As you know, we have been designing & building climbing walls and gyms since 1991. There are a number of other climbing wall builders out there but none that have the experience that we do in building successful climbing gyms.
That’s only gyms… we have built thousands and thousands of climbing walls.
Pretty much every climbing gym that we have built got its start with our Climbing Gym Start-up Consultation Package. This package is designed to give you all of the tools you need to get through the business planning and funding process.
At the core of the package is GymPlan – a complete climbing gym business plan based on knowledge from the success of the 86 climbing gyms that we have built. GymPlan comes as a Microsoft Word file for easy editing and formatting.
Most of our clients claim that the most valuable part of the package is GymCalc – an Excel based spread-sheet financial model of a climbing gym. This powerful tool begins with your local demographic data (population, income, age) and shows you what size climbing gym you should build to meet the demands of your area. It then produces real estate requirements & start-up costs and lets you create monthly revenue and expense models. In the end it provides the Return On Investment (ROI) projections that investors want to see before committing to investing in your project.
Also included are the following supporting documents:
Opening a climbing gym requires a ton of work and only the truly dedicated get it done. If you are 100% committed to opening a climbing gym, this package gives you everything you will need to reach your goal.
Once you have your funding and building secured and are ready to start building your climbing walls, we apply the cost of this package to your first payment on your climbing walls. Essentially if you hire Rockwerx to build your climbing gym, the start-up package is free.
Our Consulting Package is designed to educate climbing gym administrators on the industry and to provide entrepreneurs the tools necessary to secure funding for their climbing wall construction projects.
With the climbing market exploding, the creation of a modern climbing gym requires a tremendous amount of groundwork even before the first load of steel is delivered. Gone are the days when a handful of climbers would turn a truck full of 2x4s and plywood into a back alley climbing gym. Modern climbing gyms are real businesses that generate real profits. They provide specialized services like corporate team building and youth climbing programs, and they have to deal with real issues like taxes and workman’s compensation audits. The best climbing facilities are run by experienced management professionals who understand their success depends as much on customer service as it does on quality route setting.
