CLMBR - Connected - Black

I was billed for a membership when the directions explicitly stated I would not. The machine itself feels solid and it’s a good workout. The machine is big but I was able to give it a corner.

I loved the idea of a new fitness modality that challenged my entire body. The CLMBR delivered. It is unlike any fitness equipment I have tried (Treadmill, Rower, Spin Bike, etc..). You can absolutely destroy yourself with 10 minutes of work. It’s worth reviewing this product in two segments. First being the installation and then the actual use of the product. Installation - I had read a few reviews and was honestly a bit wary of the installation process. As noted above it is NOT a Treadmill, Rower or Spin Bike and installation is different. Few helpful tips based on my installation. The recommended Pro Tools to install will save you (and your fingers!) lots of time. Well worth it. Second, utilize the updated hardware kit guide. It matches the assembly guide (i.e., bolt AA goes into part L, etc..). Step 25 in the assembly guide gave me the most challenge. Few things that helped with this step: used a hammer to gently tap to bolt into place as this bolt starts threading at the far end. This helped get the bolt into place so I could start threading. Finally, it doesn't specifically call it out, but once you have fully assembled the product there are two cotter pins at the top of each upright that prevent the handles and steps from moving. Removing them (see image) allows the unit to glide as intended. They must use them for transporting. Function - Wow. The actual workout can be very challenging. It can also be very mild if you need. There is a huge range of flexibility depending on your fitness journey. I have not been able to make it through all the content yet, but the interface is user friendly an easy to navigate. The pattern of movement here may take a little to master. Also love the fact that it is zero impact and don't need hours of repetition to feel that I'm really working. Looking forward to putting it to work this new year!

Just started on this machine. Works like it should so far

Belt failed. See pictures. Multiple similar posts online. Not built to last. Broke after 2 months of light use. Within the first year has to be serviced by manufacturer and geek squad warranty cannot be used. Now it’s going to be weeks for a new one. Good concept and great exercise. Get the Versaclimber. 30-40% of workouts, the videos stop working.

Defective item. Trying to return back and buy something else

Please do not waste your money on this machine as it continuously freezes and does not work. I have argued with Customer Service to have our machine replaced and they continually just blame it on our Wi-Fi network. we have a wifi router in our gym. We also own a Tonal which works perfectly and we love. We are past the return point because we have “troubleshoot it for too long quote and we have completely wasted thousands of dollars. please dont purchase this scam. Not only does it freeze for hours you cannot even turn it off unless you unplug it.

I don't get it. It was a task to be put together. After 2 days of agonize work. I was hoping to work out but to my dismay I was meet with holes that were a struggle to align, the tv for me the biggest let down, without the paid subscription it's a screen. It's useeless, why have me connect to a network if all your going to show me is a black screen. Updates did not do anything. Download the app to connect my device. Pointless I think I am still awaiting the email to be sent to me. Blue tooth settings useless. I gave this 3 star because after spending money it's set-up. The resistants daily is cool but I could not tell. But others did. I will hopefully not have to get the paid subscription but I will have to. Darth vader lifestyle. I hope with the paid subscription it will be better. ill use it everyday until the next great thing.

I purchased my CLMBR at Christmas but was reluctant due to the mixed reviews. I downloaded the BUILT app that other reviewers commented on so I could determine how difficult the assembly would be. I was surprised to see that it appeared to be rather simple. Once the machine was delivered, I opened the box and as another person commented in a review, the assembly instructions were not in the box, only the “Quick Start Guide” in a clear plastic bag. The assembly went well however the left upright did not function as smoothly as it should, but it still worked. Once assembled I opened the bag with the “quick start guide” and surprisingly the assembly instructions were behind the quick start guide. Before contacting customer service regarding the left upright I completed the assembly to make sure there were no other outstanding issues. Except for the left upright not functioning smoothly, the assembly was easy, the resistance settings work fine and the WIFI connection worked well (no buffering/freezing). I spoke to customer service they have addressed the issue and now the left upright/machine is functioning smoothly. I must say, the CLMBR experience with no center support and viewing the classes on the large screen is great. I have only had it for a couple of months, but it appears to be made well and it is certainly sturdy. My experience has been great and would recommend CLMBR.
