If you want to improve your finger strength, pull up strength, and overall climbing confidence, put one of these in. It is literally the easiest way I have found to train for all types of climbing. The variety of holds suits everyone from beginner to very advanced climbers. It takes seconds to jump on and bust out a set of pull ups on your hold of choice, and Metolius even publishes an easy and a hard workout for the board on their website. Try either workout for two weeks and you will notice yourself getting much stronger.

A couple minutes work will get this into any door-way. And from there the only thing you have between you and the monster upper body you want is the inherent pain of improvement!

Very comfortable and they look very good. I only regret not buying them in the spring instead of the late summer. The elastic waistband provides an excellent fit.

The simulator is a great addition to winter and summer workouts. Varied positions and sizes help you work whatever your tryin' to buff up. It's also nice and wide, so your shoulders get worked.

My friends and I session this board in my dorm room four times a week for about 20 minutes and in a month of use, there has been a huge difference. Mostly, I like the gained strength and confidence in my tendons and ligaments. Just keep a cut down toothbrush to clean it out and this thing will keep you pumped for sure. Just don't tell the school that I put holes in their wall:)

This training board has a great variety of holds and depths for training. You will notice a big difference in your strength, stability and endurance. IF you stick to your workout.

I could use a little more grip in those slopers, still great, new boards with " pinch trainers" should be designed. Good materials, as I did, you guys might want to drill a couple of more places to place it even more secure.

The stimulator is the best traing board for the money. It has the best variety of holds, and great texture...All my housemates love it!

Best price around, great overall board. Lots of combos for training when you can't get to the gym.

I have been climbing on and off for a few years now. Before I got the training board I only had a couple of days of training at the gym. Now I can train every day and I have seen, in only a few weeks of practice, my skill and ability to grip the necessary holds at least double. It was definitely worth the cost! The only reason I give it a 3 is because I have never used a training board before so can't compare it to anything but I love it!

The simulator is a very versatile and intense way to train. The workout that it provides not only increases finger strength, but allows you to imagine yourself out on the rocks. I would suggest this product to anyone who wants to train for hangs or just wants a fun full upper body and abs workout.

So far so good, I've been pleased with the board. The price is the best around. Contact strength is improving, so I'd say this is a great purchase and an easy way to get in a quick work out. Quality and price are the best out there. So what are you waiting for? Buy it! lol =)

I'm not religous or anything, but I love this training board. I put it up real high on a beam so that every time I have to get a stool or jump to it. By doing this it increases the fun because your up higher like you should be when rock climbing anyways.

The Metolius Simulator is a great tool for any outdoor enthusiast, not just climbers. It is a great modivator for any one to get in shape and the best training tool around. It just mounts above any opening or doorway.
