I love the fact that it's so sturdy. I never feel unsafe when I'm using it, and I think it'll last for years and years, if not decades.
I love the fact that I can change the height so easily. It makes the platform more versatile. (Right now, I'm just beginning step aerobics again after a knee injury, and I have it at its lowest height, which is pretty low. In a week or two, I'll be adding height to the platform, and that's so easy to do.)
I love the fact that I can store it so easily. When I'm not injured, I usually store it in my bedroom closet because, with a platform bed, I can't store it under the bed. There is no "under the bed" space. Right now, though, due to my injury, I'm sleeping on a futon on the ground floor on my home, and I store this between two bookcases. It's out of the way, and it won't fall. It's so easy to slide out every morning and every evening when I do my stepping.
I love the fact that the surface is non-skid, especially since I'm recovering from an injury.
I really love the fact that I'm gaining strength and mobility, as well as cardiopulmonary fitness, with every workout.
If you've done step aerobics before, you know how great a workout it can be. If you haven't done step aerobics, please know it's an exercise that strengthens your legs, helps your balance, and gives you a good aerobic workout as well. If you're just beginning exercise, however, take it slow. You'll see more progress if you build slowly but steadily. Consistency is the key. And if you have a medical condition, be sure to check with your doctor first.
I think this is the best aerobic platform I could have purchased. I love it, and I expect to gain a lot of strength and mobility from it very quickly. It's been a real blessing for me.
Though the first step I purchased has an overall rating of 4.5 stars, somehow I missed that there were only about 50 reviews when I made my purchase, and that a good number of the 4 and 5 star reviews were NOT written by verified purchasers.
In comparison, The Original Step has an overall rating of 4.8 stars with nearly 5000 reviews, which were all written by verified purchasers from what I've seen.
Performance-wise, The Original Step is 1000% better than the other exercise step I purchased (which I'm returning). The Original Step is sturdy and stays put on any surface, but I still use a yoga mat underneath for extra security. The other step had absolutely no grip or traction and kept lifting and shifting even during a low impact/low intensity workout with a yoga mat placed underneath.
Aside from that, the Original Step was only slightly (approx $14) more expensive than the other step. The price of the other step has since dropped by almost $20, but it's still overpriced if you ask me.
Bottom line, don't even entertain buying a different brand. IF you do decide to go with a different brand, be sure to compare the specs with that of The Original Step. And make sure you thoroughly check the reviews. If it has a high rating, but a majority of the 4 and 5 star reviews were NOT written by verified purchasers...PASS!
I bought both this and the yes4all, less expensive version to test. This felt more stable, therefore I kept it, despite the two indentations/ channels beneath the top covering. They make the top surface feel uneven under feet with socks on them so one would always wear sneakers. I know that they give the top its stability, like mini beams... however, it would be an easy fix to add injection-molded components along these to make the top actually flat with minimal cost, if the manufacturer wanted to.
Pluses: They work great. I use them for Les Mills body pump and they are perfect for that. They have a nice surface for lying down and doing bench presses. They don’t slip (yet) doing lunges. You can stack and use them at an angle if that’s what you need. There’s even a place to put your hands when you’re doing certain Pilates moves. I bought a cheap bench early in Covid and, well, I upgraded to these.
Minuses: 1) These are bulky. You won’t be able to hide them away. 2) They don’t click-fit together, which isn’t a problem when you’re using them. It just means they are awkward to carry across the floor in one trip. 3) They are as attractive and stylish as a 1990s blow-molded plastic cooler.
Next step up: Maybe you’re lucky and your gym now has Les Mills steps. Those are better and even though they cost $50 more, they are in high demand and sold out. Good luck finding them.
These will do.

Strong and durable.
The Step F1011W comes with two sets of legs which can be applied when needIng a different height. I find the length of the Step F1011W to be the proper size for performing the routines as well as secured to the floor especially when standing or stepping to one end of the unit. I am very pleased with my purchase.
Llego rápido y en excelentes condiciones. Gracias :)
