Open to members 24/7
We are a bouldering-only gym which is one of the reasons we can be open 24/7. We have walls at different angles and problems set for all body types and skill levels.
We also have outdoor climbing on the roof. The rooftop climbing is open year round, but we do scale things back a bit in the winter.
Fitness &
Training
-
This training board uses wooden holds (which are gentle on your hands), and pairs with an app to structure your training. The holds are set up symmetrically left/right, and integrated lights show you where to move next. It’s an effective and fun way to get strong!
-
Our facility has two kilter boards: a 12x12 Kilter Original (right) and a 8x12 Kilter Home Wall (left). Both Kilter Boards are angle-adjustable, pair with the Kilter Board app, and are a great way to train. The Kilter Home Wall is a narrower board with a higher hold density and has smaller holds which lend themselves to more static movements. The Kilter Original is wider and tends to feature more dynamic moves between positive holds.
-
Brace yourself for some climbing jargon! We have a full campus board with three standard sizes of Tension Rungs, as well as Jug Rungs. Our hangboards include the Tension Grindstone, Simple Board, the Beastmaker 1K and 2K, Trango Rock Prodigy, Beastmaker Micros, Baboon Pinch Blocks, and other odds and ends (such as weights, pulleys and harnesses). Want something else? Be sure to let us know!
-
Think a super dense wall of climbing holds of every type and direction. The spray wall is a slightly to moderately overhung wall with no predetermined routes, but with enough holds that climbers of all levels can make a nearly infinite combination of moves. Spray walls are often used to target specific weaknesses or train for endurance by either making short, hard climbs or long, less strenous climbs. If you're interested in trying climbs that our members have set on our spray wall, you can find these on the Stōkt app.
-
Our weight area has a full range of Rogue equipment, including 4 squat/bench stations, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, pull up stations, a sled, and more.
-
We have plenty of cardio machines to help get your heart rate up. Choose from rowing machines, ellipticals, treadmills, stationary bikes, a Jacobs ladder and a stair climber.
-
Similar to a tightrope, a slackline is a flat length of webbing tensioned between two anchors. Improve your balance and coordination by walking, jumping, and doing tricks! We currently have one permanent 2" line.
-
The annex is an extension of the Brooklyn Gym located just across the street. This Space is where all Fitness classes are conducted and contains additional fitness and cardio equipment that is in the main gym. It is included with membership and is operational during peak hours only. It does not have 24 hour access.
Extras
Sauna
We have a great view from the roof, so we put a sauna up there. It’s especially nice after climbing on the roof on a cold day! Please read through our sauna FAQs before visiting.
Showers
Yes, we have showers, but did you know we also have outdoor showers on the roof? Because...why not?
Lockers
Check! You don’t need to bring a lock, and you can’t leave your stuff overnight.
Rooftop Cafe
We have a rooftop cafe to fuel your pre- and post- workout. Learn more about Bivy!
Social Space
Bring your work or homework to the gym and hang out. A change of scene can help you get some work done.
