Title basically says it all. My apartment gym doesn't have one and I LOVE them. I am a poor college student and don't have hundreds or thousands of dollars to spend on one. I check my local Craigslist periodically without much luck - but other than there where can I find an affordable stair stepper? A small, simple one would do.

Thank you!!

    Check local newspaper for a used one.

    Do you have a Play it Again Sports or Second Wind Exercise in your area? I'd check out those if you do!

    I've seen one at Walmart for only $38!

    Have you ever thought of trying kettlebells? If you have never heard of them, do a Google search. I highly recommend them as they are a killer workout!!!

    Lol I've thought about doing that but it is actually quite noisy when people use the stairs so I figured my neighbors would get fed up with that quickly.

    Thanks for the responses keep 'em coming! I found some "mini steppers" on Amazon...seems like a possibility. I know I've seen a Second Wind equipment store in my parent's hometown so I may have to check it out next time I visit.

    we have a little one (just sits on the floor, about 6 inches tall?), no idea where it came from but it sure doesn't look inexpensive, easy to store in an apartment too

    We got the Bowflex treadclimber and I am very disappointed in it. It burns calories, but I find it a bit small.

    Hmm good suggestions! Thanks. I'm glad to know what NOT to get too! I'm looking into kettle bells & they do seem like a killer full-body workout but to be honest I'm just looking for something to do while I watch TV instead of vegging out on my couch.
