VERSACLIMBER
VersaClimber - trusted name in fitness for 40+ years.
WHAT IS VERSACLIMBER?
The VersaClimber is a vertical climbing machine that provides a zero impact, high intensity, cardio and resistance training workout. It features two handles and two foot pedals with straps to secure your feet. While the VersaClimber is considered a cardio machine, it’s also great for low-impact resistance training, which you can set to your liking on the machine.
The machine uses a contra-lateral movement pattern — when your right arm goes up, your left leg moves down and vice versa. This movement replicates a natural primitive pattern similar to crawling, which we all had to do to build the strength to eventually walk and run. This movement engages your entire body, which makes for a powerful workout.
WHO IS IT GOOD FOR?
Everyone from fitness beginners to professional athletes can find a great workout on a climber. This workout is extremely versatile thanks to the ability to increase or decrease resistance on the machine — which helps keep things challenging as you become stronger and more familiar with the workout.
THE BENEFITS OF VERSACLIMBER
If you’re looking for a low-impact workout, the VersaClimber is easy on the joints while still delivering an effective calorie burn in a short amount of time.
Studies show that the VersaClimber burns more calories after class than running on a treadmill or using a rowing machine.
The VersaClimber also engages more muscle groups than any of its gym equipment competitors. The climber activates the glutes, transverse abdominals, obliques, lats, delts, triceps, biceps, quads, calves and many more.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Though it may take some getting used to, the VersaClimber is a worthwhile piece of equipment to consider trying. If you really want to maximize your workout time — and are looking for a low impact, but high intensity workout — there’s no better option than going for a climb.
