The gym also features an enormous fitness room, a climbing training zone, a yoga studio, co-working and community spaces, and a fully-stocked gear shop.

There’s a saying in climbing: “All you need to get started is a pair of climbing shoes and a chalk bag.” ⬇️

But something weird happens when you slide on climbing shoes for the first time, whether you borrowed them from a friend, inherited them from your aunt, or got a pair of rentals from the front desk. “Oh, these feel... different…” is a VERY common reaction. It’s a strange, strange sensation.

Now you have a shoe that has never felt like anything else on your foot. Where do you go next? What is this shoe supposed to feel like?

Don’t worry—we got you! Read our shoe guide to get some of our favorite tips and tricks for landing that ideal climbing shoe fit, link in bio 🔗 ...
