The workout burns between 600-800 calories in 30 minutes.

Celebrities have a new favorite workout that's a throwback 1980s.

The VersaClimber is a cardio machine that mimics the sensation of climbing a mountain. 

It's been around since 1981 when it was first created in a mechanical engineer's garage in California. 

"The big heyday for VersaClimber was the late '80s. It was running on all cylinders. It was very, very busy," Brett Collins, the sales manager of Versaclimber, told ESPN.

Now, it's experiencing a comeback and everyone from Lady Gaga to Hilary Duff swear by the machine.
