A step resistance training device having a user actuatable step is used to train the muscles of the lower extremities, pelvis, and gluteus maximus. The training device generally comprises a frame with a base upon which a pivot, one or more springs, and a step are mounted. Other elements, such as various guides, extensions, and hand holds may be mounted to the frame as well. In some embodiments, these elements allow the training device to be adjusted for ergonomic or training related reasons. The step is actuatable about the pivot and is attached to one or more springs to provide resistance. Resistance may also be provided by other resistance devices such as elastic bands or tubing. A user may train using the training device by engaging the step with his or her foot and applying a downward force thereto.
