Dan_Larson Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Do any of you guys or gals work out at the Bellevue YMCA. They have one of those escalator style climbing systems that seem to smoke me pretty well. If anyone does workout there and ever needs a training partner ,let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotlight Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 I started using a stairmill at the gym over the past week, and it seems to be doing it's job tiring me out. There are 4 of them at Bally's in Bellevue; they don't seem to get used very much (certainly not as much as most of the other machines), which works out well for me.

Dan_Larson Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share Posted February 18, 2003 There is only one at the Y and that is plenty I have never seen anyone on it. Seems to be a good substitute for the hills however , if you can;t get out often like me . Hopefully it will keep me fighting ready so my next suffer fest is not as bad as they always seem to be by the second day on the Rainier slogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtenay Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Those are "step mills" and are actually (IMHO) better / more of a match to mountain climbing than most traditional stairmasters; they also seem to be easier on people's knees... But as they say, there's nothing quite like climbing to train for climbing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
