5 out of 5 stars Made step aerobics for wii fit better   July 6, 2010
K. C. Zimmerman (Missouri)
I love this step. It was easy to assemble, and use. I did not have any issue with it registering correct weight or steps when using it with the balance board, but then we use ours on a very thin rug over concrete floor, hence a hard surface. I found when I added this step for the Wii Fit step aerobics, it instantly helped me improve my score. Apparently I use to step on and off just a tad too fast, this helped put me at just the right pace, got my heart pumping more and made the workout more of a challenge.


4 out of 5 stars like it   July 6, 2010

it is stable and the same on hard surface and on carpet. This addition really gives the extra kick to the step aerobics of Wii. Without the addition of the aerobics step platform the aerobics part of Wii is rather lame but improves quite a bit in workout with the addition of this platform.


4 out of 5 stars Improves my wii fit workout   June 25, 2010
R. Pincus (Fort Mill, SC United States)
This step platform has definitely made the step-workouts on the wii fit more challenging. I would bet that it easily doubles the intensity of the workout over the plain balance board. I did have to use the poker chip trick to improve the responsiveness of the steps and the accuracy of the weight measurements. I also received good service from the manufacturer...my platform only came with 3 of the 4 screws. I e-mailed the company and within a week received 2 new packages of screws, no questions asked.

I don't understand why people are complaining that the wii fit doesn't calculate the new amount of calories burned...of course it wouldn't do that....all of those calculations are just estimates, and there's no way the wii fit software would be ready to calculate that you're using a platform over the balance board.



4 out of 5 stars Good workout, poor design   June 17, 2010
J. Turner (USA)
Just purchase new balance board and new aerobic step platform, apparently the problem discussed by many people is still there. The balance board will not give any where near your correct weight when on the aerobic step, and all your steps will not be counted. Good workout, but you will still have to retrofit the step with shims apparently so the board doesn't bottom out and give false readings.


5 out of 5 stars worth it to take step to the next leve   June 12, 2010
H. Anderson (Jefferson, NJ)
read all the reviews last week and finally made the purchase. It arrived today and all it took to put together was a screwdrive and less then five minutes time. I decided to try it out today and not wait and let me tell you, it was worth it. When doing WII fit free step, I usually do it for 20 minutes and never break a sweat. After five minutes with the Step Platform I could feel it in my calfs and after the full 20 minutes had broken a sweat and really feel like I got someout out of it. I recommend if you are looking for more intensity and want to take it to the next level. I haven't tried it yet with the other step games on WII Fit but I know it will make them more challenging to try and get that perfect score.
