Stair climbing machine

A stair climbing machine with 3 to 10 steps, the stair climbing machine comprising:

• a housing being configured to be placed on a horizontal surface;
• a first roller arranged in the housing, the first roller being rotatably about a center axis with respect to the housing;
• a resistance mechanism;
• a rotationally symmetric stationary element that is not rotatable with respect to the housing, wherein the stationary element is disposed on the center axis;
• a first plurality of rotation elements being rotatably supported in the first roller;
• and
• a first plurality of the steps, each of the first plurality of the steps being fixed to a respective one of the first plurality of rotation elements, wherein a mounting with which each of the first plurality of the steps is fixed to the respective one of the first plurality of rotation elements comprises a torque-proof mounting;
• wherein each rotation element of the first plurality of rotation elements is arranged on the first roller at the same distance from the center axis,
• wherein each of the first plurality of rotation elements is mechanically coupled to the stationary element via a first torque-transmitting connection, and
• wherein the steps are oriented parallel and configured to maintain a substantially parallel orientation to the surface on which the housing is configured to be placed.
