Do More With is a series highlighting equipment around the Club that can help you reach your fitness goals. In this installment, we highlight the step-up box, available on the Club floor and in group fitness classes.
Some pieces of gym equipment are so simple and have so much potential, they end up being overlooked for more complicated tools that have one or two clear use cases — not a couple dozen possibilities.
Exhibit A: the basic step-up box. By my estimates as a COACH X, the step-up box is used by Equinox Plano members training on their own maybe 10 to 20 percent of the time. But in overlooking this versatile tool, you’re missing out on potential improvements in everyday functioning, muscle health, and more.
