STEP is a new program that targets the specific needs of older adults. And Keiser technology makes it easy to measure and track results.
Measurable Results
Leg power: +17.9%
Gait (or walking) speed: +12.3%
Sit-to-stand speed: +15.6%
39 residents participated in a 12-week pilot program. The program yielded impressive results — and life-changing benefits for many residents.

STEP addresses the age-related risks that impact healthspan.
STEP targets many of the factors that lead to living better longer.
Residents can extend their quality of life —
meaningfully!
Fall prevention: STEP improves balance and stability. But it also develops the speed and strength needed to avoid falling when you misstep.
Bone density: STEP provides strength training that may improve bone density.
Cardiovascular risk: STEP provides both strength and velocity training that may improve cardiovascular risk.
Help your residents add life to their years.

STEP improves all three components of functional performance.
STEP trains both speed and strength to develop truly functional power. This can help residents stay healthy and independent longer.
Strength is your ability to produce a force — no matter how fast or slow.
Speed is your ability to move fast or slow, independent of resistance.
Power is force times velocity. It’s your ability to wield force at speed. It’s what gets things done.
Power is critical for older adults.
Power is what you use at important moments in daily life.
Standing up from a chair
When you get up from a chair, it requires strength. But, like every aspect of daily activity, ease and efficiency of movement requires power.
Preventing a fall
If you lose your balance, you need to move your limbs quickly and with force — strength and speed — to avoid a fall.
Hitting a golf ball
The ball and club are always the same weight. The speed at which you swing the club determines how far the ball goes.
Research indicates ...
Older adults lose power even before they lose strength or muscle mass.
And their loss of power is even more profound than their loss of strength and muscle over time.

Game-changing equipment
and technology
The design of Keiser equipment is different. Keiser's low-inertia resistance is more effective than iron when training for power.
And Keiser’s digital technology makes it easy to get the data you need to show results.
MADE IN THE USA
(domestic and globally sourced material)
Proven durability. lowest cost of ownership over time.
The right equipment makes a difference.
“The equipment is easier to use, and it’s easier on the body.”

Try our equipment. We’ll Bring it to you.
Low-inertia design. Ideal for older adults.
More effective at improving power: Keiser’s low-inertia design makes it more effective than iron when training for power.
Safer for joints and connective tissue: Keiser eliminates the shock loading that can damage joints and connective tissue over time.
Pain-free range of motion: Keiser's low-inertia design eliminates the jerking, uneven resistance you get from iron. This dramatically reduces pain and discomfort during exercise.
Resistance in smaller increments: Adjust resistance in one-pound increments. It's more precise than the five- and ten-pound increments of weight stack machines. That makes it easier for older adults to find the right resistance. And they can increase resistance sooner as they make progress.
Easy to use: A large digital display, thumb-button resistance controls, and fully adjustable seating make Keiser equipment very easy to use.
