The process of building a climbing gym and choosing the proper location for it are not easy tasks and you should be extra cautious during the process.

In this article, we will walk you through the process when you are planning to invest in a climbing gym and how to reap the benefits without making any serious mistakes along the way.

This includes choosing the location. You should decide whether you are going to renovate an old facility, gym or hall or go all in to a new one. Also, we should note that choosing the right company that is going to build up 3D models and will execute for that process is pivotal.

At Holds&Walls we have more than 8 years of experience with big clients and different types of them. Some do want full-equipment renovation and others are counting on partial equipment from us.

In both cases, we are approaching every next case individually and so far, what we have accomplished is off the chain.

Let’s stop with the boasting and dive deep into practical ways on how to choose the best location for your climbing gym, some advice from our expertise during the years, and what it takes to achieve outstanding results.

Choose the location according to your budget

Every accountable investor should start with the budget first. Budgets play the largest role in choosing the location because you should know how big the place will be if you are going to build it up from scratch or renovate an old one.

Investors that are managing Spa and sports facilities can choose to renovate a part of their current halls and turn them into a climbing hall. That’s a pretty good idea and we have many clients in your portfolio that decided to do just that. You can take a look at our projects.

Choosing the location according to square area

Another pivotal factor is how big you want the location to be. There are big climbing centers with walls for different types of climbing and there are small ones that are smaller than 200 square meters.

Holds&Walls worked with investors that do have locations with more than 1500 sq.m. in mind for the whole project.

When you combine how big the location you are planning to be + your budget, then you can decide the next factors as well.

Choose the location for different types of climbing

As you may already know or you are getting into this now, multiple types of climbing require different setups, walls, volumes, and equipment.

As an investor, it is important to choose what service you are going to provide and what is your customer audience. If you are going to provide multiple climbing walls, then these are the most common types to choose from:

• Bouldering – it does involve more routes that are close to the ground
• Lead climbing – that type of climbing is for people that are way more advanced in the sport and they need special equipment to go higher.
• Top-rope climbing – here you are secure with a rope and the needed equipment to climb higher. It is suitable for people that are past beginners and want to explore the climbing niche.

Also, another pivotal element is how difficult the routes in the gyms would be. Normally, for smaller gyms, there can be fewer options and for bigger ones, you can choose to build a route for everyone – from kids to professional climbers.

Choose the location based on marketing research

Yes, that is right. When you are picking up a potential location for your climbing gym, you should first know if there is demand before the supply.

Nobody wants to create the hall and lose money when it comes to inconsistent interest, fewer bookings, and the inability of clients to find you on the map.

Locations are crucial for successful businesses and having a top-tier one will make or break your success. What else are you providing as a business? Is this climbing gym going to be a part of a shopping center, Spa center, Sports center, or a recreational place where you have a “consistent flow” of clients?

If yes, then you are good to start. Reach out to Holds&Walls.

If not, then you should make sure your location is a great one and people would be able to book and arrive at it effortlessly.

From our expertise, you can start with the marketing research from your team and put surveys, even put some social media ads to see if there is demand. According to the results, you can shape your next steps in the process and discuss this with your colleagues, marketing managers, and business partners.

You can discuss it with the team of Holds&Walls, of course. We know how to build astonishing climbing centers and that’s our main focus for the last 8 years. Contact our team.

Final words on choosing the proper location for your climbing gym

Bouldering revolutionized the Olympics and made its incredible debut at this year’s edition.

Sport climbing did make something incredible in Tokyo and marked its place next to sports disciplines as karate, swimming, gymnastics, badminton, and fencing among others.

You can see now that wall climbing is becoming a “bigger deal” worldwide and interest in it will only go stronger as years pass by.

That’s why we are taking our time to dedicate this blog post on bouldering, how the connection to the Olympics is making it a top-tier sport, and why you should look at it as an opportunity for profitable investments and a successful business model.

It is no secret that this year’s induction into the Olympics 2020 was praised by many climbing enthusiasts and professionals.

As more and more climbing gyms are opening in the USA and Europe, the sport is becoming extremely popular, especially to the younger generation.

There were three main disciplines at climbing at the Olympics:

• Bouldering
• Lead climbing
• Speed climbing

That’s some great news. If you have a climbing gym you can surely renovate it or upgrade it and meet the requirements for the disciplines. That’s a new approach to attracting more professionals or climbing enthusiasts to train at your center.

With that being said, we are going to proceed with answering a question that will make sure you will love the idea of having a professional climbing center and marketing is a place where people can exceed their climbing skills.

What holds and volumes were used at the Olympics in Tokyo?

As for all sports events, certain terms and regulations should be kept to build the climbing facility of the Olympics. Why are we mentioning this?

Here are some pivotal ones:

Objective criteria

Imagine that you are already in the process of building your climbing centre. You are having your contracts ready with the company and your gym centre is at the start of the transformation. That’s great news!

There’s a moment when you are thinking: “Everything is going fine but how would I attract more customers to visit and book my climbing centre?”

Do not worry for a moment. In this article, we are going to go further in our expertise and will suggest a few ways to sustain a decent flow of customers, why routes and their diversity is pivotal for the job, and how following the trends in the climbing world is your key element to keep up and offer astonishing service at all times.

Let’s dive deep into it, shall we?

Choosing the routes – covering the full spectrum from beginner to pros

Routes, as we all know, are the essence of climbing. When we start to work at the beginning with an investor, we are showing all our latest models, texture, materials, volumes, parts, and elements that are going to fulfill the whole construction.

Choosing different route models is not an easy task. Some measurements need to be taken first and then our team at Holds&Walls will create a 3D graphic modeling.

When it all adds up and we have our first glimpse on both digital and paper for the climbing gym, then we can proceed with the installation.

From our 8+ years of experience in providing top-quality routes, volumes, and materials for climbing centres, H&W has discovered that the investors that broaden their spectrum and offer multiple versions of routes with lesser and higher difficulty are way more marketable and successful in attracting more clients.

Imagine this situation. You have launched your centre which is covering a broader range of routes for beginners, intermediate climbers, and professionals. Isn’t this the perfect scenery when it comes to gaining trust from customers and building brand authority?

It sure is and Holds&Walls knows how to turn this into reality. Contact is for details. 

Climbing gym centres are usually a part of something bigger. In most cases, sports facilities, fitness, pools, or SPA centres.

There are thousands of people from all walks of life that are booking reservations, so the vast majority would be more than pleased to try bouldering if the service is marketed the proper way.

Make sure you cover everything that is needed when it comes to regulations, terms, and versatility, and clients will surely want to try what you have to offer.

Follow the trends in the climbing world – smart investing, renovation, and safety

 Holds&Walls have worked with many investors in the past that needed renovation of their climbing centre.

Of course, our company is always improving routes diversity, volumes, and materials we are using for maximum convenience.

As far as volumes go, you can see our newest and most advanced models here.  They are all made with absolute precision to detail and they look fantastic.

Choose our team of professionals and you will surely get a dynamically changing 3D place.

Renovation is not an easy task but “a must” because “amortization” is a real effect of routes and volumes losing their safety and efficiency when used for long years.

Holds&Walls is proud to announce that is directly distributing some of the most advanced and futuristic models you will ever find in Austria and Europe.

We are a wholesale supplier and our durable surface texture and volume sets are coming straight out of the factory. 

With impeccable attention to detail and using only high-grade-t-nuts and stainless metal inserts, we guarantee that your renovation is going to be worth it for years to come.

All of our marts and materials are made for utmost safety and people of all ages would love the vibrant design and colors.

You can choose between full-equipment renovation and partial-equipment renovation, respectively.

In both cases, you can be sure of world-class products that are going to give a proper boost to your business.

With that being said, we shared how pivotal is to work with a qualified team. It is, for instance, the main “secret” that you already know in attracting more clients to your centre afterward.

Final words from Holds&Walls

When you’ve built on a strong foundation – quality routes, amazing volume sets, and have a team of absolute professionals to design the process for you, then you can start attracting more clients to your climbing facility.

The process needs great marketing and advertising, but if you do not get the basics right, people would notice.

Working with us at Holds&Walls, you can be sure of no compromises on quality work and specific attention to detail. We do strive for perfection. If you need more information on anything including bouldering and helping with climbing halls, we are one message (us) away.

Throughout the years, Holds&Walls has exceeded in both working with great clients and giving the utmost results when it comes to building climbing halls and turning ordinary gym centers into a true climbing adventure.

Today, we have decided to share the process of working with a client of ours that originally was managing tennis halls but expanded their business model with another route – the climbing route.

So, how does a tennis hall like the one below turn into a functional climbing center?

We are talking about our project with FREIZI and you will visually see the transformation process from beginning to end.

We are going to lead you through this case study on how we cooperated and made something spectacular together.

Let’s start from the very beginning

Before FREIZI became one of our trusted clients, it took an individual process for their case to design and build the climbing hall for the investor.

It all started with an inquiry after another client has referred us as the company that would help in building a climbing hall for bouldering. Throughout our 8+ years of experience in the niche, we can proudly say that we helped many investors on versatile projects.

FREIZI decided to expand, as the company already provides numerous tennis courts, outdoor pool, badminton and sauna. More information about it you can find on the official website.

As bouldering trends are emerging in Austria for quite a while now, their executives decide that they are going to make an investment for one of the halls and turn it into a climbing one.

They contacted our team, gave us information about their property, which hall they plan to renovate and we talked further on all the steps from taking measurements, 3D modeling, contracts, executions, deadlines, and final adjustments before launching.

Our specialists at Holds&Walls went to FREIZI and took measurements. The results for this future climbing area got to be 580 sq. m.

This case study will make sure you grasp the whole process and will be rich in images from the very beginning, going through 3D modeling, finishing the full-equipment project, and even launch.

Contracts, further financing, and a long process of hard work

All right, it gets way more competitive and intriguing from here.

Holds&Walls researched the project, took exact measurements which we said to be a hall of 580 sq.m, and was ready to start with preparing all contracts. We discussed also the brands we are working with and chose the most suitable for the case:

When our team took measurements, hall plans and discussed further details with the investor, we were on the go to start our work together.

Engineering and visualizations

Take a first look at the models and how the climbing hall would look after all the project finishes execution:

Stay with us for a little longer and if you have any questions by now, contact us here.

We will try to minimize the long paragraphs and text, as the idea of our case study is to show you the full transformation of a tennis hall into a climbing one.

Still, we need to mention the steps of our working process:

• Harvesting all information about the visions and desires of our client.
• Receiving plans, measurements, and building details
• Sending a team to take measurements
• Going into 3D modeling mode and further engineering
• Fulfilling a contract with the client + further talks about extra volumes, sets, and parts
• Approval of contract
• Partial advance payment
• Project engineering and manufacturing
• Delivery of walls, parts, and preparation to start the installation
• Partial payments according to terms in the contract
• Project acceptance
• Final payment
• Getting ready for launch

*Important note: Holds&Walls tries to optimize the process as much as possible. We are a wholesale supplier of holds, walls, and volumes and they are delivered after manufacturing straight from the factory. Drop us a line or call our team, we will give further information and instructions right away. Now let’s take the whole working process to the visual side and show you how far we have come from transforming FREIZI into a climbing center that thousands of people love.

We turned it into a place of not only climbing but a place of practice and having a good time with your loved ones.

Visually, step by step…

Turning these digital plans into reality…

Phew, you would say that’s a lot of working process.

Indeed, it is, but we managed to create something incredibly functional and beautiful.

Just finished and Ready to Launch

We made it. The launch event, cameras, media coverage, and hundreds of happy faces – that was the atmosphere at FREIZI.

Since the climbing hall is functioning, the places at St. Georgen im Attergau have turned into a more compelling place to visit by people from all over Austria and tourists. Both kids and adults love the climbing halls and we can give you a glimpse of what the atmosphere at the center is.

Final words on the project

That’s what we call taking boulder climbing to the next level. We thank FREIZI for the trust and together we achieved impeccable results. Our team at Holds&Walls is beyond grateful for the opportunity to work on a project that still expands and shows incredible potential every single day.

Climbing halls are a great place for sports activities or use them as a recreational tool and one pivotal element comes first – safety.

Whether you are a beginner or a professional climber, you should be cautious and go to climbing centers that can provide full information on their hold technology, volumes provider, and quality.

Yes, we do agree, holds and volumes are made from materials that are built to last. There is one “but…”

There are key elements that will differentiate good holds from top-class products that are made not only to last for years but to advance in design, usability and is beneficial for the user experience.

In the current blog post, we are going to dive deep into the products Holds&Walls offer and we will formulate a verdict based on our experience on how we proceed in providing second-to-none quality climbing materials for customers.

Let’s get straight to the point.

What are the differences between multiple technologies which produce better holds and volumes?

Our team at H&W will make sure you understand simply what we use in creating our top-quality holds and volumes.

We work with professionals which distribute the highest quality materials for your model volumes, holds, t-nuts, and metal inserts.

We strive for precision in every little element. We do not compromise quality and investors that are working with us know that this is our in-house company mantra.

Our volume transformers are made through a technology that interacts with one another once they are placed on the wall. This creates great mobility for climbers and it can create intensity on different spots on it.

Let’s talk about abrasive texture, shall we?

The surface texture on our volumes is coated with an abrasive one that maintains incredible friction and surface durability.

We are counting on these three high-quality materials that are forming our products: plywood birch, stainless metal insights, and as we said abrasive texture.

As we discussed some of the main points of building a climbing hall and pivotal elements to watch if you want to save time, money, and effort in our previous articles, we are going to proceed with a relevant topic that investors encounter along the way — potential mistakes.

Truth be told, although mistakes are made in most cases from investors, there are multiple ways to not face any when you decide to expand your business and build your climbing center.

In the current article, we are going to discuss the most common mistakes investors make along the way and why it is important to work with an experienced team that will guide you until the desired results are achieved.

What are these mistakes?

To make it clear for you, we’ve chosen some mistake points that are made by a huge percentage of professionals and business partners.

Let’s begin with a mistake so common, that most investors and therefore their business suffer in the long shot — choosing the wrong company to work with.

Yes, we’ve said it. It happens so when an investor has a company in mind, he might not see some potential warnings and road bricks that are going to have a negative impact in the future.

Some of them are:

• The company can’t offer full equipment solutions (when we talk about building a climbing center from scratch)
• The company doesn’t have a variety of brands, volumes, and materials (this can lead to budget adjusting problems and further payment complications)
• The company just doesn’t have enough experience (there are new “cats” on the market that try to take their share but to achieve this, they need to build a respected portfolio and master their craft with ongoing projects)

At Holds&Walls we are proud to present our 8+ years of experience and a big project list that floods over Austria and other countries in Europe.

You can take a further look at all the gyms that we have equipped here and reached maximum results, long-term relationships with investors, and even more contacts with potential clients.

Do you have a business idea and you are ready for further discussions? Drop us a line.

Another common mistake that investors encounter is communication.

Count on communication

Business is a universal language and building the proper long-term relationships with investors is not an easy task. Not all professional companies manage to keep their clients due to lack of experience, expertise, and wrong approach.

At Holds&Walls we are having one foundation on which we start to build a climbing center or any additional project — that is “you”.

Our team will communicate with you throughout the whole process. We want to get in your head and make all of your visions and desires come to life. In the best way, of course.

Communication with us is pivotal because of the research we tend to do in the beginning.

After you give us measures and plans for the gym, we will proceed with our 3D modeling project. This will be the final call before taking any further action to build the climbing center.

When both sides agree on terms and conditions and have our contracts ready, Holds&Walls will get to work.

What are the consequences of encountering mistakes?

No respected business wants to make mistakes with the investment. It happens sometimes that it is due to external factors that some problems may occur.

Of course, everything can be fixed as soon as you choose to work with professionals that know their job and have an individual approach to your case.

At Holds&Walls we try to minimize all mistakes to zero because we are believers in the six/sigma quality work process and we are continuously improving.

Sadly, this is not the case with some climbing hall providing companies and investors can suffer big time on the following parts:

• Not receiving quality volumes, routes, and materials
• Losing more money than they can afford (exceeding budget)
• Not going all the way in finishing their gym (contract complications, inability to finish work, and partial equipment delivery)
• Exceeding delivery dates, miscalculations in agreements, etc.

If you want to get past problems of such kind, you can always communicate with our team and send inquiries.

How to avoid mistakes and succeed with your climbing center?

At Holds&Walls we happen to work with the best problem-solving team when it comes to finding solutions for your climbing center.

We want you to have full transparency of the project, price lists, and brands that we are working with.

At Holds&Walls we try not to use the word “problems” but it happens that in most situations there are many stages to solve before launching the climbing center.

Some of them are:

• Giving adequate information and measures – yes, that is right. Our team takes this as the first and most pivotal step before making any projections, so if there are any miscalculations, we would come to the place and measure every inch all over. Precision is “a must” in our work.
• Different visions – it happens that sometimes our vision and the investors are a bit different at planning. With proper understanding, sharing efficient ways, and know-how on the process, we are going to discuss until both sides agree. (This is the situation where it may take time and both physical and mental energy, but so far, we achieved impeccable results on previous projects)
• Payment – indeed, every project with H&W is individual, so offers will depend on materials, volumes, measures of the climbing hall, and work that is done. That is why we prepare all information in our contracts so you know every part of the payment and working process until the climbing center is fully ready.

These are some of the pivotal “problems” that may occur along the way. We would like to turn them into an opportunity to show full transparency and professionalism and build a long-lasting relationship with our investors.

“Problems” that are solvable with Holds&Walls

As we mentioned, Holds&Walls tries to take it one step further and solve all complications and misunderstandings along the process.

We are finding solutions and creating astonishing climbing centers. The Holds&Walls team has a great variety of products for climbing coming from one supplier. We do think this formula solves many production and delivery “problems” by default.

What else do we offer to solve some so-called “problems and concerns”?

• Wholesale prices
• Lower transport costs which save both time and money
• Quantity discounts and preferential terms
• Proven track record and professional attitude

We would be glad to work together and be the main distributor of holds and volumes for your climbing center.

Communication is the key with our team at H&W

If there is one foundation on which we build our relationship with investors, then that has to be “communication”.

To us, communicating and understanding your deepest desires, visions, and what you are trying to do with your future climbing center is pivotal to building an effective strategy and offer later on.

After we reach an agreement on how you see the design, then we can proceed to 3D modeling and present you the final project. When there is an agreement on both sides, we can proceed with preparing the contract.

Our contracts do require agreement on starting the working process, payment plan, and monitoring of reached milestones.

During this, we will be available for communication every day since we have the climbing center ready for launch.

Also, you do not need to waste any more time and energy planning further steps, because in our contract Holds&Walls will do the job accordingly.

Building a climbing center is not a “small task”. We do understand that you as an investor and business owner have a ton of other professional responsibilities to take care of.

Our team is excellent at project management and we will keep you updated on further steps at all times.

As it is shown by now, we have helped many businesses start their new ventures with climbing halls and we can guarantee you that you can put your trust in us.

What needs to be done to build a climbing hall that will stand the test of time and create an open space for other individuals to climb, have fun with friends and family, improve their climbing skills and relieve the stress from everyday activities?

Let’s begin with the basics first and we will later get to the top, shall we?

Prerequisites of Building a Climbing Hall

Always start with “Why?”

To us “why” is among the first steps and in most cases the biggest asset to creating a long-term business relationship in the process of building a climbing hall.

At Holds&Walls we will help with the proper execution of all parts later in the process but first, we need to know your vision and what drives you.

After we share a common understanding of how things should be, we can start by sharing more information on the location you have in mind, the type of business you are running or plan to start.

Let’s say you are a successful gym owner. This should be mentioned, too, there are other crucial factors like location of the gym, what people think of your service up until that moment and if you would be able to switch your strategy and promote your new business such as launching a climbing hall.

All of this should and would be discussed with our team because it does play a role in further development and achieving goals.

You can find out more about our 8+ years of experience in building astonishing Holds&Walls projects and offering top-quality volumes to make people’s business ideas come to life.

Our team is fully engaged in creating a plan that brings real results and your deepest desires in building a climbing hall will be fulfilled.

But first. Location is what we need to figure out. What place do you want to turn into a mesmerizing climbing hall? A Gym? Or you have an abandoned room and you wonder how to turn it into a scalable project? Reach out and let’s discuss.

The Importance of Location in Building a Climbing Hall

At Holds&Walls we can truly say that we are proud of working with professionals, gym owners that we share common ideas with not only in Vienna but other places in Austria and Europe.

In our catalog, we have helped tens of gyms to build original, competitive, and safe climbing walls with second to none design.

In fact, our team does not work by default and only measures locations. All of our walls, climbing volumes and hall designs are custom made and we are “adjusting” our professional volume parts to each location.

Whether you are a gym owner or have a space that is not in proper use at the moment, we are open to further discussions to turn it into an outstanding climbing hall.

Here is how the process goes with us in a couple of steps:

• The client gives detailed information, plans, and photos about the location.
• Then, we need to know how many walls does he want to have in it.
• After that, our team will measure every possible angle and have the information ready as soon as possible.
• Here comes 3D design and modeling. If the client likes what he sees, then we proceed to formulate the offer and further details in payment processes and execution.

As you can see, the process of figuring everything out about the specific location is not that hard, but requires responsibility, sharing common visions, and presenting detailed information.

Our precise work at Holds&Walls requires dedication through the process and we are proud to present satisfied clients we have worked with in the past here.

We made it clear about choosing the location, what it takes before construction, now it is time to dive deep into the whole process of building a climbing hall.

Step-by-Step Guide in Building a Climbing Hall

Location and measures are great as a foundation but later in the process of building a climbing hall, some steps should be executed right to finish all amazing projects.

Great companies do not do anything by half. As cliché as it may sound but from our experience, it is the absolute truth.

Our materials:

At Holds&Walls quality always comes first. There is no exception in all parts of the working process.

Starting with the materials, we use high-quality materials for the walls and volumes.

1. Highly-durable plywood birch
2. Stainless metal inserts
3. Abrasive textures for durability

Not only that, our materials do come in a wide specter of colors to make climbing more fun, vibrant, and pleasing.

After choosing all parts for the walls and the number of volumes, metal inserts, and colors, our team takes full responsibility for creating everything about the ongoing offer. This includes prices, contracts, engineering documents and regulations, delivery dates, and payment processes.

When these steps are all done and both sides agree on the terms, we can start with delivery and engineering right away.

To be completely honest with you, the process may take a lot of working hours, some “adjustments” along the way but in the end, it would be worth it.

Our professionals are so dedicated to the process that we do not look at building walls as work but as an opportunity for long-term relationships with appreciated clients.

When everything is done and the walls are ready, we will remain in touch at all times for further discussions and questions.
