purchased this to use as step for grandma to get into bed. the feet do not snap into the base, therefore the feet easily can move out from under. I would think this could be slightly dangerous in step aerobic environment.[...]
This is a decent product, however, as the other reviewer said it is not the same size as the ones you will find in a health club - the ones in health clubs are much longer, and also they have a rubberized no-slip top. This one has ridges in the top to keep from slipping, but it is just the green plastic.
This item is about half the size of a normal step system. They don't tell you that. I ordered the unit to be used as an exercise bench, but it's shorter than my back, so I can't use it. As a step exerciser, it seems to me it would be worthless, as you would have great difficulty goihng from the one at home to the one at the healh club.
