About the BLOC climbing+fitness+yoga
the BLOC climbing+fitness+yoga is a Tucson rock climbing gym built around bouldering, fitness, and yoga. Founded in 2011, the business operates a 20,000 square foot, air-conditioned climbing and fitness facility in Tucson, with 7,000 square feet of bouldering walls designed and constructed by Vertical Solutions. The BLOC also has a second Tucson location, giving climbers and fitness enthusiasts options in both the downtown area and the Tanque Verde area.
Climbing is at the center of the BLOC experience. The facility includes bouldering walls, a separate area with a dozen auto-belays, a MoonBoard, and a training garage. The combination gives visitors several ways to approach climbing, whether they are learning the basics, working on movement and technique, or using the gym as part of a regular training routine. New climbers and those who have not climbed at the facility in the past year are asked to schedule a day pass appointment for their initial or return visit.
The BLOC extends beyond climbing with a range of cardio and weight equipment, including PreCOR equipment, as well as yoga classes. Its setup brings climbing, strength and cardio training, and yoga together in one facility. The gym also offers classes and events, with registration available for clinics and other activities listed on its calendar. These offerings give members and visitors opportunities to build skills, stay active, and take part in programming beyond an independent climbing session.
Membership is another way the BLOC connects people to the facility. The website invites climbers to purchase memberships and describes them as including exclusive perks and access to a supportive community. The BLOC also provides several membership options through its website, along with day passes, punch cards, gift cards, and a waiver process. For people looking to take their climbing outside the gym, the business offers outfitter and guide services and maintains a collection of Tucson climbing resources.
Getting started depends on a visitor's experience and plans. New climbers, as well as returning climbers who have been away for a year or more, should begin by booking a day pass appointment online. Those interested in ongoing access can review the available memberships, while people looking for instruction or structured activities can check the classes, clinics, events, and calendar. With its Tucson facilities, indoor climbing walls, fitness equipment, yoga classes, and guide services, the BLOC provides several entry points into climbing and related training.
