Diamondback Stair Stepper – Quality Machine for a Quality Workout

You may have heard of Diamondback before.  You may even have a Diamondback product in your garage.  Of course I'm talking about Diamondback bikes.  Today, Diamondback is slowly gaining recognition for its line of fitness equipment sold under the Diamondback Fitness division.  Their line of fitness equipment includes exercise bikes, elliptical trainers, and stair steppers.  When we put this review together, Diamondback had only one model, the 1150St, in its "family of stair steppers."  Despite having only one model, it is one of the more popular stair steppers among consumers and definitely worth taking a look at.

The Diamondback stair stepper 1150St is an excellent workout machine, and it is comparable in many ways to the top of the line Stairmaster models. The model 1150St Diamondback stair stepper, with a suggested retail price of $1,999 offers a great deal of features for such a reasonably priced machine, including a chest strap and a handheld heart monitor for tracking heart rate.

This Diamondback stair stepper also features 20 different resistance levels, with a variety of programs, including the ability to generate random computer generated workout routines for extra variety. The 1150St can store workout routines for two different users, making it a great choice for couples.

The Diamondback stair stepper comes with a lifetime warranty on the frame, a three year warranty on parts and a one year warranty on labor. Those who are pressed for space should know that the Diamondback stair stepper 1150St is a full six inches wider than a Stairmaster, but it is an excellent value at a lower price than the better known brand.

Many fitness experts recommend stair steppers for a more complete workout, and Diamondback stair steppers provide an excellent aerobic workout with a smooth and natural stepping motion. These stair steppers are convenient and easy to use any time, and the Diamondback stair stepper is durable enough to use every day.

The Diamondback stair stepper 1150St features a step range of between 25 and 130 steps per minute, and a welded frame of 14 gauge heavy duty steel with a rustproof coating.

Resistance on the Diamondback stair stepper is provided by a generator brake system, and the resistance is fully user controllable to 20 different levels. In addition, the Diamondback stair stepper is self powered, so there is no need to position it near an electrical outlet. The Diamondback stair stepper has a weight capacity of up to 300 pounds, making it a perfect choice for just about any exerciser.

There are many excellent stair steppers on the market, but the Diamondback stair stepper provides an excellent combination of quality and value. The Diamondback stair stepper 1150St provides many of the features and benefits found on more expensive brands, without the high price.
