HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO OPEN A CLIMBING GYM

[@edwardwallace4252]

Thanks so much for the raw transparency. I'm looking to open my own gym soon. I will be documenting the whole thing as a way of giving back and helping others, just as you do. Thanks for being so down to earth.

[@maayazi]

any updates?

[@marioknowsitsgod1506]

Hey Edward did you ever pursue?

[@CrimpKeeper]

@@marioknowsitsgod1506 guess not LoL

[@PresidentBust]

If you made any research into this, I'd love to her ANY advice you came up with

[@jademcguire8640]

Did you ever open your gym?

[@Gmango10]

I have been looking at creating a climbing gym and have been doing some studying, and when I found this channel, I said this deserves a sub. Thank you so much!

[@climberdad]

Thank you! I hope the content will help you on your journey

[@Gmango10]

I'm sure it will help one way or another

[@jordanh1447]

Great vid, thanks for the info getting the research rolling

[@matthewtraver2895]

Good insight....would love to open a climbing gym one day. Also, Love the Chosen Shirt.

[@climberdad]

Thanks!

[@KellerBi3r]

Love this. Thanks for the info 🍻🤙

[@climberdad]

My pleasure

[@Feraloidies]

This has been a needed bucket of water over my daydreams of opening a gym. Now i need to work out how to convince someone else to open one in my area, haha. Closest indoor climbing is a 4 hour drive!

[@climberdad]

That's a drive! I'll be talking more about starting a climbing gym soon, hopefully. Keep watching.

[@howtogibbon2109]

Really interesting, since it's really a growing sport

[@xanhxanh5097]

thanks you so much for this video!

[@climberdad]

You're welcome

[@awabalmahi5196]

These videos are sooo helpful

[@climberdad]

Thanks!

[@erikbakker1639]

Great vid man, thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@Steven-gb1sr]

Very awesome video! Thank you for the info

[@jamesburkett4213]

I really want to open a climbing gym I just have so many questions on starting one like do you need a special inspector come inspect your climbing walls or what kind of permits do you need

[@climberdad]

That's a good question but a little complicated. I would love to compile a list of questions for some climbing wall talk videos.

[@leothelion634]

Thoughts on starting a bouldering only gym?

[@climberdad]

Where and who? I love bouldering and think that it is the purest form of climbing but it tends to be a harder sell to the general public, young kids and the aged.

[@w0ttheh3ll]

@@climberdad There are lots of bouldering only gyms in Germany.

[@Nolanh514]

Favorite video(s) are all the homemade climbing holds...not an easy feat to pull off! wish I had tried more materials when experimenting myself a few years ago. Nevertheless, I have homemade-resin holds bolted up outside right now and they have yet to fail me!

[@kevingreen2626]

Saw this video and got so excited since I live in Clarksville and never knew they had a gym!!! Much to my dismay google says it’s permanently closed 😢

[@climberdad]

Yes. We couldn't make it through the shutdowns in 2020, sad but true.

[@CrimpKeeper]

@@climberdad You didn't get the PPP loan?

[@nunya1881]

[@iamthekwan]

Thank you for your climbing gym videos. Question, how does floor square footage translate into wall square footage, as a guesstimate? Say if a retail shoplot is 3,000 sqft large?

[@climberdad]

Very quick answer- 2000 sqft. This would be a great question for the live event tonight, 7:30 Eastern.

[@iamthekwan]

@@climberdad Thank you!

[@iamthekwan]

@@climberdad This event, I presume? kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4mogoZ6mr5ropI Unfortunately I won't be able to make it due to timezone differences. All the best!

I dream about opening a climbing Coffe shop. Invest a god amount of money I dont have right now, maybe in future somethime.. . Thanks for video, it was very hopeful.

[@climberdad]

Got it.

[@Nolanh514]

I love climbing, but I love building and designing more! If you still need an extra hand for road crew, I am interested, (Sorry for being out of contact for a bit, went on vacation to Zion and lost track of time!) Awesome chalk pouch, would love to be considered for your giveaways!

[@climberdad]

Zion is a great place, easy to get lost in it's beauty.

[@RossPotts]

That auto belay cost; is that PER autobelay?

[@climberdad]

Last time I checked auto belays are costing $2,500-$4,000. per unit. Quantity, style and size all play into the cost.

[@RossPotts]

@@climberdad ouch…

[@MaCherieMcAli]

how do you get funding for a Rock Climbing Gym.

[@climberdad]

Personal funding up to 20%. Solid business plan and present it to as many banks as it takes for approval.

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

So basically dont build a climbing gym. Buy real estate.

[@climberdad]

Yeah, basically. If the goal is to make money anyways.

[@cycloneranger5354]

Unless you want contribute and help out your community like the climber dad. Life isn't all about making big money. So many small businesses out there who earn a modest living while providing excellent services to the public that enhance peoples lives; just make sure to do your homework.
