The StairMaster 8GX Gauntlet brings together demanding cardiovascular training and lower-body conditioning in one of the most recognisable stepmill formats in commercial fitness.

Its updated drivetrain delivers smooth, controlled stepping across 20 resistance levels from 24 to 162 steps per minute, while the 25 × 56 cm steps provide a stable climbing surface for sustained training and high-intensity intervals.

Integrated controls within the ergonomic handrails allow users to adjust their workout without changing their climbing position. Contact and telemetric heart-rate monitoring, a low 23 cm step-up height and multiple hand positions support a wide range of users and training styles.

The Apex LED console provides Quick Start and Quick Key control, 14+ programmed workouts including Landmark Challenge, wireless phone charging, USB-A and USB-C charging, Wi-Fi connectivity, over-the-air updates and smartwatch Tap-to-Pair functionality.

Built around a commercial powder-coated steel frame and generator drive system, the 8GX is suited to busy gyms, performance facilities, education sites and other demanding fitness environments.
