StairMaster claimed ‘the sled is dead’ when they introduced a new line of self-powered, non-motorised space training tools. 7 years on, and the HIITMILL ™ and HIITMILL X ™ are still some of the best “bang for buck” pieces of cardio equipment for any commercial fitness arena. If you’re looking for something to add some spice to your hight intensity interval training offerings, take a closer look at the StairMaster HIITMILL.
What is the StairMaster HIITMILL?
These two ‘maintenance free’, magnetic resistance, self-powered treadmills are designed to build explosive power when used with a High Intensity Interval Training program.
Delivering a highly effective resistance training platform and capturing the benefits of speed and agility, lateral training and sled training, users can push, drive and sprint with the resistance of a sled, safely and with a smaller footprint, allowing users to drive up metabolic intensity and make for a more space efficient solution to alternative training methods.
Features include:
- Multi-grip hand positioning with water bottle and phone holder
- Magnetic resistance brake with resistance control lever
- Extra-WIDE 23″ belt width for lateral training and max stability under load
- The HIITMILL X comes with farmers carry lift arms and 3mm cushioned turf belt for added durability and grip.
Driven entirely by your movement, the StairMaster HITMILL gives you more control over your speed and intensity, making it perfect for serious athletes, fitness professionals, or anyone who wants a more challenging workout. It’s engineered to withstand heavy loads, so you can push, pull, and sprint, adding variety to your training. Whether you’re looking to build power, endurance, or just get an intense calorie burn, the HIITMILL adapts to your goals.
What sets the HIITMILL apart is its rugged design. It comes with a reinforced frame and multi-grip handles, making it versatile for loaded pushes or pulls. With built-in sled rails and optional resistance, it’s like having a sled track and a treadmill all in one. This makes it ideal for functional training or sports conditioning. It’s perfect for gyms, sports facilities, or home setups for those committed to serious fitness gains.
