CLMBR - Connected - Black

I loved the idea of a new fitness modality that challenged my entire body. The CLMBR delivered. It is unlike any fitness equipment I have tried (Treadmill, Rower, Spin Bike, etc..). You can absolutely destroy yourself with 10 minutes of work. It’s worth reviewing this product in two segments. First being the installation and then the actual use of the product. Installation - I had read a few reviews and was honestly a bit wary of the installation process. As noted above it is NOT a Treadmill, Rower or Spin Bike and installation is different. Few helpful tips based on my installation. The recommended Pro Tools to install will save you (and your fingers!) lots of time. Well worth it. Second, utilize the updated hardware kit guide. It matches the assembly guide (i.e., bolt AA goes into part L, etc..). Step 25 in the assembly guide gave me the most challenge. Few things that helped with this step: used a hammer to gently tap to bolt into place as this bolt starts threading at the far end. This helped get the bolt into place so I could start threading. Finally, it doesn't specifically call it out, but once you have fully assembled the product there are two cotter pins at the top of each upright that prevent the handles and steps from moving. Removing them (see image) allows the unit to glide as intended. They must use them for transporting. Function - Wow. The actual workout can be very challenging. It can also be very mild if you need. There is a huge range of flexibility depending on your fitness journey. I have not been able to make it through all the content yet, but the interface is user friendly an easy to navigate. The pattern of movement here may take a little to master. Also love the fact that it is zero impact and don't need hours of repetition to feel that I'm really working. Looking forward to putting it to work this new year!

I was billed for a membership when the directions explicitly stated I would not. The machine itself feels solid and it’s a good workout. The machine is big but I was able to give it a corner.

Belt failed. See pictures. Multiple similar posts online. Not built to last. Broke after 2 months of light use. Within the first year has to be serviced by manufacturer and geek squad warranty cannot be used. Now it’s going to be weeks for a new one. Good concept and great exercise. Get the Versaclimber. 30-40% of workouts, the videos stop working.

Just started on this machine. Works like it should so far

Defective item. Trying to return back and buy something else

The clmbr is a good workout, and I've enjoyed the videos. I think the monthly fee is a little steep. I hope it will come down over time. The installation instructions weren't the best, but I did find a video online that helped. The touch screen is a little clunky when you first start it up, but once you're up and running it is good. I haven't had any problems yet.

Please do not waste your money on this machine as it continuously freezes and does not work. I have argued with Customer Service to have our machine replaced and they continually just blame it on our Wi-Fi network. we have a wifi router in our gym. We also own a Tonal which works perfectly and we love. We are past the return point because we have “troubleshoot it for too long quote and we have completely wasted thousands of dollars. please dont purchase this scam. Not only does it freeze for hours you cannot even turn it off unless you unplug it.

Amazing workout, poor manufacturing and software! Installation was about 90% complete when two screw holes did not line up. They were off just enough to make the threads not go in. So frustrating after two hours of assembly. Had to drill one of the holes bigger to allow for the bolt to be installed. All holes should be lined up from the factory on this expensive of a machine. After the frustration of assembly, I hopped on the machine and did my first workout. LOVED IT! Probably one of the best exercises I’ve ever done in a short amount of time. the next day I turn on the display and notice there are no videos to select. Weird! Checked the Wi-Fi multiple times and it was still good, restarted the system. All to no luck. One of the restarts ends in an android recovery screen! So the software is built upon android and is in serious need to debugging. The machine was now worthless to me. No customer support number to call and I wasn’t going to wait on an email. Returned. I’ll be looking at other options. Love this style of workout, hate the software and manufacturing defects!
