NuStep® UE8MAX Upper Body Ergometer

The NuStep® UE8MAX Upper Body Ergometer delivers accessible, low-impact upper-body cardiovascular and strengthening exercise with a 22-inch-wide seat and 600 lb. user weight capacity designed to accommodate a diverse range of users. Featuring an innovative swivel drive train, the UE8MAX provides exercise access from three positions—seated, standing, or directly from a wheelchair without removing the seat.

Designed for physical therapy, rehabilitation, adaptive fitness, senior living, medical fitness, wellness, and commercial fitness environments, the UE8MAX combines exceptional accessibility with advanced exercise programming, real-time biofeedback, and extensive adjustability.

Seated, Standing & Direct Wheelchair Access

The NuStep® UE8MAX is designed to provide flexible access to upper-body exercise from three positions:

• Seated – Exercise from the ergonomically designed integrated seat

• Standing – Adjust the swivel drive train for upper-body exercise from a standing position

• Wheelchair – Access the drive train directly from a wheelchair without removing the UE8MAX seat

The adjustable swivel drive train can be repositioned in height and angle to accommodate different users and exercise positions. This innovative design allows facilities to serve a broad range of patients and users without requiring time-consuming seat removal or major equipment reconfiguration.

A low step-through design further improves accessibility for users exercising from the integrated seat.

22-Inch Wide Seat & 600 lb. Weight Capacity

A defining feature of the NuStep® UE8MAX is its 22-inch-wide seat, providing additional room and support for users who may benefit from a larger seating surface.

Combined with a 600 lb. user weight capacity, the UE8MAX provides rehabilitation and wellness facilities with an inclusive upper-body exercise solution capable of accommodating a diverse patient and user population.

The ergonomically designed padded seat features contoured back support to provide a stable and supportive exercise position. The seat also swivels and reclines, allowing users to customize their positioning for comfort, accessibility, and individual exercise needs.

Real-Time Power & Symmetry Biofeedback

Integrated sensor technology captures upper-body power and symmetry data in real time, providing valuable visual feedback throughout the exercise session.

The Balanced Power program measures upper-body performance and helps identify differences between the user's left and right sides. This real-time visual biofeedback can be particularly valuable during physical rehabilitation, therapeutic exercise, and adaptive fitness programs where clinicians and users may want greater insight into movement symmetry and performance.

By providing immediate feedback, the UE8MAX encourages users to take a more active and informed role in their exercise experience.

Advanced Dual-Touchscreen Console

The UE8MAX features an advanced dual-touchscreen console with an HD display and intuitive user interface. Exercise programs, performance metrics, and real-time feedback are presented in an engaging, easy-to-use format.

Programs and features include:

• Quick Start – Get on and begin exercising without setting specific goals

• Pace Partner – Helps users maintain a consistent exercise pace

• NuStep® Charts – Displays exercise statistics based on performance

• Trail Runner – Provides an immersive exercise experience featuring locations around the world

• Balanced Power – Measures upper-body power and helps identify left-to-right imbalances

The adjustable console angle helps accommodate different exercise positions and viewing preferences.

15 Levels of Bidirectional Resistance

The NuStep® UE8MAX provides bidirectional arm movement and 15 adjustable resistance levels, allowing users to exercise in both forward and reverse directions while tailoring workout intensity to their individual abilities and goals.

Low-inertia startup requires minimal effort to initiate movement, helping accommodate users with varying levels of upper-body strength and functional ability.

Progressively higher resistance levels provide opportunities to increase exercise intensity as strength, endurance, and cardiovascular conditioning improve, making the UE8MAX suitable for rehabilitation as well as ongoing fitness and wellness programs.

Accessible Upper-Body Exercise

The UE8MAX provides an effective low-impact upper-body cardiovascular and strengthening workout while offering extensive flexibility in how users access the machine.

Its combination of seated, standing, and direct wheelchair exercise positions makes the UE8MAX particularly valuable for facilities serving users with varying mobility and functional abilities.

Whether used for physical rehabilitation, cardiovascular conditioning, upper-body strengthening, endurance training, adaptive fitness, or general wellness, the UE8MAX provides a versatile platform that can accommodate a broad range of exercise needs.
