Abstract
An exerciser simulator that comprises at least two generally concave members which define a frame, each of the concave members has a first end and a second end. In addition, a rotatable member is positioned adjacent to each of the first and second ends of each of the concave members. A unidirectional, close-looped transporting chain travelling adjacent to each of the concave members is provided, the transporting chain being rotatably received by the first end rotatable member and the second end rotatable member for travelling toward a direction defined by one of the first and second ends of each of the concave members. The exerciser simulator further comprises a plurality of exercise bars each of which is fixably mounted to both of the transporting chains, the exercise bars being mounted generally normal to the transporting chains at preselected positions of the transporting chains. Each of the exerise bars is securely mounted to the transporting chains, so that the weight of a user, as he advances on the exercise bars towards a direction opposite to the defined direction of travel of the transporting chains, causes the transporting chains and the attached exercise bars to travel toward the defined direction, thereby simulating a climbing exercise.
