VersaClimbing
The High Intensity, Low Impact Workout.
Sweat by BXR has developed the most effective calorie-burning cardiovascular group training sessions in the world. The Versaclimber is a unique machine that mimics the natural motion of climbing and allows for a full-body cardio workout. This machine burns more calories per minute than any other– up to 800 calories in a 45-minute session – whilst strengthening muscles. Unlike treadmill or spin classes, this workout is both low-impact and full-body, minimising unnecessary stress or trauma to your body.

A Versaclimber allows your body to work on a neuromuscular level. Therefore anyone training and or trying to improve their overall cardio ability the VersaClimber allows them to effectively condition their muscles whilst improving their threshold capacity without breaking the body or causing micro-traumas.
For instance, you would be able to perform an hour-long training session on a VersaClimber within a high heart rate zone without the concern of excessively tiring or damaging your body.
