Open to anybody, whether you climb or not. The studio is its own room rather than a corner of the gym floor. [Class times and lengths to confirm.]

FAQs

Questions people ask.

Anything else, ring us on 02380 171 808.

  • Am I too old or unfit for this?

    No. Bouldering is problem solving as much as it is strength, and you climb at whatever height you are happy at. We have regulars in their seventies and people who came in having done no exercise for a decade. Older and Boulder on Tuesday and Thursday mornings is a gentle way in.

  • Can I come on my own?

    Most people do. You do not need a partner for bouldering, and it is normal to end up chatting to whoever is working the same problem. If you would rather arrive with a plan, come to a social.

  • Is there a training area?

    Yes. Weights, racks, rings, a board and space to warm up properly, all next to the walls. It is included with climbing memberships, and there is a gym only membership at £9.95 a month if that is all you want.

  • Are classes included in my membership?

    They are on Climbing and Classes, £63 a month. On a climbing only membership you can add classes for £8 a month. Classes without climbing are £25 a month.

  • Are the classes for climbers only?

    No. Yoga, Pilates and the strength classes are open to anybody, and plenty of people come for those and never touch the wall. They are aimed at climbers, which mostly means shoulders, hips and grip get some attention.

  • Do I need to book a class?

    Yes, spaces are limited. Book through the same system you book climbing with. [Class times and lengths to confirm.]

  • What happens at a social?

    You turn up on your own and leave with people to climb with. A coach is on the floor, there is no pressure and nobody is watching you. We run beginner socials, a women, trans and non-binary night, and an LGBTQ+ night.
