Thank you for the review. As you pointed out, its cheaper than the Vesraclimber, but from what I've read the CL300 doesn't offer the option for "contralateral Movement Pattern" which Versaclimber does.

[@freedomfitnessequipment]

Not even sure what that is and doubt anyone would ever use it.

[@chrisp1168]

Support USA built equipment. Plenty of refurbished ones to buy that are light years ahead of quality compared to these. And versa has been made in California since the 80s. A person knowing biomechanics or has been personal training on these knows contralateral movements are superior to later movements when it comes to coordination, core strengthening, and proprioception. This cl300 is like the older brother to the maxi climb.

[@fla01003]

That's one of the first things I noticed and why I would not buy it. Without the contralateral movement it does not mimic a normal gait pattern. For example, when your right knee goes up, your left arm should go up.

I asked to do a review of this product compared to my Versaclimber home they never contacted me back

[@BodySolidFit]

Sorry to hear that nobody got back to you! Do you recall which email address you sent your request to?

[@mrqualityreviewer4752]

@@BodySolidFit yes it’s the email on my KZbin page

What is your height? Are you bottoming it out at all? Are the handrails adjustable? They look very awkward, especially for short or tall? At 1:35 it seems to have almost no stability. Can you do a video of using it more than 26 seconds?

[@freedomfitnessequipment]

It's extremely stable, way more stable than the Versa, not sure what you mean by "bottoming out", the handrails aren't adjustable, but they don't get in the way at all, and handles are adjustable.

Do you have a review or video for BFMC10 model? I just want something for home but also am not interest in using the upper body portion. Am concerned of the handles on this BFMC10 are not in a place to comfortably put my hands . Thanks.

[@freedomfitnessequipment]

We do not offer the BFMC10 model, so we don't do reviews of that model.

[@Chris_from_Detroit]

As the price is closer to the VersaClimber Home Climber than the SMA Sport model, how would this Endurance unit perform in terms of durability? What maintenance is required?

[@freedomfitnessequipment]

The price isn't close to any of versa's commercial models, which as I mention in this video is what this model is: commercial grade. It's got an amazing warranty.

[@Chris_from_Detroit]

Understood! Thanks for the clarification!

[@trollzone1]

Home version of the versaclimber does not have adjustable resistance. This has more higher end features so comparing it to the more expensive models is valid.

[@agileproductaccelerator]

Left and right support tube are definitely an issue … NOT ALIGNED!! I just received it ; this is a nightmare to assemble I ask the revendor if he can do something … we ll see in 48hours So received it but impossible to assemble . What you mentioned in the video seems to be a quality issue !

[@ChrisP3000x]

Did you get it resolved? If it was Fitness Factory then they have literally zero support.

[@agileproductaccelerator]

@@ChrisP3000x I contact the support of the European vendor. Waiting for their feedback : change the tubes ? Or technician intervention? Obviously disappointed right now since it was impossible to assemble but optimistic on their capacity to solve the issue. We ll see …

[@BodySolidFit]

Please let us know if you haven't heard back yet! We're really sorry for the issue you've been having and assure you that is not typical.

[@agileproductaccelerator]

@@BodySolidFit Thanks. European support (and revendor Fitness Trading Belgium) were very reactive. Actually you really need to leave all screws very loose during assembling but this lack of alignment was very surprising. Adding the heavy mainframe solves the problem (and you really must be 2 persons for the operation). I must admit that finally the results is very stable. @bodysolidfit : You should make a short video explaining that (Step 2 & 3): easy, no cost but would be precious to to reassure your future customers. User manual is OK but with video ... much better!

[@agileproductaccelerator]

@@BodySolidFit European revendor (Fitness Trading Belgium) was very reactive and helpful. Actually, when assembling you must leave all screws very loose; adjustments are made with the heavy main frame (but you must be 2 persons for this operation). I must admit that the result is very robust and stable, also when you use the product (and I am very tall). A short video of assembly (specially for step 2 &3) showing the process would be very a good idea in addition to the product notice (to reassure your non professional customers) :) And I confirm that this new product is very similar to a Versaclimber!

[@ronhoover5516]

Always liked the VC but the price tag was waaaay too high to justify a piece of once- in- a- while equipment, in a limited space home gym to boot. This brings it more into the doable range. TY

[@freedomfitnessequipment]

I agree there - also the stability factor cannot be minimized.

[@KlutchLikeKobeENT]

@@freedomfitnessequipment do you have to assemble this machine or does it come with the stand already attached ???

[@freedomfitnessequipment]

@@KlutchLikeKobeENT It's brand new in the box, assembly required yes.

[@aclsass]

can you remove the arm handle? why is it so wide?

[@freedomfitnessequipment]

I'm sure you can, it's not that wide actually.
