They never advertise it , I don't see it in stores and it exercises every inch of your body. It was used by the sadistic husband on the Julia Roberts' movie, "Sleeping With the Enemy." It sort of looks like a ladder and it appears to be propped up on a wall . You stand on one of the steps and your feet go up and down at the same time your arms and hands hold onto handles and they too go up and down. Does anyone know the name of it and why you don't see it for sale?

you'll get a better response here if you have the courtesy to post a link to the clip from the part of the movie to which you are referring. just a thought.

It sounds like a versa climber. Great total body workout. They were popular in the 90's.

Thank you all so much! It's way too expensive for me, though! Thanks again.

It's called Jacobs Ladder. At least that's the name listed on them, at gyms I have gone to. I think they are an older piece of equipment. I don't see them in newer gyms.
