I recieved a Treadclimber for Christmas this year and I really like it a lot! I have only had it for a week, and I must say that I find it will really work you. What I like about it is that it has 3 different workouts in one machine. You can use it as a treadmill with the platform in one position, then you can use it going up hill with the platform split in a stairmaster/treadmill move, or you can use it as a stairmaster. I am still getting the hang of it and there is a learning curve I think, but so far it is great !
