Jacobs Ladder 2

Jacobs Ladder 2 is a more compact, home-gym version of the original Jacobs Ladder treadmill-style ladder climber. Like the full commercial model, the JL2 is extremely durable and equally effective as a high intensity interval training tool for competitive athletes and low-impact cardio machine for safe and practical rehab work. The key design differences with this model are as follows:

• Different Rung Design: Polyurethane instead of maple
• Power Requirement: 110V or 220V rather than self-powered
• Width: 27.25” = 4” narrower than the standard Jacobs Ladder
• Weight: 300 LBS = 25 LBS lighter than standard Jacobs Ladder
• Warranty: 2 Years - Parts (The Full Size Jacobs Ladder is 4 Year Parts/1 Year Labor)

Functionally, the benefits of training with the Jacobs Ladder 2 are much the same as the original, including the 40-degree climbing angle that naturally removes much of the direct stress from the lower back, hips, and knees. The machine’s frame is quality-built from welded tubular steel, and the included digital display gives you helpful, immediate readouts on Elapsed Time, Feet Climbed, Rate (Feet/Min), Calorie Burn, and Heart Rate (using chest strap).

Cited in a study by the LSU School of Kinesiology as a “scientifically superior workout” to traditional treadmills, Jacobs Ladder has been increasingly absorbed into the training programs of professional and collegiate sports teams, police and fire departments, military bases and academies, and countless personal gyms large and small.
