We are currently building over 3,000 square ft. of climbing wall surface in our facility. Thank you for your patience as we ensure the walls are properly and safely constructed. In addition, we are installing strength training boards for all your training needs! We hope you look forward to our fitness section including squat racks, dumbbells, and cardio equipment.

We did a 3D scan of our space in order to finalize our climbing wall designs. Rockwerx will begin manufacturing our steel climbing wall structures in the next few weeks.

We named the scanner Burt! He cute.
