Fast Track Climber is a unique new piece of workout equipment available through an As Seen On TV offer. The device promises to make you work 3 times harder than a treadmill. Here’s our review.
What is the Fast Track Climber?
The Fast Track Climber is a unique new piece of exercise equipment that promises to target your upper body, lower body, core, and more.
At first glance, the Fast Track Climber looks kind of like an artist’s easel. It’s a series of metal poles angled upward with a base. The angled metal poles have foot and handholds. The idea is that you place your hands and feet on these holds and then make a climbing motion, moving your left arm and left leg in unison, then your right arm and right leg.
It promises to simulate rock climbing while providing a similar level of resistance. Some of the benefits of the device, according to the manufacturer, include:
- Simulates actual rock climbing motion
- Maximizes muscle contraction
- Doubles the workout of every extension
- Ideal for all fitness levels
- Durable construction made from “gym-quality” materials
- Can be assembled in minutes
- Folds away for easy storage
The device also comes with adjustable height, a rep counter that monitors your workout (using a mounted digital display), and an additional fitness and meal plan.
The Fast Track Climber is available through a $15 “30 day risk free trial offer”. However, as you’ll learn in the pricing section below, it ends up costing quite a bit more than that.
Fast Track Climber Features
- Burn up to 800 calories per hour
- 7 times the muscle activation of an elliptical
- 3 times the muscle activation of a treadmill
- Ergonomic design and adjustable height that support all body types
- Isometric comfort grips
- Smooth-gliding vertical track
- Rep counter digital display
From your very first steps on the device, the makers of Fast Track Climber claim you’ll be feeling the workout on your core, back, arms, calves, quads, and glutes.
Fast Track Climber Pricing
Fast Track Climber is available to order online through the official website at FastTrackClimber.com. You won’t find it sold anywhere else. At the official website, you can either buy it through a trial offer or just pay a one-time fee:
— Trial Offer: $14.95 + Free Shipping (Trial lasts 30 days; if you don’t return it within that 30 day period, then your credit card will automatically be charged 4 payments of $39.99 and you can keep the device)
— One Payment: $159.96 + Free Shipping (you save $14.95 by selecting this option without the trial)
The free shipping thing is a big deal: lots of exercise equipment manfuacturers advertise a low price online. Then, when you actually go to pay, there’s a $150 to $200 shipping charge. Heavy exercise equipment can be expensive to ship.
It’s also imprtoant to remember that you need to pay your ow nreturn shipping if you want to return the Fast Track Climber. In most cases, this is going to be more costly than your actual refund – so make sure you want to keep the device.
Delivery times are 7 to 10 business days – which is also shorter than most As Seen On TV products (we’ve reviewed many that have 4 to 6 week shipping times).

Should You Use the Fast Track Climber to Get Stronger and Burn Fat?
If you enjoy the movements of rock climbing, but don’t enjoy the actual rock climbing part, then Fast Track Climber may be the right choice for you. The device uses a unique motion to stimulate muscles that won’t normally be stimulated while on a treadmill or elliptical. It’s a new type of cardio motion that promises to be 3 times harder than a conventional treadmill workout.
That being said, the unique motion won’t be for everyone. Some might find it awkward while others will find that it doesn’t offer enough resistance to burn a meaningful number of calories.
Nevertheless, you can return the Fast Track Climber for a refund – which is easy if you get the trial option. So there’s no harm in trying it out for yourself to see if it works for you.
