Why NuStep Is a Smart Choice for Medical Fitness Centers
With a mission to bridge the gap between rehab and fitness, medical fitness centers help members recover from surgery, manage a chronic condition, or rebuild strength after an injury. Choosing the right exercise equipment makes all the difference in helping members achieve their goals. That’s where NuStep comes in.
Our recumbent cross trainers are trusted by hospitals, rehab centers, and wellness programs for a reason—they’re thoughtfully designed to meet people where they are in their rehab or fitness journey and take them where they want to go. And our newest products – an upper body ergometer and recumbent bike – round out our equipment offerings for rehab and fitness programs.
Designed for Everyone
NuStep machines are built with accessibility and ease of use at their core, making safe, effective exercise possible for people with a wide range of abilities. How do we make it possible? We incorporate inclusive design features into all our products:
- Low step-through and swivel seats: help users get on and off the machine easily, especially useful for those with limited mobility.
- Extended user weight capacity and wide seat option: offer a stable, supportive exercise experience for larger users.
- Adaptive equipment and accessories: allow users who need additional support to achieve a full-body workout.
These features don’t just remove barriers—they invite people in.
Safety + Results = Confidence to Keep Going
We know your team needs equipment that’s not just safe but also helps people make real progress. NuStep recumbent cross trainers deliver on both fronts:
- Low-Impact Movement: Smooth, natural stepping motion reduces stress on the joints and minimizes risk of injury, perfect for rehab or chronic condition management.
- Full-Body Cardio Workout: contralateral movement works upper and lower body simultaneously to help build strength, improve mobility and support heart health.
- Low starting force and multiple resistance levels: support new or deconditioned users as they start their program and allows them to adjust resistance as they progress.
NuStep empowers members to move at their own pace and build confidence, one session at a time.
Motivation Built In
Keeping members motivated and engaged in their medical fitness program is another way to ensure their success. So too, is their experience with exercise equipment. That’s why we focus on creating a positive user experience with user friendly features like:
- High definition display: two distinct screens with separate functions and vivid, high contrast colors enhance readability.
- Engaging workout programs: a variety of apps including programmable routines offer different workout experiences.
- Simplified performance metrics: practical information for users and clinicians to monitor progress in real time.
Trusted by Rehab and Wellness Teams
Whether you’re helping someone with Parkinson’s maintain mobility or supporting post-op recovery, NuStep recumbent cross trainers offer the structure, support, and safety you need in a rehab tool. Healthcare professionals trust them because they support positive outcomes —and because their patients feel safe using the NuStep.
They also trust NuStep products because they are built to last. Designed for high-traffic use in a variety of settings, NuStep machines are as durable as they are dependable.
