Maxi Climber Vertical Climber

For a piece of equipment that’s received so much media attention, we’re always keen to see how the customer reviews measure up once people start buying and using it in their own workouts.

In a short amount of time the MaxiClimber has managed to climb its way to the top of the bestsellers list for stepper machines on a number of ecommerce websites, including Amazon.

It’s not just the quantity and speed with which these reviews have appeared, but also their average overall rating.

A quick look at the rating distribution shows that the vast majority of people are happy with the quality and performance of the MaxiClimber, but at the same time it seems to be very much all or nothing.

There are very few ratings in the middle of the range, and while the number of 5 star ratings far outweighs the number awarded just 1 star, we wanted to put together a complete list of pros and cons to maintain our perspective as an unbiased review.

Pros:

– Easy to assemble, with the majority of the setup already completed prior to delivery
– Small footprint due to the vertical design
– Provides a full body workout
– Compact folding design
– No need for heavy weight stacks or plates to create the resistance
– Comfort grip handles
– Stable frame design supports users to 220 lb +
– A fraction of the price of similar climber equipment
– Lightweight frame makes it easy to move around if needed
– Ideal for quick workouts when you’re short on time

Cons:

– Console doesn’t provide much in the way of accurate feedback
– Console is poorly positioned for keeping track of feedback while you’re actually using the machine. You can only see your totals if you stop the workout.
