The vertical climber has a 202-pound free-standing base with transportation wheels. The machine also has self-generating power, so it does not require an outlet. Additionally, it is belt-driven rather than chain-driven, creating a quieter and smoother workout. The pedal and handlebar stride is 20 inches.

The Xebex Vertical Climber also has multiple pre-programmed workout modes such as: race/opponent, interval, and goal. There is a backlit console to track performance metrics such as time, speed, and steps.

Additional accessories are available for purchase to add variety to your workout. There’s a cross-crawl attachment, neutral handle attachment, stepper attachment, and extender arms. This vertical climber also has a smartphone holder to keep your phone nearby while you workout.

There are limited online reviews of the product and they are mostly positive. The users shared that this machine gives them a great workout and that the machine is great for taller people, especially with the extenders. They also really loved the cross-crawl attachment which changes the standard pattern (elbow and knee on the same side of the body move together) to a pattern where opposite elbow and knee move together.

Resistance on the rope pulley and the tread belt are independent of each other and they can be used in combination or isolation. The APEX 4400 rope features progressive resistance which automatically adjusts from 30 to 450 pounds based on pulling speed and intensity. Additionally, the tread belt angle can be adjusted from 50 to 60 degrees to change the intensity of your workout. The APEX 4400 also features four retractable transport wheels.

The APEX 4400 is compatible with the HIPERVISION training app, which can help you customize your workouts, track your training, and link to multiple machines for group workouts and racing.

There are very few reviews of the APEX 4400 and most of them are from commercial gyms rather than home gym users. The reviews are all positive, with gym members enjoying this unique piece of equipment that provides a fantastic workout.

Ideal for high-intensity interval training, supersets or work in between sets, battle ropes will guarantee a full body workout in an incredibly short period of time

Battle ropes are often thought of as a tool for your upper body, which they are. However, their benefits don’t end there.

Battle rope workouts work the muscles in your abs, back, and glutes, and you can incorporate movements, such as jumps, lunges, and squats, that work your legs. Battle ropes also provide a great way to get top-end power like you would doing a one-rep max in barbell lifts like the squat or snatch.

But unlike with the bar, there’s a very nominal risk of injury. If your form breaks down on a max with a barbell, your risk for injury increases enormously because of the weight involved. If you screw up with the rope, the exercise won’t be effective but it won’t hurt you.
