Abstract

Climber exercise machine comprises a frame connected to a base through a base connection, the frame pivotable about the base connection. A right handle and a left handle are connected to respective right and left sides of the frame, the right handle moving within a first range of motion, the left handle moving within a second range of motion. A right pedal and a left pedal are connected to the respective right and left sides of the frame, the right pedal moving within a third range of motion, the left pedal moving within a forth range of motion. The right handle, the left handle, the right pedal, and the left pedal movable generally in the same plane. An angle between the frame and a plane parallel to an underside of the base is adjustable while the climber exercise machine is mounted by a user.

Claims (23)

1. A climber exercise machine, comprising:

an upright frame connected to a base, the frame extending at an angle relative to the base;

a right handle and a left handle slideably connected to the frame, the right handle moving within a first range of motion, the left handle moving within a second range of motion;

a right pedal and a left pedal slideably connected to the frame, the right pedal moving within a third range of motion, the left pedal moving within a fourth range of motion;

the right handle, the left handle, the right pedal, and the left pedal movable in a same plane,

wherein the right handle and the right pedal are slideably connected to the frame by engagement with a first track defined by the frame,

wherein the right handle and the right pedal are slideably connected to the frame by engagement with a second track defined by the frame, wherein each of the right handle, the left handle, the right pedal, and the left pedal are coupled to a respective, dedicated belt drive for providing resistance thereto on an individual basis,

a right handle sensor for sensing positioning of the right handle;

a left handle sensor for sensing positioning of the left handle;

a right pedal sensor for sensing positioning of the right pedal; and

a left pedal sensor for sensing positioning of the left pedal.

2. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the angle between the frame and a plane parallel to an underside of the base is adjustable while the climber exercise machine is mounted by a user, wherein the angle is adjustable.

3. The machine of claim 2 , wherein a resistance level to the motion of each of each of the left handle, the right handle, the left pedal and the right pedal is adjustable by a computer-controlled module.

4. The machine of claim 3 , wherein the angle is adjustable among at least four angle settings comprising a scaling setting, a crawling setting, a lunging setting and an inverting setting.

5. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the machine is configured for upper body workout when the third range of motion and the fourth range of motion are set to zero, and wherein the machine is configured for lower body workout when the first range of motion and the second range of motion are set to zero.

6. The machine of claim 1 , wherein each of the first range of motion, the second range of motion, the third range of motion, and the fourth range of motion has a range value different from the other three range values.

7. The machine of claim 1 , wherein each of the first range of motion, the second range of motion, the third range of motion, and the fourth range of motion is supported by a respective dedicated belt drive.

8. The machine of claim 1 , wherein a resistance level to each of the first range of motion, the second range of motion, the third range of motion, and the fourth range of motion is configured to be set to four different values.

9. The machine of claim 1 , further comprising workout intensity levels comprising a novice level, an intermediate level, an advanced level, and an expert level.

10. The machine of claim 1 , further comprising two retractable handles wherein the retractable handles are fixedly positioned about the frame such that the retractable handles do not include a range of motion.

11. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the machine is further configured for storing data in cloud, the data related to one or more of: a heart rate, a body temperature, an average rate of speed, and an endurance of a user.

12. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the machine is further configured to provide an ability to move each of the hands and legs in a different motion relative to remaining of the hands and legs.

13. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the machine is further configured for adjusting a tempo of music being played on a speaker or audio outlet of the machine.
