This vertical climber??
A WORKOUT.
A WARRIOR.
A BRUTAL BUT LOVING FITNESS COACH.
The first time I stepped on it, my legs said,
“Ma’am are you sure?”
But after a few sessions I was climbing like I owed someone money.
First Impressions
Assembly was EASY.
Shockingly easy.
Like “why can’t furniture be like this?” easy.
The metal rails feel sturdy, the frame isn’t flimsy, and once it’s up, it looks like a machine that means business.
AND it folds up!
Which means I can pretend I’m not collecting gym equipment in my living room.
Using It
This thing works EVERY muscle at once:
• Legs
• Glutes
• Arms
• Core
• My will to live
Within 30 seconds I was sweating.
Within 2 minutes I was bargaining with God.
Within 5 minutes I felt like an Olympian.
It’s smooth, quiet, and the movement feels natural — not jerky or awkward.
Why It SLAPS
• Burns calories FAST
• Gets your heart rate up instantly
• Low impact on joints
• Adjustable height for different users
• Super sturdy (even during my chaotic climbing sessions)
• Folds away when you need your house to look normal
Honestly, it’s one of the best full-body cardio machines you can get without selling a kidney.
Pros
• Easy assembly
• Quiet (my kids didn’t even notice I was suffering)
• Smooth climbing motion
• 5 adjustable height levels
• Folds for storage
• Serious calorie burn
Cons
• Will make you question your fitness level
• You will sweat and then sweat more
• Not for the weak-willed (but you’ll get stronger FAST)
Final Verdict
If you want a machine that:
• Works your whole body
• Fits in your house
• Doesn’t cost a fortune
• Actually makes you feel the burn
Get this climber.
It humbled me, but it’s also giving me legs, stamina, and confidence I didn’t know I had.

Works upper, core, and lower muscles!
After I placed my order for the Relife Sports vertical climber, it arrived in less than a week. All parts were included with none of them damaged. Easy assembly, although instructions #2 & #3 were a little confusing relating them with the associated photos. I was able to complete the assembly within 15 minutes or a little less. Working out was straight forward and a real good workout. My lower body, core, and upper body really felt the affects. This machine is very sturdy, well built, with no problems so far. Not bad for the price. I recommend this fitness machine to all that wish to get fit and have little time to go to the gym or perform long workouts.

No regrets
I’ve been on these machines before and they seemed very flimsy. I’m 5’10, give or take 200 lb female, so I don’t want something wobbly. This feels nice and sturdy, not afraid to use it, awesome little machine!I did take someone’s advice from a review and purchased the Lucas white lithium grease to keep the cable lubricated. I re-lube it about every third use or so. The guy said he put a mat under it to keep the grease from flicking around on his floor. I tend to be a little more cautious about how I put it on and I haven’t had any problems with finding it flicking around anywhere.As you can see by the picture when stored it the footprint is really small. Even open the footprint isn’t big which would be ideal for even a studio apartment.I highly recommend it I’ve had it about 2 months I think, give or take a little.This was easy to assemble, I did it all myself.This is been perfect for me, I can use it at my leisure, I feel the strengthening of my muscles, and it will kick your butt! I would buy another just like it in a heartbeat.

Exercise effectiveness
Before buying this machine I was concerned that it wouldn’t be difficult enough to provide a good work-out for me. I’m a 210 pound, 6’2” 50 year old man. I’ve regularly exercised and stayed in shape pretty much my entire life. I have a resting heart rate of about 59 bpm. This climber seems sturdy enough, mostly made of steel tubing. I didn’t waste any time with the small digital timer. It’s not positioned where you can easily look at it. I’d actually have to get off the machine and bend down to read it. I’m just going to use my phone. I did a 25 minute workout. My iPhone paced this at about 2500 steps. At 15 minutes I was sweating profusely. By the end, my legs and arms felt like they had been worked pretty hard and I’m happy with the purchase. I will continue to use this as part of my overall fitness routine probably 2-3 times per week. There aren’t any resistance settings. Think of it more like running or swimming, make it harder by going faster. It’s easy to fold up and will fit in most coat closets so you could quickly pull it out to your living room and work-out while watching TV. Overall, it’s a very practical and effective cardio fitness option that hits your whole body. Update- Iâve added ankle weights to increase the difficulty of the workout

Es un aparato para hacer ejercicio que combina la resistencia y la fuerza también , para quemar calorÃas ; además está bien construido y diseñados con materiales fuertes y con excelente presentación en color negro, naranja y cromo .Me gustó que llegó antes de lo esperado y me ahorro la espera de tenerlo ya en mi casa , lo único que vi es que el instructivo viene en un solo idioma (inglés), pero era natural ya que el escalador es importado pero de ahà en fuera todo muy bien : sin ninguna queja, llegó bien cerrado y empacado , me gusta mucho mi compra.
