded steel every other (sub $1000) stepper is made from. The frame and pedals should last FOREVER. So far I have had no problems with the hydraulic system leaking. The machine has required zero maintenance.
I see some reviews complaining about the pedals clanging when they are pushed all the way down, so they strike the frame. This can be avoided by the user with the technique of riding the thing advised by the manufacturer. There are several YouTubes available that will give you some tips.
The only criticisms I have are:
1) The cost. But I suppose $400 is not a lot, assuming it will last a lifetime. Which seems possible. I have been using mine for over 2 years, daily, and it is not rickety or loosening up.
And;
2) The size of the machine. I am 6'3" and 220#. I would like the same machine with a base a couple of inches wider. I have almost fallen over a couple of times. But I mastered the technique advised by the manufacturer, and I haven't had that happen in a long time. Place the thing on a hard floor (not carpet) and you shouldn't sway/feel like you might lose your balance.

Top reviews from other countries
I’m a serious heavy-handed trainer, and there is no chance that cheap equipment would survive my 4 x weekly 2 hour workouts. Hence why my cheap X-trainer died.
Enter the X-iser. I paid $750, its made in the USA, it’s light weight, super strong - and very portable. It’s also 10 times dearer than it’s cheapest cousins.
I used to spend 50-60% of my gym time on the X-trainer, the rest on other activities. With the X-iser, I can only spend 20-30% of gym time on it, because it seriously taxes you, quickly gets your heart rate up, and works your core muscles - because there’s nothing to hold onto. Im now stepping with hand weights In a variety of ways, which is so painful, my arms and shoulders scream at me. No pain, no gain.
I place the stepper under my speedball and whilst stepping to music, I hit it at around at 150bpm. Great for timing and balance.
My son owns his own gym, and his jaw dropped when he saw what l have leant to do on the X-iser.
Basically, if you can walk and simultaneously perform an activity, you can get on the X-iser and perform that same activity with way more benefit, in a lot less time. And you can go as fast or slow as you like, with or without weights.
Im not a sales rep, and I would never promote anything for payment - so l can honestly advise you not buy a cheap stepper, as it won’t last, won’t allow the range of tasks, and will disappoint you. I’ll be taking this beast of a thing with my on my holidays.
ステッパーがいいなーと思い探していたところ
こちらの商品に出会いました。
どの商品も長時間使用には向かない、
音がうるさい等のレビューが目立ちましたが、
こちらのXISERは耐久性、静音性ともに抜群です。
届いた時は写真にある箱に梱包されてました。
気になる点は踵部分が当たれば金属同士が当たる
音ぐらいですね。器具の取り付けも簡単です。
他の方のレビューでは2〜3ヶ月で鳥のさえずり
のような音が出るとありましたが…
取り付け器具の油圧ポンプの油切れでしょうか?
大切に使いたいと思います。
2020/3/15 追記
ついに小鳥のさえずりが聞こえてきました…
負荷最大の状態で10分程なウォーキングを
ほぼ毎日していたのですが、
購入時の静音性は既にありません。
シリコンスプレーで改善するかと思いきや、
悪化するだけでした…
油圧式ポンプが別売りされているので、
交換すれば改善はされるでしょうが、
5万近いお金を払ってこれではね…
正直、買って後悔してます。
静音性は確かに良いので評価☆5にしましたが、
早くにそれが失われたので☆2に変えました。
2021/1/29
あれから小鳥のさえずりを無視して
使い続けましたが、いつのまにか購入時の静音性が
戻っていました。使い込めばキコキコする音は改善するのかもしれませんね。
説明書の注意事項にある通り30分以上は使わないようにして、大事に使いたいと思います!

なんせ高い買い物なのでレビューが長くなってしまうのはご了承下さい。
届いて最初に思ったのが割と小さいのだなということです。持ち運びできるよう設計されており、折りたたまれた状態で届きます。その状態での体積は0.5(縦)×0.3(幅)×0.08(高)mと非常にコンパクトで、急な来客があった時でも適当な家具の下にしまっておけるのでとても便利です。
重さは以前使っていたものの2/3ととても軽いです。重さだけでなく、上記のように厚さ0.08の長方形になるので数字以上に軽く感じます。
デザインは消費カロリーやタイマーを表示するための小さいディスプレイが無くすっきりとしています。
シリンダーと本体とが分離しており、自分で組み立てなくてはいけないですが何せパーツが2つだけなので説明書を読まなくても組み立てられると思います。
説明書は英語で書かれていますが、6ページ構成で前半3ページは組み立て方法と負荷の調節方法等で、割と大事な部分なので写真付きで説明されています。見出しの一文と写真の注釈の2語程度読めれば十分に理解できます。残りの3ページは使用上の注意点(バランスの取れる場所で使いましょうという程度)と使用方法ですので多分日本語の説明書がついていても読み飛ばす部分だと思います。
次に音についてですが、最後まで踏み込んだ時にスッテプ部分と台座部分がぶつかって音を立てます。なので間に布を挟んだり最後まで踏み込まないようにしたりとちょっとした工夫はいります。そういう対策を講じたうえで階下の同居人に使用音を感じたか尋ねたところ「わかるといえばわかるが気になるほどではない」程度だそうです。
耐久性についてはこの製品の最大の売りだと思います。他社製品が連続使用30分程度を推奨する中、この製品は明確な定めがなく別の作業をしながらでも使用できます。時間を気にする必要がないというのは想像以上にありがたいです。
その他で個人的にうれしかったポイントが踏み込むときの負荷が終始一定しているという点です。というのも、以前使っていた他社製品は踏み始めがとにかく固く、10分間踏み続けてようやくちょうどいい負荷になるという具合だったのです。その最初の10分間が苦痛でなかなかステッパーに乗る習慣がつきませんでした。結果、2か月もしないうちに物置に眠ることになりました。いくら比較的安いとはいえ、運動習慣がつかないのでは本末転倒なので、そこだけで4倍近い値段を出した価値はあったと思います。
あと、組み立てが必要というのは人によっては敬遠する要素になるかと思いますが、シリンダーが分離しているということはシリンダーがだめになっても本体ごと買いなおす必要がないということなのでその点経済的なのかなとも思います。
値段が値段なので勇気のいる買い物ではありますが、私自身ここで妥協して中途半端に高い他社製品を買って後悔した身ですので、ぜひこちらを買うことをお勧めします。
