What is a Cross Crawl?

The "cross-crawl" or "running motion" is the same pattern we use when we crawl, walk or run. It is otherwise known as our natural GAIT pattern. Cross crawl provides a unique alternative to the "standard" climbing motion VersaClimber provides. The Cross Crawl motion is  produced when the arm and leg approach each other on one side of body while the opposite arm and leg separate on the other side. It has been demonstrated this natural pattern will more safely and effectively strengthen the para-spinal musculature.

*VersaClimbers that come with Cross Crawl are as follows:

H, HP, SM and SMA. All others can be added with this option 

as an upgrade feature. Please contact us for details.

What is Standard Climb Pattern?

This is a pattern when your elbow & knee maintain equal distance apart both on the up stroke and down stroke. For example, when you climb a ladder, the hand that moves up a rung is followed by the foot on the same side of the body. 

Standard Climb pattern, the Elbow and Knee stay equal distance apart in either direction.
