NuStep Exercise Equipment: Inclusive Fitness for Bariatric Patients

If you’re on a bariatric journey—whether recovering from surgery or just beginning to explore new exercise options—you’ve probably noticed how tough it can be to find exercise equipment that really works for you. A lot of traditional machines just aren’t built with accessibility, comfort, or safety in mind. That’s exactly where NuStep steps in.

Designed to be inclusive and easy to use, NuStep exercise equipment makes it possible to move your body in a way that feels safe, supported, and empowering. Here’s how it can help you build confidence, gain strength, and take real steps forward in your health journey.

Why Choose NuStep for a Bariatric Exercise Program?

NuStep’s recumbent cross trainers and other equipment were built from the ground up with user comfort and accessibility in mind. Whether you want to start an exercise program pre-surgery or you’ve begun a post-surgery program, NuStep gives you a way to improve mobility, build strength, and boost heart health without feeling overwhelmed

Let’s break down why so many bariatric users find success with NuStep:

1. Inclusive and Accessible Design

NuStep equipment is made to support people of all body types and fitness levels—so you’re never left feeling like it wasn’t made for you.

• Low step-through access and swivel seats make getting on and off simple, even if you have limited mobility.
• Wide, cushioned seats that recline offer comfort and support, with easy adjustments that let you find just the right fit.
• Extended user weight capacity means you don’t have to stress about stability or safety. These machines are built to handle up to 600 lbs.

2. Full-Body, Low-Impact Workouts

Exercise shouldn’t hurt. NuStep recumbent cross trainers offer smooth, full-body movement that’s easy on the joints while still giving you a solid workout. The synchronized motion of arms and legs helps you work on cardio, strength, and endurance—all at once—without putting too much pressure on your body.

3. Customizable Workout Programs

Everyone must start somewhere. NuStep lets you begin at a pace that feels right and adjust over time as you get stronger.

• Dial the resistance up or down based on how you’re feeling.
• Follow programmable workout programs tailored to your goals.
• Watch your progress in real time with on-screen feedback (heart rate, calories burned, time, and more).

That kind of visibility can be a huge motivator—especially when you start to see just how far you’ve come.
