description Stairway GTL Overview

The Stairway GTL is a self-powered stair climbing exercise machine produced by Jacobs Ladder and distributed by Core Health & Fitness. Because it is self-powered, the speed of the rotating stairs is entirely controlled by the user's walking pace, utilizing a closed-loop speed control system rather than a motor. This design provides a high-intensity cardiovascular and lower-body workout that mimics actual stair climbing. It is primarily intended for use in commercial gyms and fitness facilities.

How does the Stairway GTL by Jacobs Ladder operate without a power cord?

The Stairway GTL is a self-powered machine, meaning it does not need to be plugged into a wall outlet to function. The speed of the rotating stairs is entirely controlled by the user's walking pace using a closed-loop speed control system.
