I agree with the other reviews here.

Pros:

1) The step increases the intensity of the workout.
2) The product is solid and the board is stable when you are on it.

Cons:

1) The holes on the step are too deep and don't register correctly without a little modification.

Not the fault of Everlast:

1) Wii games don't let you adjust for the fact that you are on a 3" step so the calorie burn numbers are even more of a guess than they were before the step.

works PERFECT - don't know what everyone is complaining about

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2010

i don't know why everyone says this doesn't read their movements, as it read mine perfectly. maybe i got a later model? either way, i got mine in christmas 2009 and it works perfectly. especially on step aerobics and other step related things. i even tried it on hula hoop just to see if it'd read my movements and it picked them up fine as it normally would.

it's extremely durable and handles my weight (which at the time was 182 but now i'm 173 thanks to wii fit!) if you weigh more or less, i can't vouch for the experience but it shouldn't be any different.

Pros and Cons

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2009

Verified Purchase

Just received this riser. Over all I think it is a good product. However it has a problem that the engineers should have spotted easily. The holes for the Wii Fit board are too deep. This causes the sensors to give incorrect information on weight and BMI to the game. It also fails to read stepping and excercising properly. I solved this problem by putting two poker chips in each of the holes for the Wii board feet. This gave just enough rise and still kept the board stable on the riser. Everything works great now. If the product had been made properly I would have given it 5 stars. Since it needed me to modify the flaw, it only rates 1 star. If I hadn't thought of the poker chips it would have rated a big fat "0". I hope the people at Everlast take note. I'm sure that many of these will be returned because of a truly stupid error. I would still recommend this product because it is the best of the two risers on the market for Wii.

Bad Purchase

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2010

I had high hopes for this to boost the step workout in my Wii Fit Plus game. However, it throws off my weight - you have to take the block off for the initial weigh-in or you'll be WAY underweight. In addition, it's not sturdy. I had my husband tighten the 4 little screws it comes with and it still sort of sinks in when I try to drag it across the floor. You have to pick it up by the center and carry it. These sound like knit-picky things, yes, but really, for $25 and the brand name, I was expecting a little more? Also, for some reason, it makes my board sort of stick - like it won't count a step or two (it says "MISS" when surely, I didn't miss) and it tells me to step off the board first and I'm not on the board. Don't know - it's really strange! Anyway, that's my piece.

Very slippery ! No adhesion on the floor !!!!

It gives me a much better workout and if you take the cups off the Wii Board, it fits perfectly on the top. Tracks the Steps very well. WARNING !!! I will have to add some rubber adhesif underneat the 4 corners because when I step on, it is very slippery and moves around very easily. I almost fell off it !

Love it!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2010

This step is great for workouts!! I did place pennies underneath the wii feet in the designated 'cups' as I read from other reviewers and now I'm scoring higher than ever. My calves ached the first few days which made me feel better about the work out. Now I need to find harder step programs to go with my step!!

However, do not weigh yourself on the step. It'll be dramatically wrong. Take the wii off of the step and place it on the floor for the important measuring events.

So much better!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 29, 2014

This turns my Wii Step into a decent one for the exercise. The plastic pieces slot into the bottom of the step- they are not fixed so can be easily removed. This gives a very stable elevation so that the step can be used for stepping exercises more effectively. It is not too high so is great for an older person , like me ( over 50) but it does make you work a little harder when using Wii Fit stepping.

This is solid, safe and worth every penny!

Passgenauigkeit und Verarbeitung lassen keine Wünsche offen. Beim Steppen steht die ansonsten leichte und handliche Konstruktion stabil und rutschfest auf dem Boden. Alles in allem eine sinnvolle Investition, die die Effektivität der Übungen merklich steigert. Ideal, jetzt endlich dem Wunschgewicht näher zu kommen...
