WHAT IS THE STAIRMASTER FREECLIMBER EXERCISE SYSTEM?
The StairMaster FreeClimber exercise systems are vertical climbing machines
with an independent step action. The independent step action, combined with
the patented pedal geometry featured on all StairMaster steppers, provides an
aerobic workout equivalent to uphill running or climbing stairs, but without the
high-impact pounding to the joints and muscles.
There are five FreeClimber models: the 4600 PT (Personal Trainer),
the 4600 CL (Cordless), the 4400 PT, the 4400 CL, and the 4200 PT. All
FreeClimbers feature the Quiet Drive transmission. The 4600 PT and the
4600 CL have an adjustable tilting, full-featured Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
console. The 4400 PT and the 4400 CL have an upright, rail-less design. The
4600 PT and the 4400 PT use an external power supply that is plugged into an
AC wall outlet. The 4600 CL and the 4400 CL use power generated during a
workout to run the electronics. The 4600 PT and 4600 CL have contact heart
rate and telemetry (Polar
®
) heart rate monitoring. The 4400 PT and the 4400 CL
feature telemetry heart rate monitoring. The 4200 PT uses an external power
supply and the console has less feedback and fewer workout programs than
the 4600 PT/CL and the 4400 PT/CL.
