GYM RULES

To keep you safe we have a few gym rules. We have written them here for you, or you can watch our safety induction video below

​

​DO

• Stay off the mats unless you’re climbing.

• Keep the mats free of bottles / phones / animals / Jenga.

• Be aware of people climbing around you.

• Be courteous to other people.

• Wear shoes when on the wall.

• Brush holds after yourself.

• Look out for each other.

DON’T

• Run or wrestle or jump.

• Climb too close to another climber on the wall.

• Wear rings or wrist jewellery while climbing.

• Top out 

• Walk through the arch.

LET US KNOW

• if you have any medical condition that may affect your ability to climb;

• if there is any loose/broken hold;

• if you have any concern or question;

CHILDREN

Our facilities are not designed specifically with kids in mind. Their experiences at our gym can vastly differ from those of adults. A fall of the same height is larger for a smaller person, and thus more dangerous. With these considerations, we ask that:

• participants must be aged 12 and over;

• guardians accompany their minors during our induction demonstration;

• every minor is supervised by a guardian at all time, with no more than 2 minors per guardian;

• guardians ensure that the minors under their supervision: 

  • follow the gym rules; 

  • climb within the height limit agreed with staff

​

LANDING SAFELY

• Use any holds to climb down whenever you can. Look for the fluoro pink holds.  

• Land on the mats with both feet at shoulder width apart.

• Bend your knees and roll onto your butt.

• Keep your hands tucked over your chest.

• Tuck your chin. 

• Practice falling from a low height first to gain confidence.

• If necessary, organise a spotter to guide your fall to the mats.

• AVOID landing on straight legs.

• AVOID rotation when jumping or falling.

• AVOID breaking the fall with your hands

• AVOID rolling forward.

• DON’T climb higher than you are willing to fall from.
