A step platform is one of the few pieces of home equipment that earns its space through versatility rather than specialisation. Set at 5 inches it suits step aerobics and beginners at 7 and 9 inches it turns into a plyometric box for step-ups, elevated push-ups, mountain climbers and split squats. The risers change in seconds and store underneath, so the platform stays flat against a wall between sessions.Construction is Pp and Abs over a grid-structured base, a combination that spreads load rather than concentrating it. That is what allows a 6 pound platform to carry up to 330 pounds without flexing at the centre. The top surface is textured for grip, which matters most during fast repetitions when a foot lands at an angle, and anti-slip pads underneath keep the platform from travelling and protect the floor from scratches.At 28 to 30 inches long it suits a living room as readily as a garage gym, and at 6 pounds it moves with one hand. It is intended for adult use, younger users should be supervised, and the risers should be checked as locked before each session.
