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 (Cord Less), 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 console with a Light Emitting
Diode (LED) display. 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 gener-
ated during a workout to run the electronics. The 4600 PT and 4600 CL have
contact heart rate and Polar
®
feature Polar heart rate monitoring. The 4200 PT uses an external power supply
to run a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) console. This LCD console has less feedback
and fewer workout programs than the LED console on the 4600 PT/CL and the
4400 PT/CL.
