Take your fitness to new heights.
Brooklyn Boulders (BKB) offers 25,000 square feet of climbing walls and a colorful, upbeat and supportive atmosphere at its West Loop space. First-time climbers, fret not: BKB provides a mandatory 15-minute orientation and introduction before you can even plant your fingers and toes in those holds. This includes an introductory climbing lesson, a “learn to fall” clinic, an explanation of risk management in a climbing environment and a free fitness assessment. Learn how to belay, an essential skill for climbing which involves securing and safeguarding another climber by using a rope to hold their weight if they fall.
For those looking to keep their feet planted on solid ground, BKB also offers yoga classes and a fitness facility with personal training classes.
