Features and benefits
The climber that started it all
01
Stepper and climber in one
Your legs drive a stepper while your arms pull a climber. Together they deliver a full-body session in a small footprint.
02
Simple and tough
With no resistance system and no WiFi, there is less to service. It is built for commercial floors and long service life.
03
Big calorie burn in short sessions
VersaClimber reports a calorie burn up to 160% faster than running, steppers, spin bikes and ellipticals. Twenty minutes is plenty.
04
Low impact on joints
A smooth vertical climb trains hard with no pounding. Knees, hips and back stay happy.

Questions about the SMA Sport Model
How do I make it harder?
Climb faster, take longer strokes and add intervals. For dial-in resistance, look at the SM-Magnetic.
Which mounting option should I pick?
Regular Base stands on its own and moves when you need it to. Floor Mount bolts the same base to the floor for a fixed install. Wall Mount drops the base and anchors the climber to a wall, which saves floor space and lowers the price.
How does it ship?
It ships by freight in a wood crate that measures about 100 x 12 x 18 inches and weighs about 200 lbs. Shipping is free to the lower 48.
What warranty comes with it?
VersaClimber covers the frame, hand rails, base plate, handles, foot pedals, rollers and slides, hand grips and pedal straps for 5 years. The magnetic resistance system has 3 years and the electronics have 1 year. Coverage applies to commercial and home use.
Where is it made?
VersaClimber builds its climbers in Santa Ana, California. The company has made the original cardio climber in the USA since 1981.
