I'm considering buying a vertical climber exercise machine and would like to know if they are worth buying for cardio exercise as well as body strength.

Has anyone had any success with these machines.

If so, can you share your experiences?

I sometimes use them for warm up, they're very intense. I don't know your fitness level, but if you're not fit, you won't last on them for any long period of time to burn enough calories.

I never considered this exercise. I will look into it. Do you prefer a certain brand?

It would appear that this is a lower impact machine for those of us with aging bodies as we get less limber. As I recall, years ago I went to a gym which had one, but haven't seen one since at one.

I just use the one at my gym. I believe it's a versa from the top of my head.
