Make New York Post a Preferred Source New York Post Composite Want a booty on a budget? Shoppers say they’ve found a new way to work toward their glute and quad goals — and it’s a simple piece of gear that costs less than $100 on Amazon.
The item in question is the MERACH Stair Stepper — a space-saving, portable machine designed to mimic the movement of a full-sized stair climber. The viral device has dropped to $70 ahead of October Prime Day, which kicks off Oct. 6, although many deals are already live.
The stepper features a unique synchronized motion system that works your hands and feet together, engaging both the upper and lower body for a full-body cardio workout. According to the brand, it can deliver the calorie-burning benefits of three hours on an elliptical or two hours on a spin bike.
Many users seem to agree, with reviewers saying it will “kick your butt every time” and that you’ll “feel it in your lower body.” Others say they’ve seen results firsthand, including more toned legs and glutes.
Some shoppers even say they’re ditching their gym memberships in favor of this at-home machine.
“This is the best investment,” one reviewer raved. “I cancelled my gym membership. It’s toned my butt and stomach. I’m only doing 500 reps a day. Can’t imagine what 20 minutes daily would do.”
The stepper is designed to suit different goals and needs, with adjustable foot pedals and handlebars for different heights and workout intensities. Its robust frame supports up to 300 pounds and it also has a built-in LCD monitor, so you can track your workout time, steps and calories burned.
Beyond the workout benefits, many users point to how convenient it is to use at home. Some even point out that it folds small enough to stow away under the bed or in a closet.
“It’s lightweight but extremely solid,” one reviewer noted. “It has three levels of resistance that adjust in seconds. Solid steel frame keeps everything stable. Remove two knobs and it folds up so you can store it in a closet or under your bed.”
Despite the fact that it feels relatively easy to use, they still emphasize that the workout will get you.
“After the first minute, you’re rethinking your decision as you feel the burn,” a reviewer noted. “This is definitely worth the money.”
According to the brand, it arrives 95% pre-assembled for a quick and easy setup, and includes a one-year “manufacturer’s warranty” and customer service for added peace of mind.
