Description

Independent-pedal stair climber with cushioned steps — from £3,766 with free UK delivery.

The StairMaster FC 8 Series FreeClimber is a climber rather than a stepmill: instead of a revolving staircase, independent pedals move under you with a four-bar linkage, giving a smooth, natural stepping motion and a much lower impact load through the joints. It suits commercial fitness centres and home gyms alike, wherever a smoother, lower-impact climb matters more than the hardest possible cardio hit.

Which console should you choose?

There are two options. The Apex LED at £3,766 is the standard console — Quick Key adjustments and every essential workout metric. It is self-generating, so it powers itself from your climbing and needs no mains supply at all. That is worth knowing before you plan where the machine goes.

The Apex 16 inch HD Touch at £9,995 adds a full HD touchscreen with wireless screen mirroring, interactive content and smart connectivity. It requires a 12V/5A supply, so it has to sit within reach of a socket.

Both consoles run on StairMaster's OpenHub platform, with over-the-air updates and optional real-time machine data through Ecofit, and both include the Command Center: integrated wireless phone charger, USB port, cooling fan and dual bottle holders.

FreeClimber or Gauntlet stepmill — which should you buy?

Buy the FreeClimber for lower impact and a smoother motion. Independent pedals and cushioned steps suit members returning from injury, older users, and anyone who finds a revolving staircase punishing on the knees. It is also the quieter machine.

Buy a Gauntlet stepmill — the 4G from £3,495, 8Gx from £4,995 or 10G from £7,375 — if you want the hardest cardio station you can put on a floor. You are genuinely climbing stairs, so the calorie cost and the transfer to real-world climbing are higher.

Delivery to the UK

Free UK delivery on both console options. Orders are dispatched within 5 working days, with tracking emailed within 24 hours of dispatch, and delivered across UK mainland by our delivery partners. Confirm ceiling height as well as floor area before you order.

Buying for a gym, studio or facility?

Three things worth knowing before you compare quotes.

  • Business finance. On equipment orders of £5,000 and above we can introduce you to Vercas Financial for Hire Purchase, Finance Lease or an unsecured business loan — open to UK limited companies and partnerships of four or more partners. Vercas handles the quote and the paperwork directly; our role is the introduction. The Apex 16 inch HD Touch at £9,995 qualifies on its own; the Apex LED at £3,766 qualifies as part of a wider order. Full terms are on our Business & Commercial Finance page.
  • Installation. Available on many items, arranged before you order and quoted separately — ask us when you enquire rather than expecting it at checkout.
  • Fit before you buy. Send us your ceiling height, floor area and access route and we will confirm it fits before you order. On a climber that is the single most common reason a delivery goes wrong.
