The Versapulley, launched by Versaclimber UK, is the industry's first 'high-low multi-function pulley system' and combines cardiovascular and strength training at the same time.

Unlike Versaclimber's original step and climb system, the Versapulley has a gravity-free resistance system that uses a flywheel mechanism to store energy provided by the user through 'concentric contraction' and then releases it through 'eccentric contraction'.

This technology means that resistance is automatically decreased as muscles tire and reduces risk of injury.

The Versapulley can be used by all levels of athlete because it reflects the ability of the user.

'The Versapulley is the most versatile and most practical technology ever developed,' claims Neil Kelford, managing director of Versaclimber UK. 'It will challenge all traditional strength machines as it provides a complete, personalised, user-defined exercise profile.'

The Versapulley was launched in the US last year. Details: +44 (0)121 561 2771 or visit www.versaclimber.co.uk
