The 800S Stepper

Welcome to the 800S Stepper, the perfect stepper for any health club or other group exercise
environment. Durability, ease of use, flexible programming, and group racing capability make
it ideal for both individual and partnered workouts.

Features include:

• Simple to Use: Press any key and the 800S Stepper console leads you
through the simple steps to start a workout. Or, just step on and start stepping.

• Continuous Performance Monitoring: The convenient, easy-to-read console shows the
progress of the workout-vertical speed, calories burned, and lots more.

• Built-in Workout Profiles: Six standard workouts offer combinations of calorie burning,
strength training and endurance training to satisfy almost everyone.

• Programmable: Users who want a specific workout profile that's not included in the
standard set can create their own.

• Calorie Goals: Tell the 800S Stepper how long you want to work out and how many
calories you want to burn, and it will set the optimum speed for you.

• Optional Heart Rate Programs: With its optional heart rate monitor; the 800S Stepper
can program a workout to reach and keep you at your optimal heart rate.

• Group Races: Connect up to eight steppers, and have your steppers compete against
each other.

• Setup Mode: You can change the 800S Stepper default settings and limits to match the
way you want to operate.

So, the 800S Stepper is ideal for:

• Someone who's never used a stepper before uses manual mode, setting the speed to
match what he or she can do.

• Regular exercisers who want to push themselves can use the standard programs to
increase strength and endurance.

• Serious athletes who know their abilities and needs can custom-tailor the exact
workouts they want.
