Appendix A - Climber Level to Speed Conversion When you adjust the speed during a 800S Stepper workout, you're really adjusting the "level" you have the stepper set to.

At lower levels, each level raises your speed by five feet per minute; at higher levels each level represents a ten foot increase.
