Who Can Use the Conquer Vertical Climber?
Just about anyone who wants to improve their fitness can use a Conquer Vertical Climbing Machine. Providing low-impact workouts, the user determines the intensity by the amount of effort they put in. This makes it suitable, even for people who are new to exercise.
What Muscles Does the Conquer Vertical Climber Work?
Workouts target the muscles of the lower body, including the glutes, quads, and hamstrings. Your arms and shoulders will also be worked and, to a lesser extent, your abs and core. To exercise your lower body only, grip the static handlebars instead of the movable ones.
Is the Resistance Adjustable?
The Conquer Vertical Climber does not have adjustable resistance. When using the device, resistance is created by the exerciser lifting their body weight up and down. This movement closely mimics that of rock climbing. For a tougher workout, take deeper steps and increase your pace.
What Height Ceiling Will I need?
A standard 8-foot ceiling is more than adequate to be able to work out on the Conquer Vertical Climber Exercise Machine.

Conquer Vertical Climber Purchaser Opinions
Feedback for the Conquer Vertical Climber is, in the main, very good.
Most purchasers are happy with the machine’s performance and stability. Its small footprint and low price-point have been praised.
Numerous reviewers said that the workouts are tougher than they’d expected and that they’d gotten great results.
A small percentage of reviewers rated the original version way down due to the nylon pulley and plastic covered metal cable on their machine fraying. This issue has been addressed in a recent upgrade, with the system being replaced by a cable similar to that on a bicycle.
Some purchasers who found the assembly instructions inadequate left negative feedback. Others were unhappy the machine didn’t fold to smaller dimensions.
Some people received machines with damaged parts or parts that did not fit, and a few found the Conquer Vertical Climber uncomfortable to use.
A handful of people complained of hearing the sound of metal grinding against metal and paint shearing off. A few also complained of a nasty odor emanating from their vertical climber’s handlebar covering.
Conquer Vertical Climber Summary
I don’t own a Conquer Vertical Climber, nor have I ever used one. I do, however, own and use a similar fitness tool, the Maxi Climber Vertical Climber, and I love it. (Click the previous link to read a review.)
With a good vertical climber exercise machine, short workouts undertaken regularly make a big difference. Since using my Maxi Climber, my thighs and buttocks look and feel a lot firmer. I consider it to be excellent value for money and a worthwhile addition to my fitness regimen.
