Interactive at-home climbing machine CLMBR has announced a partnership with the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, which consists of eight HBCU member schools. Each MEAC school will receive a CLMBR connected machine to help their D-1 athletes train.
CLMBR’s machine stands over seven feet tall and has a touch screen to stream workouts. Investors in CLMBR include NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr, tennis star Novak Djokovic and Jay-Z . The company’s donations will allow MEAC schools to redirect athletics department funds from fitness equipment to other program needs.
MEAC men’s basketball teams from Howard University and Morgan State University recently played in an HBCU Classic game during NBA All-Star Weekend. The conference joins UFC as leagues to have deals with CLMBR as a deal announced in December saw CLMBR machines added to the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas.
