I first got intoduced to this amazing breakthrough of a workout machine as a member of a particular gym. They carry a brand called maxi. I could literally stay on this for a couple hours at a time.
Then i moved to another gym which carried the lifefitness brand and i cant stay motivated to stay on it past twent minutes and if i do, i am bored to tears. Mind you, the former brand is much harder.
I can tell the difference. It takes subtle and precise engineering to imitate stairs and the whole experience exactly. The former brand does it perfectly. The sense of gravity and really having to work hard.
Though it seems that the lifefitness machine is similar, these differences totally throws off the experience. The former is definitely climbing stairs, the latter feels more like a stairstepper in motion. I dont like it!
I fell in love with that brand and machine. Became addicted to it and adore it. Now i feel like i lost a part of myself going around to different gyms trying out their stepmills trying to find one like it or that one like a long lost love. I was happy, motivated and just darn loved it. Applause to that company.
Im sad and dont frequent the gym much at this new gym anymore. What will i do now? I never fell in love with a piece of equipment before. I really did. I loved everything about it including the preset workout routines, sense and motion, extra usb ports for phone etc. But its not like i can afford to buy a 6 to 10k machine. They are that expensive but awesome. I used to feel such a sense of accomplishment from having climbed the empire state building several times. None of the stress put on joints such as treadmills but gives you one hell of a workout. I really like hiking up an incline and it simulates this perfectly.
I never knew one could be heartbroken over a machine. What will i do now??? Lol
