The Precor SCL 800 Series brings commercial-grade stair climbing performance into premium home gyms and residential fitness spaces. Built for durability, smooth motion, and long-term reliability, these StairClimbers provide a challenging lower-body and cardiovascular workout in a compact, vertical training format.
Each model in the SCL 800 Series is built on the same commercial StairClimber platform. The core climbing experience remains consistent across the line, while the main difference between models is the console experience — from a simple LED display to fully connected touchscreen entertainment.
Why the SCL 800 Series
The SCL 800 Series is designed for users who want an efficient, high-intensity cardio option that emphasizes lower-body strength, endurance, and cardiovascular conditioning. Stair climbing provides a different training stimulus than treadmills, ellipticals, or bikes, making it a strong addition to a well-rounded home fitness space.
Precor’s design focuses on smooth step motion, stable footing, and long-term reliability. With a large step surface, easy access steps, and consistent step control, the SCL 800 Series supports confident climbing workouts for a wide range of users.
Dynamic Step Control™
At the core of the SCL 800 Series is Precor’s Dynamic Step Control™ system, which maintains an accurate, consistent step rate whether the workout is slow and controlled or fast-paced.
This smooth, predictable motion helps users stay comfortable and confident through a range of training intensities. It also creates a more refined climbing experience compared with machines that feel uneven or inconsistent underfoot.
Large Step Surface and Easy Access
The SCL 800 Series features a large step surface designed to provide stable footing throughout the workout. This gives users more confidence during longer sessions, higher-intensity intervals, and transitions in speed.
Thoughtful access steps and step-off platforms make it easier to enter, exit, rest, and recover during workouts. These details are especially important in a home gym setting, where equipment should feel approachable and comfortable to use day after day.
Choosing the Right Console
The SCL 800 Series is offered with three console options, each built around the same StairClimber platform but tailored to different user preferences.
SCL 895 — P94 Console
The P94 is the most immersive option in the lineup, featuring a 22-inch high-definition touchscreen. It is ideal for homeowners who want the largest display, premium entertainment integration, wireless casting, guided workouts, and the most connected user experience available in the series.
SCL 885 — P84 Console
The P84 features a 16-inch high-definition touchscreen and delivers a strong balance of performance, entertainment, and ease of use. It is a great fit for users who want a connected, premium cardio experience without stepping up to the largest console size.
SCL 835 — P31 Console
The P31 is a clean LED console with straightforward controls and essential workout feedback. It is ideal for users who value simplicity, durability, and a focused training environment without touchscreen-based entertainment.
Model Comparison
All SCL 800 Series StairClimbers share the same commercial climbing platform, including the step system, frame design, and core performance features. The primary difference between models is the console experience and how you interact with the machine during your workout.
| Model | Console | Best For | Key Differentiator |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCL 895 | P94, 22″ Touchscreen | Immersive training and entertainment | Largest display with full streaming and casting experience |

| SCL 835 | P31 LED Console | Simple, focused training | Straightforward interface with essential workout feedback |
Available Models
The SCL 800 Series is available in three configurations, each built on the same commercial StairClimber platform. Whether you prioritize a fully immersive console experience or prefer a simpler, more focused interface, each model delivers the same smooth climbing motion, stable step design, and long-term reliability.

Built for Long-Term Ownership
Precor designed the SCL 800 Series for demanding fitness environments where reliability, uptime, and ease of care matter. The step system is built for long service life, while removable service panels provide access for inspection and upkeep.
For residential installations, the SCL 800 Series operates on a standard 120V/15A power connection and requires adequate ceiling height for safe and comfortable use. If you are planning a premium home gym and want help selecting the right model for your space, training style, and budget, we’re happy to help.
Choosing the Right Configuration
Because all SCL 800 Series StairClimbers share the same mechanical platform, choosing the right model comes down to how you want to interact with the machine during your workouts.
If you value a highly engaging experience with streaming content, guided workouts, and a large responsive display, the SCL 895 offers the most immersive environment. The SCL 885 provides a similar connected experience with a slightly smaller screen and a more streamlined feel.
For those who prefer simplicity, the SCL 835 delivers the same performance platform with a straightforward LED console. Its intuitive controls and essential workout feedback make it easy to get started quickly without navigating touchscreen menus or entertainment apps.
Each configuration is built for long-term reliability and consistent performance. The right choice depends on your training style, how the StairClimber will be used day to day, and the level of interaction you want from the console.
