Step wearing out???

[jdifischer]

Has anyone worn out their step?? I have the original Health Club Step (the lovely teal,pink and purple) and I swear that the top of it is not grabing like it used to??

Any thoughts or comments??

Thanks

Have you ever washed it? Try some Simple Green on it. I've had my step platform for about 10 years, and it still is fine (though I don't step as much as I used to, I do use it a lot as a weight bench).

It could be. I would imagine that they don't last forever b/c even the gyms replace them every so often. How old is it?

I have had mine 10 yrs and it still works fine. Mine was from a health club I use to teach aerobics at back in my younger days. It is teal w/black and the risers are pink/gray??? Maybe try cleaning it or you could just by a new top? You can get them pretty cheap at the used sporting good stores.

I have had my step almost 14 years. I rubbed my had across it and then compared it to my tall step top and there is a definate difference.

I averaged twice a week step workout until I found Cathe . . .

YOU KILLED IT FROM USING IT TOO MUCH! Just kidding! But hey, that's not such a bad thing anyway!

I'd say that you might consider getting a new top or a new step. Think about it - 14 years of stepping takes its toll after a while, right!?

I didn't mean to do it!!!!!!!!!!! Honest!!!!!!!!!!

I got my Step when they first came out, hmmm...about 15 years ago??? I'd love to know how many times I've stepped on it, but, in some areas of the tread is separated and see the teal part of the step. The traction is still fine. I do clean it periodically.
