ProGear 9900 Stepper/Elliptical | Helps You Torch Calories Faster

by

The ProGear 9900 Stepper/Elliptical is an affordable machine that can help you burn more calories faster than many other models on the market. That’s because this design combines elements of both an elliptical and a stair-climber. The 8” vertical and 9” horizontal stride path provides a significant amount of fixed incline.

Beyond the aggressive incline, the ProGear 9900 also helps you torch calories with its eight different magnetic resistance levels and 29 lb flywheel. Compared to fan-wheel models, magnetic wheels provide a smooth and ultra-quiet ride.

The 3.5” LCD provides you with workout statistics to keep you on track. With the free MyCloudFitness app, you can set workout goals, track your workouts, and more. So train hard and get the results you want with the ProGear 9900 Stepper/Elliptical Trainer.

Its compact design is perfect for limited space while still providing a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout. In addition, the ProGear 9900 has pulse sensors, eight magnetic resistance levels, and a 29 lb cast iron exposed flywheel, allowing you to burn calories in a shorter time.
