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.

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 10 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.
