Comparison Domyos MS500 vs Gymtek XST500

The maximum weight of the user for which the machine is designed, in other words, the maximum weight of the athlete, at which the stepper is guaranteed to work the amount of time stated in the characteristics without the risk of breakage. This parameter must be adhered to as accurately as possible, do not be mistaken about the fact that 3-5 kg over the calculated weight will not affect the design. Yes, most likely, the stepper will be able to work for some time. But it will experience loads exceeding the calculated ones, and at best it will fail earlier than expected, and at worst it may break at the most unfortunate moment, which is fraught with injuries. In addition, this case is usually not covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and you will have to eliminate the consequences at your own expense.

The ability to change the step height — i.e. pedal travel between extreme points. Adjusting the step height allows you to adjust the stepper to the height of a particular user, and also allows you to increase/decrease the load on the muscles, depending on the training goals. For people with different heights, the optimal step values will be different; specific figures can be found in specialized sources. Here we note that if the machine is bought for several users, it is very desirable to choose a model with the ability to adjust the step height.

The country from which the product brand originates. The brand in this case can be described as a general designation by which the goods of a particular manufacturer are known in the market. The country of its origin does not always coincide with the actual place of production of the product: to reduce the cost of production, many modern companies transfer it to other countries. It is quite normal for products, for example, of an American or German brand, to be made in Taiwan or Turkey. Contrary to popular belief, this in itself does not lead to a decrease in the quality of the goods — it all depends on how carefully the brand owner controls the production. And many companies, especially large and famous, monitor the quality very zealously — after all, their reputation depends on it.

Dimensions of the equipment are assembled and ready for operation. It is important to note that in reality, more space is needed for comfortable and proper operation of the simulator.
