Most workouts stay in the gym. Climbing makes you stronger everywhere.

At its core, climbing is one of the most functional ways to train your body. Every movement calls on balance, coordination, and power that directly translates to how you move through the world, not just how you move on a wall.

Strength That Works Everywhere

When you climb, your whole body has to work together as a fluid unit. You pull, push, twist, and drive through your legs, core, and arms, all in a single, coordinated motion. The resulting fitness, borne from creative movement on the wall, is more well rounded than a standard gym routine because of the infinite variety of movement that climbing calls for.

Core, Coordination, and Control

The coordination gained from climbing translates to more accurate foot placements on that technical trail run in the Cascades, increased balance on that ripping downhill bike ride from your stronger core, and general athleticism that you get to carry to every area of your life.

HIIT Training That Feels Different

At ROQ, we believe HIIT is not only fantastic for general fitness, but also a powerful tool for athletes looking to level up. You’ll move through short bursts of effort, strategic rest, and varied climbs that challenge your strength, power, and endurance all at once.  

Creative movement is the name of the game in climbing, and the constant mental stimulation of solving problems means the time flies by while you gain general purpose athleticism, in addition to quickly improving your climbing skills.  

More Than Muscle

Unlike pounding out miles on a treadmill, climbing keeps your brain actively engaged in solving “problems”, which are specific climbs that our coaches will choose to help you advance your performance on and off the wall.  The constantly changing movement adds unlimited diversity to training, which keeps repetitive motion overuse injuries at bay and stimulates your brain and body to keep improving.  The mental fortitude gained by pushing through the challenge of climbing will give you grit in all aspects of your life.
