How do I get a step with 4 risers per side (8 total)?

[sockselgato]

I am a fan of Cathe Friederich's workouts, and in many of them, she uses a health-club sized step with four risers on each side. I have been searching for some time online for a step like this that I could purchase; while I've found the step easily and two or three risers, none of them offer the purchase of four per side at once.

I also cannot find any site that sells them individually except a few, and those charge more than the step itself just to get risers.

Any suggestions? I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out how to solve this problem. I have a step, but it's much smaller and has only one riser per side, and I feel that it's time to increase the difficulty of my workouts by raising my step height, and I'd like the full-size step since I have big feet that barely fit on the small one I currently use (and for which I can't find any more risers because it's a brand that has gone out of business).

There are some plyometric boxes available online, but they lack the length of a fitness step. Would one of those be a suitable replacement?

Hi sockselgato, I had the same problem not too long ago.

What I ended up doing was buying a high step on Amazon. If you have (or end up getting) the original health-club sized step, any risers from the high step can also be used on the original. This ends up giving you 4 additional risers for the full-sized step. Plus, Cathe uses the high step in several of her videos, so it is useful on its own as well. It is still kinda pricey, but I found it to be a better value than buying the risers separately.

Hope that helps!

Thank you, Lissy! I appreciate it very much.

Hi Sockselgato,
I just purchased a new Step and extra risers from Fitness1st.com. The individual risers are $13.50 per riser and they have a code for 15% off the entire site. They do charge shipping, though.
You could also go The Original Health Club Step’s site but they are a little higher priced.
Getting The High Step is a great idea also, and I did that years ago but I already had the original club step.
Sorry, I rarely post and don’t know how to attach links!

Thank you Juliebeth!

So it seems the the site Fitness1st.com is very good, but the shipping costs to where I live in Mexico are astronomical. Maybe sometime I could get something from the site on a visit to the US and bring it back with me. Not the step, but something else...

Try Ebay. I bought extra risers from there years ago

It looks like you can buy extra risers on amazon. From the Step company, if that is the kind of step you have.
