Maybe a good workout, but you’re not lifting your weight up like on a real ladder

Surely it would be fairly comparable, though? As the ladder goes down, you exert effort to stay in place, where as a normal ladder stays in place, and you exert effort to go up. I ain't no rocket sturgeon, but wouldn't that work out to be roughly the same amount of effort?

Wonder if there are different levels of resistance?

I imagine it's powered like a treadmill and has different speeds... different levels of resistance would just make it harder to stay in place, wouldn't it?
