Nat Carruthers, Chief Design Officer and his team at CLMBR have invented a new state-of-the-art ergonomic and innovative climbing machine with a companion app that displays key metrics to maximize the user’s experience.
CLMBR is the first vertical climber to feature a large-format touch display with on-demand, instructor-led classes.
Climbing—a full-body workout that combines high-intensity cardio with resistance training—is one of the most efficient workouts possible, and a top-of-the-line climbing machine belongs in every fitness space, from commercial gyms to boutique studios.
However, the climbing machine segment has seen very little innovation over the last 40 years in regards to quality, design and technology.
The CLMBR team chose to reinvent the existing climbing machine to change the workout world and help bring awareness to the modality of climbing.
CLMBR has identified and addressed the pain points that fitness facility operators and end users typically experience with traditional climbing machines.
CLMBR’s patent-pending design has a high-quality build, a low level of required maintenance, and is easy to move – making it perfect for commercial or at-home use.
The machine is beautiful with an open structural design that leaves the user’s views unobstructed, supporting a natural athletic posture.
The open design removes the intrusive central pole typically found in outdated machines that blocks users’ view and is likely to interfere with correct body posture.
Built with a lightweight aluminum frame and integrated wheels, the CLMBR machine is portable and easy to move.
The machine is engineered with high-quality industrial grade materials, including Kevlarreinforced belts, and is made specifically for heavy commercial use.
Its critical parts are easily accessible, allowing for simple maintenance.
It also offers the latest user interface technology and state-of-the-art companion app that provides on-demand climbing classes and displays key metrics to maximize the user’s experience, including climbed vertical feet and the workout targets they have reached.
The integrated audio on CLMBR Connected can fill any space, making it feel just like an in studio climbing class.
Unlike traditional climbing machines, CLMBR reaches for new heights and is ideal for any modern user.
With zero impact, the machine is safe for most ages and levels of ability.
This updated design makes CLMBR an essential addition to gyms and studios for group fitness classes.
