Product Overview and Scope of Climbing Gym 

A climbing gym is a type of gym that specializes in indoor and outdoor climbing. Climbing gyms include climbing walls for leading, top-roping, and bouldering. They occasionally provide training equipment to help with technique, strength, and endurance. Climbing is becoming more popular as a mainstream activity rather than a specialized sport. Like ordinary gyms, climbing gyms, help burn calories. These gyms can help to burn 500 to 900 calories every hour. It also helps in the development of power and strength, as well as raising aerobic and anaerobic fitness levels to new heights. A climbing gym is a man-made wall with hand and foot grips that are typically used for indoor climbing but can additionally be located outdoors. Some are brick or wooden constructions, but on most modern walls, the material most often used is a thick multiplex board with holes drilled into it.
