Let me say you been checked all my boxes for a fitness instructor. I love trainers who are human and okay with letting it show. From your slight confusion, to your frustration just know it only made you shine brighter 😊
Look at you coming up with new ways to challenge us! Sorry you were distracted! Divas are supposed to be respectful! The class was fantastic! Loved it! ❤️💪🏻
Yeah, I had no difficulties to follow this vertical step choreography, because your structure and explanations of the steps were great!!! Such fun! Thank you!
I know that you have been teaching step since you were a young teen. I started with step by watching Body Shaping VHS tapes in the mid 90s. I took classes here and there at various gyms and was always drawn to vertical step. I have loved all of your step classes and was so excited to do this one when I saw it posted on Wednesday. Chris, you never fail to amaze me. I can't believe how creative you are and I have started noticing the way you change our Lead foot and was doubly awed at how you did it for this choreography. You are an amazing step caller-I let everything in my mind go and just listen to your directions. Thank you for such a fun and challenging work out! There's no one better out there!!!
Oi Chris te acompanho aqui do Brasil🇧🇷. Amo Step, dou aula e adoro suas coreografias, é muito desafiador o Step na vertical. Obrigada pelos vídeos, parabéns pelo seu trabalho.👏❤
Great one! Definitely challenging in the brain department, but it’s really fun once you nail it! I rewound it to the full choreography a few times because it was so much fun. Thank you!🙏 😅😊
Loved it! I screwed up so many times, otherwise it was a great workout. 😂 I enjoy all your workouts, Chris. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
This step class felt very refreshing and different. Very good instructions and guidance throughout the class. I also enjoyed the pace of the movements. Thank you for the challenge and variety, my mind and body are very grateful! 💗💗💗
First I want to Thank you for doing this. It was my first live and challenging. I'm sorry you had chatty distractions I wish some would be considerate to those who are working out. Ill try another live again it was FUN 🤗
this was so much fun! felt good to get out of my comfort zone! ty for working so hard to always bring fresh interesting choreos for all ur step obsessed fans! ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊 I loved trying and rewinding and got the routine in the end.👐👐👐 40 minutes turned into 60 minutes. Audrey 67 years old from South Africa 🇿🇦
Oh my gosh Chris! This was so much fun! So different that it challenged my body and my mind. You ROCKED calling this. I’m so sorry that people can be so inconsiderate and stop chatting when you so nicely ask. It’s so rude and disrespectful to you. 😢. I hope you do more of these. I didn’t do the basic one…I jumped right in on this and admittedly did pretty good. Your calling kept me going so I didn’t have to watch the screen. Thanks thanks thanks Chris. You really do rock. 💕💕😎
This vertical step not only challenges your brain, but works the cardiovascular system so effectively! Every combination starts at the top of the step. I am a fan! ❤❤❤
This is my favorite of your vertical steps. LOVED IT and the 40 minutes flew by. Thanks for another outstanding choreo! ❤ You are appreciated! 🙏. Huge respect!
This was so challenging. Interesting how it starts to work different muscles (both in the body and the brain!) right from the beginning of the workout. Thank you Chris ❤
Great cardio and great brain twister! Loved this challenging workout. My heart was pumping more than a regular advanced step. Thank you Chris for your brilliant choreography!🤣❤
Really enjoyed the challenge. It's amazing how your body gets so used to doing things one way, then you ask it to do the opposite 🤪😄 Can't wait for the next installment to this Vertical step. Thanks Chris. 😍
I wasn't excited when I saw vertical, but I really enjoyed it and I learned my lesson. I am amazed at how you can cue everything so well and keep it all together for us. Thanks for another great one!
Great class, fun choreography and amazing calling by Chris. This was my first step class in a while, and it was challenging in the best way. Thank you Chris!
Great sweat sesh! Forced me to concentrate and not worry about stressors in my life. Great escape & not hard to follow. Had fun doing this. Thank you!! 💪❤️
Whew! Did this one a while ago but decided to do it again for an early morning workout before a full day. Got it done but it was so much for my brain this early. 🤪😂. Vertical step is such a fun way to add variety to step workouts. I was also…again….amazed at the rudeness of some of the “live” people. You always handle these things so well Chris. Politely and yet you get the point across. 💕💕💕🤗😎
I absolutely loved that choreography! You amaze me that you keep coming up with some thing new and challenging. So much fun as usual! You are an amazing teacher and we all appreciate you so so much.
Great routine. Saw the preview yesterday and thought no chance. You break down choreo so brilliantly it becomes simple to pick up. Loved this so much, thank you.
You were NOT kidding when you said this was gunna be hard! I'm impressed with US! It NEVER ceases to amaze me that I can be so lost when learning a new weird move then all the sudden I can do it at tempo! What a kick in the pants (or to the corner, lol)! I LoVE that you willing to try HARD things and I love that you screw up! It's REAL and RAW and goes to PROVE POBODY's NERFECT! LOVE YOU and thanks for all YOU DO!
Chris thank you so much for the vertical step workout today.i really enjoyed the challenge .and the hard work.and I really enjoy step and vertical step.i am going to have to keep practicing the moves .but I got most of them today.i worked really hard.and put a lot of effort into the workout and concentration .I really enjoyed the vertical step workout today.thank you so much Chris.see you again tomorow.from daniel.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
I love these vertical step workouts!!!! You do have to think but they are so much fun!!! You did an awesome calling that!!!! I would have gotten so confused!!!💜💜💜This workout!!!
I can't believe how challenging that was. I am pretty comfortable with advanced step but the choreography took lots of brain power. Will definitely be doing this one again. Thanks so much for all you do!
Loved this vertical step it’s definitely a challenge on both feet placement and the brain. I felt so good when I cracked the left side (always my worst). Thank you so much Chris you are awesome xx
Well done Chris!!! Awesome new format for a mind and coordination challenge. I loved it 🤗 If you (and Guy?) are up to choreographing it, I'll be up for doing more of these! Thanks for your hard work always 🙏
Dear Chris, this was such a great choreography, I loved it. The music was perfect, very rhythmical, no singing, helped a lot to concentrate on all the steps. The curl to the back killed me, such an easy move, but so difficult for me from this perspective. I am also having a small bench, I felled once with the fast over, but rest was ok. Thanks again, greetings from Germany, Stefanie
This was such a great challenge! I have never messed up so many times in a step workout and still felt so accomplished afterwards 🤩🥵 even when I missed a step I was able to pick back up quickly. I just turned my overthinking brain off and let my feet feel where they needed to go. You are truly the BEST trainer ever to keep your composure while encouraging us to keep moving 🩷
This workout was amazing! I slid off my bench once, I stumbled on a few of the moves, but I didn’t give up and when you put it all together at the end, I was breezing through it with no problem! I absolutely loved this. It was a great workout. Thank you so much for coming up with something different and exciting! You never disappoint!!
Well, I had zip zero energy to give this today, BUT - I persisted and got it done. It is good to change things up a bit - this really messed with my step groove! Thanks Chris for keeping it fresh! 🇨🇦💕
For the life of me, I can't understand how anyone could be commenting DURING the workout! Anyway, great body and brain challenging workout as always! Thank you for all your efforts.
This was super trippy. Stepping down instead of up was definitely a challenge and sometimes frustrating. Felt like a beginner again at times but just had fun and went with it!
Thought I would do a shorter step after coming back from an operation.....oh my word, what a work out. Really great to do something challenging for both mind and body. More vertical please if your little grey cells can cope!
Very very smart choreography!! 🤩 I love how you challenge our brains as well! I hardly ever sweat, but by the end of this class I was sweating like a horse, and it felt so so awesome!👌Sauna couldn't do this for me! 🤣 Thank you for all the continuous work you put into these classes! 💕💕
I am normally not able to do the noon class but I am ohhh so glad I didn’t miss this one! A terrific change in choreo and direction! Love loved it!! Thank you Chris for always challenging us!! ❤
This workout was awesome. Thank you so much for all your awesome workouts and all the time you put in. Looking forward to meeting everyone in Niagara Falls. I hope Guy has a speedy recovery.
I've been doing step since 1998 (26 years yikes!) and I love advanced choreo. I can't say how much fun it is to NOT GET IT AND MESS UP!! The mental challenge of step is always what has motivated me and kept me with the workouts, and how it makes the time literally fly by. Thank you for adding more vertical "Guy-style" step; it is so engaging and it's also motivating to see it challenging you too :)
Hey Chris! 130 bpm vertical step routines are kicking my butt more than faster ones! You're the best! 🇦🇷
That was so much fun! Thanks Chris and Guy! To the people chatting please stop you not only mess up Chis but you mess up us all! Thanks!
Let me say you been checked all my boxes for a fitness instructor. I love trainers who are human and okay with letting it show. From your slight confusion, to your frustration just know it only made you shine brighter 😊
Look at you coming up with new ways to challenge us! Sorry you were distracted! Divas are supposed to be respectful! The class was fantastic! Loved it! ❤️💪🏻
Thank you! 🤗
Thanks for another vertical step routine! So fun - and yes I had to think 😝 please keep the vertical step routines coming ‼️
You are really the Best!!!
I've so a lot fun with you, thank you very much for your incredible video!
See you soon, Greetings from Germany 🎉😊
Really enjoyed this. What a difference rotating your bench, and your brain, 90 degrees makes!
I LOVE THIS VERTICAL STEP. It might be just me but I really felt it in my inner thigh. Thank you!
Yeah, I had no difficulties to follow this vertical step choreography, because your structure and explanations of the steps were great!!! Such fun! Thank you!

Great routine Chris and Guy! Sending prayers to Guy for a speedy recovery for his knee's surgery
this was so much fun! felt good to get out of my comfort zone! ty for working so hard to always bring fresh interesting choreos for all ur step obsessed fans! ❤❤❤
Why quit when you can rewind!!! Loved it, thanks Chris for another great workout ❤❤😊😊
Tried a vertical step for the first time in probably 20 years, good fun and good way to get the brain started in the morning 😅
WOOOOOO Great job!!!!
I can't believe how different step is when you turn your bench! Thanks for working my body and my brain today. :)
Thank you 😊 I loved trying and rewinding and got the routine in the end.👐👐👐 40 minutes turned into 60 minutes. Audrey 67 years old from South Africa 🇿🇦

This vertical step not only challenges your brain, but works the cardiovascular system so effectively! Every combination starts at the top of the step. I am a fan! ❤❤❤
Catching up after my vacation last week. This was great. I went back and did the full choreography just to practice it.
Your choreography is OFF THE CHARTS! My brain had as much exercise as my body! Thank you so much!
OMG what a challenge, really hard, great fun, I'll do this several times. Time just disappeared. Thank you for this you queen of the steppe.💞
This is my favorite of your vertical steps. LOVED IT and the 40 minutes flew by. Thanks for another outstanding choreo! ❤ You are appreciated! 🙏. Huge respect!
Thank you so much!!
I loved this work out and felt amazing when I finally got all the moves. 🎉
This was so challenging. Interesting how it starts to work different muscles (both in the body and the brain!) right from the beginning of the workout. Thank you Chris ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your vertical step routines, very challenging for my brain! Thank you!
This was awesome. We miss Guy and can’t wait to have him come on again. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for challenging us with something new! From what I can tell, up is down and front is back? Not only is my body sweaty, but so is my brain!
What a fun challenge! Thanks, Chris, for always adding variety to your workouts. You're the best!
Great cardio and great brain twister! Loved this challenging workout. My heart was pumping more than a regular advanced step. Thank you Chris for your brilliant choreography!🤣❤
My body had fun,
my brain had fun and
me myself had so much fun as well.
Thank you so much for this class, dear Chris!!!
Vertical greetings.
❤️ vertical step! can’t wait for the next one. thanks Chris!
Really enjoyed the challenge. It's amazing how your body gets so used to doing things one way, then you ask it to do the opposite 🤪😄 Can't wait for the next installment to this Vertical step. Thanks Chris. 😍
Thanks! Loved it though I'm not advanced... wanna be intermediate probably. Saludos desde Argentina!
I couldn't wait to try this, so I did half! My brain hurts, too, but I'm challenged and looking forward to trying again soon!😊
I wasn't excited when I saw vertical, but I really enjoyed it and I learned my lesson. I am amazed at how you can cue everything so well and keep it all together for us. Thanks for another great one!

Great class, fun choreography and amazing calling by Chris. This was my first step class in a while, and it was challenging in the best way. Thank you Chris!
Thank you Chris. You make cardio fun and challenging in a different way for me. I love your stuff. It works my perimenopausal body and mind. 💞

A brain and body challenge; what fun!
I’m a decent stepper and this one was challenging but so much fun! More please!

What a fun challenge! It really is a brain workout too just to keep track of what you’re doing.
I used to teach vertical step back in the 90s. I don't remember it seeming so hard when I was 22. hahaha Thanks for a great workout! -Angela
