VersaClimber, made in USA for 27 years, is the only total-body, vertical, non-impact, cardiovascular exercise machine on the market. Unlike all other cardio trainers, the VersaClimber engages all major muscle groups at once, in an upward climb; A climb that can be achieved in an all out, lung burning sprint. Making it perfectly suited to the rigours and demands on combat MMA training.

The challenges of a sport like MMA present unique tests for fighters hoping to achieve their goals in the cage. Training is brutal, focusing on equipping fighters with the necessary power and endurance to defeat their opponent over five punishing rounds of full body combat.

UFC fighter and title contender, Kenny Florian explains:
"To be successful in UFC you have to tremendous cardio/stamina, the Versaclimber is the machine I use and that more and more UFC fighters are turning to in order to achieve these targets. Things like jogging/treadmills might work for other sports, but generally speaking, those types of exercises simply will not provide the power for sudden, intermittent, explosive bursts of force that you need to compete in MMA fighting. That's why I use the Versaclimber."

The unique, non-impact, vertical design of the Versaclimber eliminates joint injuries to knees and hips which can otherwise cause major problems (i.e. running/jogging) when enhancing their cardio, especially in heavier athletes with greater muscle mass and size.
