Frequently Asked Questions Back to GZ PC-Sport Product Page
1) Is using the GZ PC-Sport all the exercise I need to do?
You will find as your aerobic fitness increases you will find more enjoyment from traditional sport and exercise. We recommend you take full advantage of this during your leisure time and vary your exercise routine.
2) Is it not better for health to go outside running?
Not everyone has the time, or the conditioning, to exercise outdoors during the week. The power stepper provides a comfortable, safe, non-impact workday workout to supplement or kick start an active lifestyle.
3) What are the health benefits?
Burning up to 400 calories per hour increases your metabolism and raises your heart rate. This reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Circulation to the lower limbs is improved, reducing the risk of DVT.
4) Will I sweat at work using this?
If used at high levels in short bursts the effort required can break a sweat in the fittest people, the same as going for a brisk walk. If there are no shower facilities lower the level to a comfortable setting and exercise more gently.
5) How much noise does the exercise machine make?
Used with light pressure the machine is no louder than footsteps on carpet. Noise will be increased by hitting the pedal bump stops hard on each step. For a flowing non-impact workout, practice stepping without hitting the bump stops.
6) Will the GZ PC-Sport work with games on my PC?
Yes, and this is an excellent way of finding the fun in fitness. Simply choose the USB plug and play device that best suites your game and connect this to your computer through the PC-Sport.
7) Will the GZ PC-Sport be compatible with my computer?
There is no software to install; all that is required for proper operation is connection to a USB plug and play device such as a keyboard, mouse or game controller. Check the Plug and Play compliance by unplugging your device, then check for correct operation after reconnecting.
8) What is the weight limit for the power stepper?
There is no weight limit using the machine while seated. Used when standing the weight limit is 100kg, or about 220lbs, and boosts the fitness benefits by another 250 calories per hour.
9) Can I use my existing stepper?
Yes, so long as the pedometer or exercise computer on your current exercise machine has a 3.5mm jack plug it will fit the PC-Sport. Remove the existing exercise computer and plug your exercise machine directly into the PC-Sport.
10) Is there a cycle version?
A cycle version would require a chair without wheels, our power steppers can even be used on hard surfaces with existing wheeled swivel chairs. Cycles require a desk height which is not ergonomic, our steppers have variable height adjustment making them easier to use under a standard 30" high desk.
