VersaClimber ALX Model Climbing Machine Ellipticals vs. Treadmills: Many cardio machines, like ellipticals, treadmills, steppers, and spin bikes, don’t provide a full-body workout. Why settle for less? The VersaClimber gives you a range of step and arm heights from 1 to 20 inches, making it perfect for everything from short 4-6" steps to sprinting at full speed with no top-end limits. It's ideal for full-body stretching and accommodates users with varying stride lengths—short, medium, or long. With its 20" step, you can perform a wide variety of exercises. Plus, unlike other cardio equipment, there are no cumbersome safety belts or guide lines to get in the way during your workout.
