Founded in 1987, Sitamina Products was one of the first fitness equipment manufacturers in the United States to develop commercial information products, which were mainly sold in China and Canada. Its Aero Pilates product line is popular in indoor Pilates, and the In-Motion Elliptical Trainer tops the list of elliptical trainers on the Amazon in the United States.
 
There are more than a dozen models of Stamina steppers, including the usual hydraulic steppers with tension ropes or handrails, as well as the popular elliptical-like steppers and program-controlled commercial steppers. The price of each model of stepper is generally between $50 and $250, and although it is slightly more expensive than the Chinese brand of the same type, it excels in terms of smoothness and quietness. However, Stamina's products are rarely sold on domestic e-commerce platforms, and they need to be purchased through overseas shopping or official website ordering.
 
Among Stamina's many models, the Avari Programmable Stepper, which is close to the commercial type, is the most expensive and versatile. The stepper is equipped with an InTouch monitor with 20 different programs that display information such as steps, exercise time, calories burned, pulse, body fat percentage, room temperature, clock and alarms, and the armrest scans the heart rate of the body during exercise. The Avari Programmable Stepper provides smooth movement through electric tension, and the amount of resistance can be controlled by the program, the fat burning effect is more obvious, and the exercise experience is more user-friendly, and the price is $1399.
 
The Stamina InMotion Compact Strider is a magnetron stepper that costs $199. Different from the traditional hydraulic stepper's direct and oblique movements, the movement trajectory of this stepper is almost oval, and the damage to the joints is relatively reduced, making the stepping process smoother and smoother. The resistance can also be adjusted in 8 levels by knob, and because the resistance device is provided by a magnetron flywheel, there is no noise generated by the mechanical movement of the hydraulic lever, which ensures that the user is in a relatively quiet environment and does not disturb others.
 
The Stamina InMotion Compact Strider is also available in an equally priced Pro version, with the pedals that support reverse movement, effectively engaging more muscles in the legs. There are also armrests to help adjust the balance of the body. Although the volume and weight of this version have increased accordingly, when it comes to the variety of its features, the value for money of the Pro version is still very impressive.
 
The Stamina Wirk Orbit Strider is a small-footprint, lightweight, and foldable model that costs $149. The design, which is rare on the market, uses 360° hinge technology, and the pedals are connected to the pole to move in a circular motion around a ball-like fulcrum. The user needs to sit in a chair, put the pedals on their legs, and then swing them around along the pole, which is suitable for sedentary office workers, so that they can focus on the task at hand while doing leg exercises to relax their muscles. However, it cannot stand like a general stepper, and its motor function is very limited, so it can only be used as an aid to relax the leg muscles.
 
In the Stamina vertical stepper with handrails, the Avari Free Stride Stepper and SpaceMate Folding Stepper both have dual hydraulic levers mounted on both sides of the pole to simulate the pedaling habits of a mountaineer. The Space Saving Stepper follows the conventional design of placing the hydraulic lever at the bottom of the pedal, and adds a tension rope, so that the user can maintain the stepping posture and exercise the leg and buttock muscles at the same time, and use additional equipment to exercise the upper limb muscles such as the biceps brachii to improve the shrug situation.
