CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

Welcome to ClimbMax 1000, the perfect climber for your fitness facility or other group exercise
environment. ClimbMax’s durability, ease of use, and flexible programming make it ideal for both
individual and partnered workouts.

ClimbMax’s features include:

• Simple to Use: Press any key and ClimbMax’s console leads you through the simple steps

to start a workout. Or, just step on and start climbing.

• Continuous Performance Monitoring: The convenient, easy-to-read console shows the

progress of the workout—vertical speed, calories burned, and more.

• Built-in Workout Profiles: Three standard workouts offer combinations of calorie burning,

strength training, and endurance training to satisfy almost everyone.

• Optional Heart Rate Program: With its optional heart rate monitor, ClimbMax can

program a workout to reach and keep you at your optimal heart rate.

• Setup Mode: You can change ClimbMax’s default settings and limits to match the way

you want to operate.

So, ClimbMax is ideal for all of these climbers:

• Someone who’s never used a climber before uses manual mode, setting the speed to match

what he or she can do.

• Regular exercisers who want to push themselves can use the standard programs to increase

strength and endurance.

• Serious athletes can get their heart rates to the exact level they want, and keep them there

for the duration of their workouts.
