NEW TO CLIMBING?
Don’t worry about a thing. All you have to do is show up, and we’ll take care of you. You’ll do great, we promise!
While we do lots of cool stuff at VITAL (yoga, fitness, clinics, etc), we are at heart a climbing gym. You don’t need to have any experience to get started and we have climbs for all skill levels.
All of our locations are bouldering only. Bouldering is one of the main disciplines of climbing. You don’t need a rope, harness, or belayer—the walls aren’t very tall and are built over a padded floor. Free from the need of specialized knowledge or equipment, bouldering is a beautifully simple, social, and fun way to climb.
CLIMB FOR A DAY…
You don’t need to be a member and can buy a day pass which is valid for the whole day. Most of our customers are members, but lots of people come just for the day.
…OR BECOME A MEMBER
Members have 24/7 access to the gyms. We’re open to the public during the day, but only members are granted unlimited overnight access.
WHAT TO WEAR
Wear comfortable clothes you can move around in. Climbing shoes are required while on the walls in our Brooklyn and California locations. If you don't have your own, we have shoes available to rent, and we suggest wearing them with socks. We do allow climbing in street shoes in our Bellingham gym, but we recommend renting a pair of climbing shoes—you'll be surprised how small of a foothold you can use with them!
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
We keep our policies and pricing as simple and straightforward as possible—we don’t charge cancellation fees, initiation fees, or lock people into contracts. Our goal is to create a positive and supportive culture, and we’re sure that you’ll feel welcome here no matter your skill level.
