Doesn't she use the original club step?
https://www.amazon.com/Step-Original...dp/B0007OWSXQ/ That's what I've always used for her workouts. Except I have the older version where the black surface on top has ridges/grooves. Anyone have the newer version vs. the older version and can weigh in on whether the black surface without ridges is better/worse than the old style with ridges/grooves? (I can't believe I'm now tempted to buy a new step when mine has worked for me just fine for 15 years.) |

I just bought a high step platform from https://www.elivatefitness.com/
Elivate sells "the step, the original health club step" https://www.elivatefitness.com/steps-risers I like Elivate because they have great customer service, they are family owned. They used to be called FWOnline. I found out about them here, on VF, years ago.

To the original poster, I also believe Cathe uses The Step brand step, the grey one, I think. I bought my step through Walmart. They had the best price at the time and free shipping. It goes on sale from the usually $100 range. You should be able to get the grey one like Cathe in the $40 range. The Freestyle is more but I haven’t seen Cathe use that version yet.

You might want to check thrift stores and Craig's list as well. I saw a club step and a collections of workouts on Craig's list for $40 earlier this year. I've seen new ones at Power System online as well.
As an aside, the price on these has held steady since I bought one in the late 80s. I bought the Step Reebok which I still use. I thought about replacing it at one point, but other than the fact that most of the letters have peeled off, it's just fine. I don't know that they even sell this one anymore. It doesn't have ridges, it has octagonal indentations. It never bothered my hands to do push ups on it, and I didn't realize the ridges of the club step could be an issue. I now I realize why Cathe sometimes suggests putting a mat on top of the step. Good luck finding one you like! I've just recently gotten back into doing step workouts. I stopped for a number of years, I think because I just did it so much I got burned out. I also use a lower step height than I did previously to protect my knees. |

a new Club Step is still pricey. You would think the price would have gone down over the years since it's not much in demand. I got mine from my SIL in the 90's for free. It's still going strong (along with me.). One of my best pieces of equipment and well made.
