It is priced at over It is called the "Max Climber" and priced at just under $250, this machine is a good one to check out!
For the price, this is FANTASTIC!!!
Until I tried it for myself, I was a little skeptical, but soon after buying one for myself, my opinion was quickly reversed.
I purchased mine from Amazon and it arrived really quickly. There was some assembly required, but it was easy and I was able to figure out how to build it without any problems.
After it was built I tried it out. Wow, not only did it give me a great cardio workout, but it was super quiet! At first I thought maybe it would be loud and obnoxious, but it wasn't. I have it sitting right near my television and I am able to watch tv while using it, and can hear the tv perfectly without needing to blast the volume.
Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and encourage anyone who is interested in this sort of Climbing Machine as Seen on TV, to check out the Maxi Climber before shelling out $1000 on those other expensive models.
Check out this review I found on Amazon for this Climbing Machine As Seen on TV
from a satisfied customer:"Vertical Climbers are the best exercise there is for cardio. I have had a more advanced version of a vertical climber, it was the Helix SC8000, that piece had tension adjustment and was the best thing I've ever had. That piece is no longer made so I have been waiting and searching for a similar item. We all know the Versaclimber is the best vertical climber around, but at a $1,000+ price, it is too steep for me. When I saw the Maxi Climber, I was not sure about it because of no tension adjustment, so for months I did not buy it. One day, I thought back to when I had my Helix and remembered I really didn't adjust the tension much anyway and pretty much just used it at the lowest tension unless I was isolating calves, so I finally decided to take the plunge with the Maxi Climber, after all I can return it if it sucks. Well....I just got it in the mail now, and when they say it is easy to put together, they are not just saying that to sell it to us, it is actually extremely easy to put together. Also, although there is no tension adjustment, it is just fine for what I need. Here's something to know....the foot "pedals" are on the smaller side. If you stand with the ball of your foot pushing down on the steps, you will work more front of the legs. I personally want to work more the back of my legs and my butt, so want to push down more with my heels. There is no way to put your heels on the steps and keep the piece balanced. So, I am wearing a very stiff soled hiking type shoe that keeps my foot flat and well supported so I can push down with my heels without my foot bending down as would happen with a soft soled normal gym shoe. Also, if you can only push with the balls of your feet, your leg muscles will tire very quickly. With a very stiff soled shoe, you can shift from heel to the ball of foot, keep balance and have a longer workout with balanced leg muscle development. Also, I have it in my bedroom and it hardly takes up any space. It is facing my TV and I can easily watch TV through the arm poles while I workout. I am so happy for Maxi climber and the world will be too in a couple months when I'm skinnier!!!!! Thank you Maxi Climber!!! Oh wait, it is also very very quiet. I live in a house with roommates in the basement below me with no sound proofing between my floor and their ceiling and the sound does not come through which means I can climb anytime day or night!!! A good day for me!! "
