Fluid Power CLIMB Fluid Resistance Body Climber

Get the Best Out of Your HIIT Workout with the Fluid Power Zone CLIMB 

Fluid Power CLIMB is a high-quality commercial grade contralateral full body climber.

The resistance is infinitely variable via the 10x Adjustable Fluid Resistance mechanism.

Contralateral climbing means that the opposite arm and leg will be synchronized in a natural movement pattern allowing the spine to remain in a neutral position.

The CLIMB is designed to withstand the most vigorous HIIT workout or provide silky smooth resistance suitable for warm ups, cool downs and rehabilitation.

The CLIMB seamlessly and automatically adjusts to your step height and arm reach requirements. The full body CLIMB doubles up as a lower body stepper. Stepping reduces the total workload compared to climbing.

The handrails can provide additional support to further reduce the load. Swapping between climbing and stepping adds another element of training variation in any zone, for any fitness level.

The Fluid Power CLIMB is a perfect inclusion for any type of fitness facility, it can add variety to all types of group and individual training and it only takes up half the space of a treadmill. 

How Does Fluid Power CLIMB Work? 

FDF PATENTED TECHNOLOGY

At the core of all Fluid Power Zone machines by FDF is the patented Twin Tank technology, providing 10 distinct levels of Fluid Resistance. The patented technology comprises Twin Tanks, the inner passive or holding tank and the outer active or resistance tank.

When you select a high level, water will flow from the passive holding tank to the active resistance tank as you begin to exercise, and you will experience the smooth fluid resistance, no matter what your speed.

Conversely, if you select a low level, the water will be transferred away from the active resistance tank and back into the passive holding tank, lowering the resistance. You can even make adjustments on the fly to find a load that is just right for your fitness training zone.

SEMI ISOKINETIC RESISTANCE

The water in active resistance tank acts as a brake to hold back the multi-bladed impeller, the more water in the active resistance tank the greater the braking effect.

The water in the active tank isn’t all staying in the active tank during the exercise (at any level), some of it is always being cycled through the passive holding tank.

As you attempt to generate more power by increasing your speed the water cycles faster between the Twin Tanks at greater and greater speed to maintain a consistent amount of water in both tanks. This creates such a unique smooth action and at virtually any speed.

Air resistance works in a similar way, however the variation in load that is possible by restricting an impeller from “no air to total air” does not create distinctly different levels of resistance, this is very obvious at low speeds.

At high speeds the two mediums, water and air, start to feel similar except for one very key difference that makes adjustable fluid resistance so unique. When the drive phase of an activity is followed by a recovery phase, as in rowing or ski ergometer exercises, during this recovery phase air does not provide the braking force that the water in our vertical tank does.

At the catch or beginning of the next drive phase the air machine impeller has high momentum and that creates a soft or no load pick up.

Essentially the resistance on an air machine cannot be felt again until your speed catches up to the flywheel and you start to apply a greater force against which the air will resist.

These differences are so easy for you to test for yourself. Compare the ROW against any common air resisted rowing machine. You will quickly see why our patented Twin Tank Fluid Resistance system is so smooth and consistent at virtually any speed.

Reasons to Include the FDF Fluid Power CLIMB In Your Facility

Fluid Power Zone machines are manufactured by FDF to exacting standards suitable for intense commercial fitness environments. Each Fluid Power Zone machine is designed to withstand the most vigorous HIIT workout or provide silky smooth resistance suitable for all sports, warm ups, cool downs and rehabilitation exercises.

The case for the inclusion of Fluid Power Zone in any commercial application is extremely strong.

Various pages with-in this Website outline the uniqueness of how our resistance system works and how that translates to a myriad of advantages and exercise options for different population demographics.

Without going back over the advantages of our low moment, concentric only, Fluid Resistance training, below are some additional advantages for including Fluid Power Zone machines in your facility.
