VersaClimber SM-A Model: The SMA Sport Model, Body Weight Only

The VersaClimber SM-A model, also called the VersaClimber SMA Sport model, is the simplest SM Sport VersaClimber: no added resistance, a Quick Start display and the free VersaClimber app over Bluetooth. You climb against your own body weight and set the pace yourself. Built in the USA, this versa climber machine fits in a 42" × 45" footprint for gyms, studios, teams and home gyms.

✓ Body-weight climbing, no resistance to adjust

✓ Quick Start display, step on and go

✓ Free VersaClimber app over Bluetooth for heart rate, calories and power

✓ Non-impact, contra-lateral climbing motion

✓ Fits users 4'2"–7'1" and up to 350 lb

40+ years from the inventor of cardio climbing. Made in the USA since 1981.

What Makes the VersaClimber SM-A Stand Out

VersaClimber SM Aerobic Sport Commercial Vertical Climber – body-weight climbing

Body-Weight Climbing

No resistance knob and nothing to set. Step on and climb; your speed and stroke length decide how hard it is.

VersaClimber SM Aerobic Sport Commercial Vertical Climber – full-body climb

Fits Users 4'2" to 7'1" and Up to 350 lb

One machine fits climbers from 4'2" to 7'1" and up to 350 lb, so the whole household or gym can share it.

VersaClimber SM Aerobic Sport Commercial Vertical Climber – compact footprint, side view

Compact 42" × 45" Footprint

The free-standing base takes up just 42" × 45" of floor space. Wall and floor mounts take up even less.

How the SM-A Contra-Lateral Climb Works

Your right arm moves with your left leg, and your left arm with your right leg, the same cross-crawl pattern as climbing a ladder or crawling. Your upper and lower body work together and your core keeps you stable, with no impact on your joints.

Short, slow steps keep it easy for beginners. Longer, faster strokes make it harder. You set the intensity.

Body-Weight Resistance on the SM Aerobic

The SM-A has no magnetic resistance unit. Your body weight is the load, the way climbing a ladder or a rope works, so there's nothing to adjust between users or between sets.

To make it harder, climb faster or use a longer stroke. Quick, short strokes work for sprints; long, steady strokes work for longer climbs. If you want adjustable resistance for strength and stepper work, look at the SM-M.

SM-A Quick Start Display and Free VersaClimber App

The SM-A keeps things simple: press Quick Start and climb. There's no WiFi and no touchscreen, so there's nothing to update, log into or pay for.

Want more data? Pair it over Bluetooth with the free VersaClimber app for iOS and Android to track heart rate, calories and power on your phone.

SM-A Hand Grip Options

The SM-A comes with quick-release straight grips. Press the button, slide the grip out and move it to one of three heights.

Running Hand Grips swivel so your hands stay in a natural thumb-up position, and Arm Extenders add reach for taller users. Both can be added above.

SM-A Mounting Options

Wall Mount 38" × 93" tall Limited floor space. Bolts to concrete or a drywall wall with at least two wood studs.
